Staying at this hotel was a mix of comfort and charm, with clean and cozy rooms, but some noise distraction from neighboring guests. The staff was approachable and willing to go out of their way to assist. The location was outstanding, close to trendy neighborhoods and attractions, with a few minor inconveniences like noise and limited parking.

The hotel is a charming converted collection of Costa Rican houses, offering clean, quiet, and comfy rooms. While facing the garden area led to early morning noise from French children, the overall stay was pleasant.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although comfortable, weren't as nice as some others we considered, but they were still decent for the price. The service was incredibly helpful and kind, going above and beyond to assist guests. The location was like an oasis in the middle of the city, with tropical forest surroundings. The dining options had some limitations, especially for those with dietary restrictions. Overall, a good value for money stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms are very basic and somewhat tired, not quite matching the website images. However, the location is excellent for a peaceful stay within walking distance of downtown. Service is generally helpful but had some shortcomings. The dining options were good overall but limited for guests with dietary restrictions.
