Like the previous reviewers, our driver had a hard time finding the hotel, but it was no big deal. It's in a quiet, safe neighborhood so it was worth a little trouble to find it. We were there on Good Friday which meant that the restaurant was closed, but Luis referred us to a good place nearby that was open.... More

We arrived late - Luis greeted and checked us in quickly. He gave a suggestion on where to eat and drink being it was Holy Thursday and everything was pretty much closed. He was so nice. He arranged transport to airport and to puerto viejo. The rooms had small ant like bugs found on the side table of the bed... More

My family and I stayed at the Mansion at the beginning of our Costa Rica trip. It took about an hour in heavy traffic to find the hotel and the cab driver drove in circles several times. Not the hotel's fault, but it's not an easy place to find. Staff is very nice and helpful. We stayed in room 5... More

No frills, decent value. Clean simple rooms with cable flat screen TVs and comfortable beds. Great location, walking distance to all the main parks, sights, and museums in the center of San Jose. Staff was very nice and helpful. Couldn't get a stable shower temp. Nice place if you're in city for just a night a two and need a... More

We stayed here for two nights at the end of our Costa Rica trip. We didn't have very high expectations for San Jose, but were pleasantly surprised and a lot of that had to do with this hotel. The folks there (Luis, Alejandro, and the woman who helped out in the kitchen and front desk who didn't speak much English)... More

We stayed in Mansion del Parque Bolivar (Mansion) for three nights in February 2013. The room was comfortable. The breakfast was very good. The bathroom was clean and modern. Lighting in both the room and the bath were excellent. The hotel and room were not as special as we hoped it would be, having read the reviews. We were in... More

A friend who is a resident of San Jose recommended the Mansion del Parque Bolivar Hotel. We stayed for one night, had a good stay and received good value. The staff was very helpful. They recommended an excellent local restaurant, Cafe Mundo Bar, within walking distance. We'd recommend for a neighborhood experience. A farmers market was within walking distance on... More

Our plane was late and as it was about 2am, we were glad we had decided to take the hotel pickup. We found our room spacious and clean (number 1). The decoration was not fancy but tasteful. The hotel is in a nice area and not too far to walk to the center. The staff was very friendly. We also... More
