They also come with a safety-deposit box and a private bathroom with free toiletries. We loved everything about the property! Location is great, close to the beach and good cafes but still remote to don’t hear the street noise. The decor of the accommodation and its surroundings were impeccable with plenty of privacy. And the host Spyros was so welcoming and helpful, definetely worth 5⭐️

This classic hotel is located in a quiet area of San José, 3 km from the city centre. It offers an outdoor pool, tennis court and complementary WiFi connection and shuttle to and from the airport, this service must be booked 36 hours in advanced. Best breakfast i eat in my whole ''travel life'' was in this hotel. You can chose from 214124 different foods. Your gonna be amazed. I was thinking how can this hotel allow people to eat this much. You also have premium room so you can eat some casual food and drink some juice and coke. Not highest quality but hey its free so that's a big plus. You can eat some cakes and those kind of things. Room is okay. Parking is Free. GYM IS AMAZING for hotel gym. You will have bench-press and heavier weights. Not like in most hotels you have weights for grandmas. So if your in San Jose THIS hotel is a must! It's not that expensive for premium room and you will have no problems.
