Casa Mayela Guest House, hotel in San José

The best place I had in Panama and Costa Rica. It felt warm and cozy. Its a beautifull building and everything is well taken care of. The inside patio is a really nice place to sit and the kitchen has everything you need. The lady of the house makes ypu feel really welcome. I will be back before I leave.

Hotel Casa 69, hotel in San José

Located in central San Jose, Hotel Casa 69 offers a garden patio, free Wi-Fi in public areas and individually decorated rooms with cable TV. The National Museum is just a 10-minute walk away.

The two hosts were absolutely friendly and provided valuable information for our stay in San Jose and were also very helpful in organising transport (to the airport and within the city). There were three options to choose from for breakfast, which were good and really plentiful. The accommodation is a good starting point for exploring the city centre, which can be reached on foot in about 10 minutes. The accommodation is quite simply furnished, but offers everything you need for a stay. From the roof terrace you have a great view of the surrounding area. We stayed there a total of three times during our trip to Costa Rica and were given a very warm welcome each time. We can definitely recommend staying there.

    We rented a two-bedroom suite with kitchen facilities and we were very happy with our choice. The rooms were all spacious, clean, up-to-date and comfortable. They were also quiet. The reception staff and maids were friendly and welcoming and happy to accommodate our requests. La Sabana is in a great location, about 20 minutes outside the city centre in a quiet area of town with a park nearby. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance.

Super comfy and quiet private room, great location in a safe neighborhood to walk around and explore, good food options nearby… the kitchen is also well stocked with appliances and utensils, and there’s a beautiful patio to relax / hang out.

    Really lovely apartments in a great location. Close enough to the city centre to walk in but far enough out of the centre that it was quiet and peaceful. Also, lovely park nearby. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Very comfortable beds. Was lovely relaxing by the pool watching the various birds after a busy day sightseeing. Breakfast was great, fresh and tasty food and lots of it. Would highly recommend.

Our private room faced toward the main street and yet was super quiet when we had the windows closed. Excellent sleep followed by an excellent breakfast.
