The hotel does not even have a bottle of water. Ask the front desk. The front desk said that the tap water can be drunk. There is no hot water bottle. You can try it. The breakfast is very simple. There is no flower head. Anyway, foreign hotels are really expensive and not good.
Full facilities, gym printing room, restaurant is convenient. This is the second time to stay in a deluxe room, but the room does not have a balcony as mentioned in the introduction, and there are no windows that can be opened for ventilation. The lighting and ventilation are poor, and the lighting is average.
It is a truly special place. But it is not a 5 star as claimed, its just a 4 star and just for minor things that cheapen the experience. One thing that irked me is that they have a coffee machine in the room but one has to go downstairs and buy pods for $1.50 each. This is cheap, small TV, channel guide is not accurate or changed. Having a price list for said breakfast items as simple as oatmeal is also ludicrous and takes away from what should be exceptional for 5 stars
the ambiance is wonderful as you feel as if you are staying in an art museum. Will stay again but do not expect a 5 star hotel. exceptional for
The hotel is located in the city center, very easy to find, and it takes less than 10 minutes to take a taxi to China Street. Hotel facilities are also relatively new, it is worth mentioning that the scenery outside the window is very good!
The downside is that there are fewer types of breakfast and the WiFi speed is average.
During the three nights I stayed, I changed rooms in the next two nights, but found that the sound insulation of the rooms in the next two nights was relatively poor, and the bed sheets also had red blood-like stains. Other services are great, breakfast/gym/swimming pool, etc.

It was a satisfactory stay. The room and rooftop view are great.
We were traveling with a rental car, so it was very helpful that the parking lot was free.
The room was fashionable and very clean overall. It may be even better to add a kettle to kitchen utensils.
Of the 2 rooms I booked, 1 there was a cigarette smell when I entered the room, but when I contacted him, he offered me a replacement room.
I recommend it. Thank you very much.
The hotel is more than 20 minutes away from the airport, with a garden-like pattern, more flowers and grass, good air, and lots of parking spaces. The house is a two-story building, separated one by one. The room is a family of 2 rooms and 2 halls, with outdated facilities. Although there are refrigerators and cabinets, it is not necessary for people staying in the hotel. The most important toilets are small, the shower heads are poor, and the hot water is not hot, so people ask for repairs. It may be that locals are used to showering with warm water. There is very little variety for breakfast and average for dinner. The overall evaluation was embroidered pillows, which were not useful. Poor check in experience!

TTessa_assetUndiscovered gem of a hotel near San Pedro.
Pros: We were looking for a place on the lower end of the price spectrum that was a one night romantic getaway for two, that I could also use my free trip coins at toward the cost of the room. Preferably including breakfast and a swimming pool with jacuzzi 😉 Not much to ask!
We booked one of the cheaper rooms on the ground floor.
Before check in we took an Uber to San Pedro mall to do some essential shopping and see a movie. Then we checked in and I relaxed in the jacuzzi under the San José night sky while my husband enjoyed a full workout in the gym/weights room. TV with cable was great for my husband who enjoyed the football while I enjoyed the hot shower and relaxed in the bed afterwards. We had an amazingly comfortable sleep and a delicious breakfast in the morning of gallo pinto, fresh tropical fruits, freshly squeezed watermelon juice and hot coffee. A generous check out time of 12pm meant we had more than enough time to get our things together and leave when it suited.
Cons: Not many cons at this price point and value. The guy at the desk was a bit weird when we asked him for a second glass for water as there was only one in the room but not a big deal. We also had to ask him for the TV remote. The towels were a bit small like a mini dress on me after my shower. But good quality (with a third extra towel for the jacuzzi) and high quality bed linen. It also is in a slightly rough looking neighborhood but this is not a problem if you travel to and from the hotel by Uber or use a hire car (which you can park privately inside the property).
Overall impression: The other photos on trip.com and similar booking sites do not do this hotel justice - it looks far better in person. It has real character since it is a restored historic hotel from an era bygone, but that is why everything is such high quality from the bed linen to the floor tiles. Everything is also in good shape and freshly painted. There a little hidden nooks around the hotel that make it very charming. The breakfast area is lovely and the jacuzzi, pool and water slide were a real highlight. We WILL be back.

GGuest UserMy wife and I stayed here a few nights both at the beginning and end of our three-week trip to Costa Rica. The location is attractive as it is very easy to get to the city center, and very near the newly completed ring road which goes all around the city. This is a big plus, since the traffic in San Jose (and Costa Rica in general) can be truly horrendous. We would have liked to have laundry services, which are only available by appointment at certain times and days. Breakfast was simple but good. The staff were mostly friendly and helpful.
Iisa.mendezThe exteriors and the pool are nice but the rooms are very old and the smell was very bad inside, i think maybe because the carpet looks also old and dirty. I had to change from the first room because of that and the second one wasn't much better. The breakfast is buffet but very basic with a few options so i just got it one day. The a/c very old and noisy during the night.

JJJin87The hotel is a lot smaller than the pictures. The room is also small but has great shower and comfortable beds. There is no free parking, the reception will provide a voucher and you need to pay $7 to park next door. The hotel location is awesome, you can walk to most of the attractions. Breakfast buffet is great.
GGuest UserI was happy to find an AirBnB close to the Terminal Bus and to have a 27/7 service, because due to my flight; I was able to do the check-in at 1:30 am
I will note this Hotel for my next trip to Costa Rica.
Thanks to Trip.com & Milan Hotel.

GGuest UserVery satisfied with this hotel, all aspects are good, breakfast variety is rich and delicious, bedding is comfortable and soft, room is clean, toiletries are of good quality, it has its own parking lot, and the staff attitude is very good👍
GGuest UserTwo buildings across the street from the north. The bed room in the north is mainly close to the rails, which is relatively noisy, but the room, bathroom and public space are relatively spacious and tall. Coffee is served all day, and the kitchen of the cooperative youth hostel next door can also be used. The room lacks tables, chairs and hangers.
Good location, walking distance to downtown attractions, supermarkets and a mall.
