    The new-fashioned and stylish rooms are wonderful, near museums. The hotel offers a rich and extensive breakfast, perfect food selection, and impeccable service. The staff are superfriendly and outstandingly accommodating. The location is great and stunning, not too far from Antigua Aduana Event Venue.

    I enjoyed being there, the place is nicely appointed and beautifuly designed.

    The hotel had an excellent location near Pre-Columbian Gold Museum. Walking distance to a museum and a central market that I wanted to see. The double room was newly renovated, it had a safe, full-length windows and an iron.

    The location is exceptionnal, in the very heart of the city. Old style hotel very charming Valet Parking overall easy. Very nice bar and restaurant but expensive.

    Most of the staff are not helpful at all, except a couple of young Ladies at the reception desk who are nice and always ready to fine a solution to any problems. Staff in the restaurant for breakfast are almost rude and not easy going at all. We stayed for 10 nights and had booked a superior room. But it was very small, old furnished and most of the utilities in the bathroom did not work properly. We asked to move to another room but the response was firm and was no way. Not commercial at all for a stay of 10 nights when you think most clients do not stay more than a couple of nights if not only one. Christian COFFINET Paris, Francia

    Can't beat the location, dead-center of San Jose. Good restaurant with live music.

    No air-conditioning, a fan that couldn't go at a speed that would actually move any air, and windows opening to a secluded roof-space which housed 8 air-conditioning exhausts. The temperature inside the room was easily 5 degrees centigrade higher than in the hallways or outside. We had a very uncomfortable night.

    the hotel had a very central location. Our updated and big double room with 2 50" TVs was great. 3. It was just a walking distance from a historical cathedral.

    It is particularly central. Yet quiet. The breakfast room and in the evening the bar offers a special view of the capital of Costa Rica. Worth seeing.

    The restaurant was very very good the hotel is located in the city

    - The personal at the reception was total unfriedly and not very helpful and arrogant - the room was very dirty - the mini bar was empty, thanks alot for that! - the battery of the save was empty - the room was very very loud, located next to the room of the cleaing personal and the sound of the air fans behind the windows - really terrible! - no air condition in the room (and belive me this is really needed in Costa Rica) - it was the worstest hotel during my whole stay in Costa Rica - for europe/US conditions the hotel and room, maximum 2 Stars, but never never never 4 Stars!

    Central location

    Rude unfriendly unsmiling indifferent front desk staff. Wet bar in room unstocked. No instructions in room about how to use telephone. Dialing "0" for operator gets you a busy signal. So you have to run down to front desk where, when you ask how to reach hotel operator they look at you like you are crazy and tell you to "press 9". They then snicker when you thank them. Hotel Internet does not work. Old , worn out furnishings.
