This hotel is a 5 minute drive to juan santamaria (SJO) airport. Really convenient if you arrive but especially before departure as traffic in san jose can be quite unpredictible.
This hotel is a hidden gem. Anonymous facade from a previous familly house, you wouldn't know it's an hotel until you get in. It's more than a hotel imo, it feels like home with a communal kitchen and a lush and peaceful garden for the 8 or 10 rooms around it. It felt safe and welcoming. The only hotel where other guests were also friendly even if most only stay for a day.
The owner personally welcomes each guests, even though I was a little stressed out from the no parking in front and trying to find parking. if you do have a car, ask the owner where to park, he has an agreement with another lot for discounted parking (2.5k colo nes per 12 hours, which less expensive than other public parqueos that scams tourists)
Beds are the most comfortable in the 8 rented locations in 3 weeks.
There is Kolbi store to the left to get a sim card or recharge one can be useful. Super compro (food store) around the block and several other boutiques.
Not much to do besides the magnificient cathedral, the free museum, and the boutiques. I liked the 2nd hand libray Goolight books that has books in english, german, french and spanish.
Bottom line - this place is a hidden gem
