Ester`s Place, hotel in Escazu

Located in Escazu, 31 miles from Poas National Park, Ester`s Place provides accommodations with a garden, free private parking and a terrace.

I stay in San Jose lots traveling through, and this is the first time I have stayed at Ester's place. The place was a breath of fresh air from what I am used to. The staff, which is a husband and wife, and a delightful maid were extraordinary friendly and helpful during check-in/ out. The property is in a super safe and nice area of Escazu. The facility itself is very nice with a community kitchen that is well stocked with things that you can use. The room itself was huge, way larger than a hotel room, and had a nice balcony. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in San Jose for shopping or heading to or from the airport.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Family run and so friendly and safe. Loved the garden & inside outside vibe. The area is gorgeous and has great shops & restaurants. Breakfast is huge, but you can tailor it to your needs. Poor dad went from trying to feed me everything to 2 perfectly boiled eggs. A great base in San Jose and a very nice neighbourhood.

    Great location for us because we were visiting friends a couple of doors down. Nice area, patrolled by a security guard so felt safe and there was a lovely restaurant area nearby with some good food and bars on offer. Room is as simple but comfortable and clean and the fan was a welcome addition. Space to sit outside and have breakfast.

    We really loved our stay at Cosy Apartment Mirador. It was a wonderful base and felt like home for us. We spent two weeks there as we needed to explore the Central Valley. It is in a great location and extremely peaceful, which was wonderful after the hustle and bustle of the city. Our host, Gonelli, was very welcoming and informative. The views from the apartment are magnificent and we thoroughly enjoyed late afternoons sitting on the balcony. I would highly recommend this apartment!
