El staff nos contó que es un hotel que tiene 183 años de historia, y la verdad que esta en super perfectas condiciones. Todo muy bien cuidado, aseado y ordenado. Nos han encantado las habitaciones por su espacio, limpieza, iluminación del baño. Camas comodas y con sabanas muy suaves. Además el staff estuvo muy atento a nuestra llegada, y a las peticiones que les fuimos haciendo. Nos sirvieron el desayuno pronto en la mañana porque saliamos al amanecer. Lo unico que no tuvimos sitio en el propio hotel para aparcar el coche y lo tuvimos que dejar en un parking privado girando la esquina que nos costo 6$ la noche.

Easy walk from central bus terminal. Friendly, helpful reception. Clean room. As far as I could tell there were 2 shared bathrooms. Hotel seemed to be full, but I never had any issue with bathroom availability during my 4 night stay. Central market was a 4-minute walk. Plenty of places to eat and shop nearby.

The price you pay for what you get is not justified. $80 and no air conditioning is not worthy for me. They charge $2 for a water bottle. Also, it is very loud at night. You can hear everything they say in the lobby.

Cute place. Friendly and helpful staff. Room was great. We arrived on a Saturday evening, for the night, prior to a flight out the next day. This area of town was mostly closed for business. We figured it would be more inviting on a week day during business hours. It was not enjoyable to walk around and check things out like we were hoping. Excellent breakfast was included.

The owner, Charles, was very helpful and friendly which made our late night check in easy. The place is safe and clean so it’s perfect if you’re traveling alone with a small child. Book directly with the hotel to save even more money which I will do for my next stay. I enjoyed my Tico breakfast with the other guests in the lovely outdoor dining area. The staff (ladies in the kitchen& front desk) were great too!

Nice stay
The stay was good. Had a bit of a hostel vibe to it. The staff was friendly and informative. It was great for a nights stay. Breakfast was decent the next morning as well. For a pre and post flight hotel it works great. Keep in mind there isn’t any A/C so the rooms can get quite hot.

It was a good place to stay. It was a bit of a shock the area around and getting too. I also thought there would be air conditioning but there wasn’t. The staff was amazing! They were so polite and very good at their jobs. The food was so good! Beds are firm. Over all a pretty good stay thanks
