“Great neighborhood, good price”

Reviewed 11 March 2013

We stayed here one night, before catching the bus/boat to Tortuguero. Our room was basic but very clean and comfortable. There is a lovely rooftop balcony that is great for birding. The breakfast fare was simple and delicious. The hotel is located in a very pleasant neighborhood just a couple of blocks from the lovely Parque Espana, which is full... More

Stayed here on 3 separate occasions as part of a group organised tour and had 3 completely different experiences. Was in room 22 on the first night and had an awful night's sleep as the room was so noisy - right by reception, near to breakfast room and on the corner of the road. On the second visit, stayed in...

“Basic hotel, good value for large groups, not for singles”

Reviewed 31 October 2012

I was all ready to give this hotel a not-so-good review after my first night in this hotel because the room was SO noisy and bright, but after dealing with it for many hours, the staff were nice and let me stay in another room for the night. Most of the staff are friendly, although some are not quite as... More

“Variable quality”

Reviewed 20 September 2012

We stayed several times in this place and the quality of the rooms differed a lot; from acceptable to absolutely poor. In general it is a rather old hotel with some worn down furniture. One of our rooms was very small, had only one light bulb and the bed was placed in a corner where one could not stand beside... More

Dear Bastian, Thank you for your comments. As you staded in your review we are indeed an old hotel, actually we are situated in historical buildings with a colonial style. The 4 old mansions are connected in the 90’s to form a hotel. By breaking through the patios at the backside of the different houses we succeed to transform them... More

We recently visited this hotel with our 3 year old twins. After reading the comments on this site, our expectations were not very high. Fortunately the comments proved not justified. The hotel is not a tourist factory but a nice hotel with a unique character with a green courtyard. The rooms were thoroughly decorated, spotless and were fairly priced. The... More
