Cons: Located in the centre of San Jose, traffic meant a private transfer would take 2 hours from the airport. Rooms are a little bit dated in comparison to the pictures. The bed and bathroom were clean but the wardrobe had thousands of wood mites/bugs crawling all over it. Quite hard to find things to do around the area.

Pros: big, bright airy rooms with comfy beds, extremely friendly staff, good breakfast.
Cons: stinky corridors and restrooms. May be they should use something fragrant to mop the floor with and use fresh mop cloths. very stinky it was. Even the restrooms stank. May be its due to some the drainage issue. but they need to do something with the smell. Change the mop cloth.

Pros: Rooms were spacious light and airy, old building with interesting design. Walking distance to the city centre and barro amon with beautiful buildings and cafes tucked way. A lovely garden area with tables and flowers.
Cons: Shower was not very clean and very old towels. Old building so a lot of noise - got woken up in the middle of the night and early in the morning. Tables at breakfast were cleared but then the plates etc. were left in the garden area including beer cans I presume from the night before (?). Curtains were very thin letting all the light in. Overpriced.

Pros: The room is big, the bathroom is ok. It was quiet cold during night. Maybe it is not too comfortable during cold nights.
Cons: The breakfast has very limited options. Yogurt only kefir. You receive a small portion of fruits. No cheese, only butter and jelly (homemade, good ones). But you can have the typical Costa Rica gallo pinto, eggs and patacones de plátanos. We stayed at a room with balcony. The window of many rooms opens to the corridor. There is a problem if you are with big luggage or if you have any walking difficulty. The hotel has no lift and many stairs.
3.8 Mediocre
Pros: Only location, that's it.
Cons: The room was dirty. There was a lot of someone's hair on bathroom floor and tile and it was really gross. Bathroom towels were not really clean. The owner of the property was also rude and he was so impatient. Breakfast was basic, eggs, toasts, coffee, jam, nothing special. Luckily I only spent there one night. Only location was good, really close to downtown San Jose.

Pros: Friendly helpful staff in front, especially David. Convenient location in San Jose. Good breakfast from a choice of three. Comfortable room for the price. The owner Tomas was very nice and helpful.
Cons: Our safe in our room was problematic as it didn't always function. However, on a positive note they did fix it. Computer was older and rather slow though the latter may be more of an issue with the server in the area.
9.2 Excellent
Pros: Bed comfy, decent continental breakfast, nice jacuzzi, very friendly staff. Lots of places to sit. Location near main shopping area but quiet. Nice suggestions for dinner.
Cons: The bathroom and toilet, though seperated from the bedroom by a wall did not have it's own roof so you can hear the facilities being used from the bedroom area which is not ideal.

Pros: Clean, safe, comfortable, and friendly and professional staff. Has gym for a quick workout. You can tell owner takes pride in his property.

Pros: I only stay at Taormina, It is my official "go to" place whenever I am in San Jose (I am there at least 5 times a year). The facilities are clean, the staff is nice and the rooms have been renovated within the last year as well.

Showed was big and clean with nice water pressure and hot hot water. Soap and travel sized toiletries provided. The casino and bar were in good shape with lots of sports playing on TVs. Good drink specials on the bar. Staff very friendly. The included hot breakfast is a delicious buffet with eggs, rice and beans, sausage or bacon, fresh fruit and juices and hot coffee. One day there were pancakes and empanadas as well. Cereal and oatmeal too. Great value for the price. Location was great. A short walk to the parks and shopping in San Jose. It was easy to explore the city from here and we felt safe.

Cons: I only didn’t like the strong air freshener sprayed in the room upon arrival. It faded after a day though. I am sensitive to strong smells. Bed was firm but this seems to be the norm for Costa Rica.

They basically understand that if you rent a room for 2 people but your wife it’s not there on the first day, then she’s a prostitute and must pay 70$ to go up the room.

Pros:
Cons: The booking was for breakfast included in the price. It was only after I had finshed eating that the waitress told me it was only the continental breakfast that was included and that I should have been given a voucher. She said I would have to pay as I had ordered something else. I was not told this when I paid for the room the night before, or given a voucher. When I spoke to the hotel manager (who was not the person on reception when I paid) he first of all said he would have told me. When I said it wasn't him who I paid, he then said he had told me the next day. He had asked for payment twice the next day when my bill had already been settled and on neither of those ocassions did he mention a breakfast voucher. When I said he hadn't told me and asked why didn't I have a voucher then, if he'd told me, he then said it didn't matter as I would still have to pay. So a breakfast that was meant to be included cost me $8.

Although I asked for a quiet room, i was assigned one overlooking the common kitchen ! I had to change for another quieter but less nice room without window. The rooms are certainly not all equal as I found out from friends in other parts of the building.

Pros: The staff
Cons: When we got to the room we didn't have power for the lights or the ac so I called downstairs (the phone worked) and they informed me you have to insert your keycard in a slot by the door to get power. Weird but ok, I'll play along. After a couple hours of trying to get the ac to work and trying to sleep without it, I ended up calling the desk and having them take a look. They couldn't figure it out and moved us to a room right next door, which was an upgrade. The staff was great and helpful with the situation but the new ac didn't work much better. All in all, not a bad hotel. Great location, there was free breakfast we didn't get to enjoy, they opened my bottle of wine, and took great care of my complaint. However, there was a lot of construction which was a little weird to deal with and the ac is a huge thing for me. From the north and my house is constantly freezing.

10.0 Excellent
Pros: Omg, there is so much to say, Nidya, Carlos, Alejandra all managed everything from the front desk so well, anything at all. Ricky and all the cleaning girls all keep this property very clean... Security personel and restaurant service people are all right on top of things...I have stayed there about 5 or 6 times this year and will keep coming back. This place is the best value in the city, Restaurant, bar, Casino, all the best...they even have ROKU on the tvs in most of the rooms....
Cons: Not a thing, this hotel has never failed to give superior service and it value to me and everyone I have spoken to that has stayed there

4.5 Okay
Pros: Front desk staff was nice and friendly.

Water from the shower shot everywhere but where it was supposed to. Sheets were stained. Not a good experience at all.

Pros: The free breakfast was very Spartan. One egg, one small sausage link, brown rice, two very small slices of plantain and one slice of toast. My buddy ordered an extra breakfast and the attendant made a big deal not to honor the extra breakfast he had requested until someone from the main hotel could confirm.
