Jorge is extremely friendly and helpful. He helped me arrange a taxi for the next morning. He even showed to make sure everything went well. I was given a room with a balcony and patio. Very nice and unexpected.

Excellent check-in by Jorge. He stayed in touch via WhatsApp and waited until my shuttle (came in late) arrived.

Overall a great choice. The professional & friendly host (Jorge) met me upon arrival, quickly checked me in, provided keys & site tour, showed me how to use everything in my room. Room was spacious & quiet, full kitchen, fridge, TV. VERY FAST Wi-Fi. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Jorge checked me in quickly, gave tour of building and room. Awesome kitchen & fridge included. Reasonably priced. Tours drop off and pick up next door. Mercados nearby, walkable.

Check in is a 3pm and I got there waaay before that but Jorge (the front desk person) had the room ready in like an hour so I can check in. I traveled by myself and this place was enough for me, just what I needed. Affordable and just a few minutes walk from restaurants, park, market and bars. The room had a fridge a microwave, a sink and TV. Only thing it didn’t have was a coffee machine, I drink a lot of coffee but it really wasn’t a big deal, its Costa Rica you find coffee everywhere;) also They give you a key to get to the hotel and that made me feel safe, only guests can go in.
