Stayed here twice on our trip and can definitely recommend it. The more expensive queen rooms are worth the extra $10. The only thing I didn't like was people smoking in the small courtyard just off the main common area. They may as well be smoking inside. A cooked breakfast was worth paying extra for. Location was good 10 minute... More

We reviewed every place we stayed in Costa Rica and mainly gave 4s and 5s - but this place was terrible and we're genuinely baffled by the decent reviews. Our experience began badly and got worse. The receptionist who greeted us on the evening of December 22 was surly and unhelpful. The room we were taken to looked nice enough... More

Stayed here for the first & last night of our two weeks in CR. Was disappointed with the breakfast on the first visit. We were in the lounge for ages waiting for breakfast despite 3 staff on duty who didn't acknowledge us. Then we found it was only cold, dry toast & they were out of coffee. Water for tea... More

We stayed in a double room for a few nights in August and came back again for a night in November. The room was spacious and clean. We also had a balcony. Bathroom was simple and clean. There were two computers for public use but wi-fi was available. Free breakfast was two slices of toast with jam, tea and coffee.... More

We stayed here the first two nights while we planned our trip. (The bed is more comfortable than my own back home). We travelled north and we travelled south but came back here each time we passed through San Jose. Staff very helpful and switched on. highly recommend. More

I had to be in San Jose for business for two days. After visiting several diferent Hostels, B&B's and Guesthouses, I picked Costa Rica Guesthouse because of the clean rooms and especially their clean bathrooms. Also first thing I check in a room is the bed. I can't sleep on those foam mattresses. They have a nice Living area with... More

Very nice and clean rooms and bathroom with nice hot showers. More

The service we experienced while there was always courteous and naturally, some staff more conversational/friendly than others - but no complaints at all on a staff note. The room is exactly as it looks in the pictures - simple but nicely finished. We stayed for 10 days. During this time, they came each day and made the bed, but only... More

Costa Rica Guesthouse is a very nice hostel in a city that could easily be in my personal top 3 of worst cities ever visited. The neighborhood is a bit dodgy, but what neighborhood is not in San Jose? The staff is really friendly, the rooms are clean and so are the shared bathrooms. There's free wi-fi and a indoor... More
