Hotel Casa Roland San José
"Lovely big room. Very clean. Traditional Costa Rica feel throughout. We only stayed for one night but it was perfect for us for that purpose. If we had stayed longer we might have have missed a pool with kids. Traditional Costa Rican breakfast served. Excellent value."

Casa Lima Bed & Breakfast
"The unit I was given was nothing like the photos. It was very dated and dirty. There was even blood stain in various areas. The bathroom did not have hot water in the shower or the sink. Air conditioner barely worked. Our room was extremely hot and musty"
