Feedback from Travelers

Very nice, great location, a lot of options for restaurants. Great room, would have loved to stay longer.

- DENISE L, DEC 2018

This was our first accommodation place in Costa Rica and we couldn't be more impressed! If the first one was like this we only expected the next ones to be similar or even better. Which was what happened! Great place to stay near the capital, I recommend it for everyone 100%.

- JOAO A, APR 2018

Location is the biggest plus for this hotel, on the pedestrian mall, close to museums, restaurants, shopping. Otherwise pretty average big city hotel.
