I stayed for a month at Casa Lima in one of the apartments that had a bedroom with TV, a large closet, safe, large window, AC, kitchen with stove/oven and nice bathroom. It was perfect for my long stay. I also really enjoyed the location of Casa Lima...just 3 blocks from the US Embassy and the main road in Pavas... More

"Mi Casa es Su Casa", for those who need a Spanish translation means, "My house is your house" and this is how I felt at Casa Lima! Run by a Cuban owner Nelson, when asked him to explain a little to me of its history, he said that "Lima" is his mother's last name and it all started with making... More

I sometimes wonder who writes some of these reviews, really.... And if they are authentic - even worse, when you know there is so much better to be found! As others have said, this is a small hotel, not a B&B - almost every hotel in Costa Rica provides breakfast - still a hotel. This one was cleanish - and... More

My husband and I came to stay at Casa Lima while there having dental work. While I really didn't want to stay in San Jose, it was practical given why we were there. San Jose is very crowded and beyond a couple of ornate buildings and the stadium, there isn't really much to see. I will lay out the review... More

We booked this B&B as our starting point for our tour of Costa Rica. We were to be there only one night. Nelson, Emillio and staff were wonderful. The rooms were clean. The food was great. The hospitality was like being in a close family home. The courtyard was the meeting place for everyone. Nelson was helpful with tips on... More

My girlfriend and I stayed at Casa Lima in San Jose for the first night of our trip. I would never do this again. The hotel was nice, but San Jose is not. The hotel has a nice courtyard with places to sit, drink and eat. The hotel also is a pizzeria which is good. Our total cost for the... More

We stayed here for the second time this year. It's a relaxed B&B in a residential suburb of San Jose. All the staff are very helpful, and try to make your stay comfortable. There are several outdoor seating areas, so that you are not stuck in your room, but can socialize with other guests or just read a book. We... More
