San José hotels in Catedral

Pros: Walking in to seeing a Christmas tree instantly put a smile on my face. The service, breakfast and room were all outstanding. I would stay here again, and again, and again!

Pros: The breakfast was very good - the staff were very helpful

Pros: the breakfast was okay. location is okay if you're staying a night and have to go to the airport the next day.

Cons: The front desk staff lacks professionalism. On one occasion, I was hoping to use the phone to book a tour. The front desk attendant said that he knew a better company and dialed a number and my friend didn't really ask for specifics and booked the tour. As a side note, that company that starts with the letter "M" was the worst experience I had in Costa Rica in terms of safety while driving. Not only did the front desk attendant have the audacity to refer us to this "M" company, when I called to ask what the company's name was he told me to act like we asked for the number and not tell anyone that he had referred us to them. This is not even the tip of the iceberg. On one occasion, my friend and I were getting a couple of drinks and since most people go out at night, we were called "squares" in Spanish for staying in and drinking at the hotel instead of outside. We found two cockroaches in the hotel which is normal since the front door is always open, but upon finding a third cockroach a day later, I managed to keep it under a glass and left it for the cleaning staff to discard because I forgot to do it. When we returned later that same night and the room was cleaned, we were not given a new glass. The cleaning staff rinsed the glass and left it on top of the desk. I mean, who does that? As a side note, the cockroach was about two inches big and touched the surface of the cup.

Cons: Would happily stay again Good nights sleep Breakfast was lovely too

Pros: Dinner is reasonably priced very well presented and great taste. My favorite personnel is in the small bar, his face is always shining and he runs and accommodates.

Pros: Friendly staff but the lighting was poor and not enough to read, and sometimes the train noise was loud.

Cons: Lighting in the room

Pros: We only stayed one night but we had a really good experience. Room was very spacious and clean. Staff was super helpful and kind. Breakfast buffet style was delicious and very filling. You even get a complementary welcome drink when you arrive. The hotel is basically a huge mansion with very nice decoration. Outdoor seating is also very pretty.

Cons: A bit noisy when the train passes nearby but thankfully not at night and they give you earplugs if you want but we did not need it.

Pros: Loved this hotel it was walking distance to everything and the staff and hotel were amazing

Pros: Clean (like, immaculate!), pretty and comfortable. The perfect place to spend a night or two. The staff was friendly, the food was good, and the atmosphere was very peaceful. Walking distance to shops, downtown squares and panaderias.

Cons: There is a train that runs behind the property a couple times a day. It's not too loud and we never heard it at night, but important to note for people who are really noise sensitive.

Pros: Nothing to Like

Cons: They over charge you when you get there for stuff that you didnt even hear about it.

Pros: Kindness of the staff, the breakfast, the room, everything!

Pros: staff very helpful with tips as how to explore the area by yourself, not only selling any tours; generally very kind people

Cons: Breakfast a bit boring if you stay longer, but that is a minor issue

Pros: The good price for a double room. Nice staff. Free coffee and tea. Breakfast included.

Cons: The bathroom not in the room. (Shared) Very far from the airport about 45min by car

Pros: Clean, decent facilities, comfy rooms, nice location away from busy downtown, secure, good WiFi

Cons: Would be nice if there was a pool or something to do in the communal areas

Pros: Safe Laid back Very clean! The front desk staff friendly and helpful!

Pros: Friendly sttaf, good location in the main city. It has breakfast

Cons: Maybe for some an air conditioner will be necessary.

Pros: Very nice clean room, good location, kind owner, very good breakfast and coffee

Pros: Friendly staff, lots of areas to hangout, WiFi was great. Coffee and tea served all the time. Huge room. Mine was private with washroom.

Cons: Cold at night. Ants in room

Pros: Best hostel that I have been to! Rooms are quite large and bathrooms are kept clean. Highly recommend this location for those looking to save some money!

Pros: Breakfast was good and the staff were friendly

Cons: Very loud - noisey neighbours, loud train and traffic, ongoing construction. Windows don’t close properly so very difficult to block noise out

Pros: We were charged 90 $ a night for a room with a fan that didn't work and no hot water. Found out other people on our tour were charged 45$ a night so feel very very ripped off. Stayed in a 5 star hotel in centre for less money than paid here. Not happy. Poor.

Cons: No hot water, a fan that didn't work.

Pros: The staff was wonderful,

Cons: Construction noise was a constant during the day, but that is to be expected.

Pros: Fantastically friendly staff; slick interior design; best free breakfast ANYWHERE!

Cons: Parking can be tricky!I

Pros: Pleasant, helpful staff. Refrigerator and safe in room. Location was walking distance from several museums and a park.

Cons: Information about an inexpensive way to get there from the airport.

Pros: The staff were very friendly and could not help us enough to either recommend restaurants or to organise a hire car. The hotel is quite centrally located but is adjacent to a main road and a railway line. Therefore they is a lot of noise from traffic or trains sounding their horn which can wake you from sleep. Breakfast was basic. They were unable to make poached eggs but provided equally acceptable scrambled ones.

Cons: The noise from the train line beside the hotel.

Pros: location is good. neighborhood is very amenable. concierge staff was helpful and courteous.

Cons: restaurant staff was courteous but not respectful of expected work schedule...the restaurant part of this hotel leaves a great deal to be desired in terms of its professionalism, its purpose. I also believe that the restaurant is in bad need of a marketing strategy that recognizes it is in one the better districts of the city. the room we were given was large and commodious. but it was not completely clean...finding dust accumulation and hair. the details were missed. the wood floor of this room is visually very beautiful..unfortunately the floor boards are so loose and the squeaking is so loud we were certain it could wake the neighbors. we lacked hot water in this room. staff suggestions to run the water for some time is a waste of a resource. we learned of the hotel from its previous owners and were expecting a property that is better maintained than this.

Pros: The hotel is average.

Cons: The room is small, no coffee machine the place was almost empty I asked to change my room and they said no No map of the city no free coffee in the lobby Next day they had no soup or shampoo The place needs a new management. Small things makes the place great

Pros: Nice building, good location,

Cons: The breakfast was not really fresh and one of the beds was not really confortable

Pros: The staff were exceptional and super attentive. The special Mother's Day set menu was delicious as well.

Cons: Squeaky floorboards in the room.

Cons: Little room, old Tv without remote

Pros: The location close to Escalante neighbourhood is excellent. The rooms are spacious, and the little gardens here ands there are a nice add-on. The receptionists went at length to make my stay as enjoyable as possible.

Cons: Overall the hotel and its services feels somewhat outdated. The breakfast was below average, the same every day. Being in the capital city one would expect more variety and a higher quality.
