Hotels in Catedral - San José

Positiv:: Mochte nichts

Negativ:: Sie berechnen hohe Zusatzgebühren für Sachen, von denen man nicht einmal gehört hat

Positiv:: Beautiful building. Wonderful staff. Comfortable beds. We love it

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Loved the atmosphere of this hotel and in a nice area. Staff very friendly and polite. Felt lucky to find it.

Negativ:: Lighting in the room

Positiv:: Charming place, rather small with a personal touch. Very good breakfast. I didn't mind the noise from the train that passes by from early in the morning.

Positiv:: The staff at Fleur de Lys are wonderful and made our stay easy and enjoyable. The location of the hotel is convenient to so many of the main attractions in San Jose. We enjoyed walking to the National Museum and Jade Museum, which were both less than 5 minutes away, and could easily get to Avenida Central. The included breakfast was delicious and very convenient! Our room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is very charming overall and a beautiful piece of San Jose history.

Negativ:: The only less than perfect part of our experience is just part of the facts of city life and being in the middle of all the action. The train that passes close to the hotel was fairly loud from our room, but shouldn't be a deal-breaker. The staff kindly offered us earplugs which were helpful!

Positiv:: We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Fleur de Lys! The house reflects the style of earlier years and is well developed. The rooms and bathroom are clean and sufficiently spacious. The friendliness and helpfulness of the people at the reception are exemplary. We also liked the breakfast, sufficiently varied and with a smooth service. This is a hotel I will return to!

Negativ:: Not all rooms have adequate ventilation...windows!

Positiv:: Excellent location, extremely friendly service, very good breakfast!

Negativ:: For me it was perfect - nothing to nag about.

Positiv:: Gutes und frisches Fruehstueck. Sehr hilfreiches Personal

Positiv:: The breakfast looked good. The bar area was clean and aesthetic.

Positiv:: Nettes Hotel in guter Lage. Wir bekamen für unseren Aufenthalt ein Upgrade ohne Mehrkosten. Sehr freundliches Personal.

Positiv:: Es gab Begrüßungs-Drinks, der Empfang war sehr freundlich und das Frühstück reichhaltig!

Negativ:: Man hört die Straßenbahn ab 5 Uhr hupen...

Positiv:: Das Hotel ist sehr schön und gemütlich. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr, sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit! Die Dusche war richtig super. Und die Lage perfekt.

Positiv:: Friendly staff, good breakfast.

Negativ:: The hotel is located right by the train tracks so as of 4am it is impossible to sleep due to the loud noise. On the other hand, my room smelled like a wet dog.

Positiv:: Sauberes Hotel, freundliches Personal

Negativ:: Sie brauchen bessere Kissen

Positiv:: We came from uvita with Tracopa and the hotel is within walking distance (+/- 20min) It is close to city center, ideal for last souvenir shopping before heading home. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Negativ:: There was some early morning noise, I believe from the trains, but not too bad

Positiv:: friendly service，excellent location，good value！

Positiv:: Comfortable clean place right in the centre of town, yet in a quiet area. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and the price is very reasonable.

Positiv:: Staff was extremely helpful with directions & info. Breakfast gave choices of coffee, fresh pineapple & papaya, toast with meat & cheese & yogurt. More than enough for me. I don't believe rooms had a/c. We were very comfortable with fan & open window in January. Room had full bed & twin which appears to be their normal setup for travelers. I would have preferred just the double and a little more floor space. It was certainly comfortable for the 3 nights we were there. Great restaurants all within walking distance. Desk was staffed 24 hrs. Took Uber to airport with ease.

Positiv:: The shower was powerful and there was consistent hot water in the shower.

Negativ:: I requested a room with strong and stable WIFI ( I have a job teaching English online in the evenings ). When I arrived the hotel had me pay for my two night stay. I reminded the man at reception that I NEEDED strong and stable WIFI. I was put in room 104. I went out for dinner and returned to start my first session with a student who lived in Thailand. ( I live in Costa Rica and I have WIFI at my home at 25mbps ). I could not get the WIFI at the hotel to work well. I did a speed test on the WIFI in my room and it tested at 0.84mbps. That isn't even fast enough to stream Netflix, let alone sustain a conversation / teaching session over Skype! I complained to the man at reception and his smug and condescending attitude along with his wry smile and excuses that, " In Costa Rica we do not have good WIFI... and maybe you should have stayed home." This was what made me angry. If a customer / guest specifically asks for strong and stable WIFI, and the hotel staff KNOWS that the WIFI that they have is barely workable, then they should have told me up front so that I could have found a better option. They did not inform me of the weakness of their WIFI, preferring to LIE to me and take my money. I checked out the next morning and went to The Sleep Inn Hotel several blocks away and THEY had WIFI that tested at 23mbps. I feel lied to and cheated by The Palm House Hotel. If you need WIFI of any usable strength... THIS is not the right hotel for you and the hotel staff will not treat you ethically, find somewhere else.

Positiv:: The place was very quiet and clean. Walking distance to museums etc. Breakfast was basic - Fruit, toast, yogurt, tea or coffee.

Positiv:: They changed us to a better room without asking

Negativ:: The breakfast wasn't very good

Positiv:: Fantastic location, secure, comfortable bed and great shower! Light breakfast included which was a nice fresh start to the day.

Positiv:: The bed was pretty comfy, the shower was HUGE and the hotel was nice and clean. The location was fantastic and I felt safe walking to and from downtown here. The National Museum is literally right across the street and you can get to Central Avenue in a quick 5/10 minute walk. Zero complaints here!

Negativ:: You have to hunt for an outlet to be able to charge anything outside of the bathroom, but it’s not the end of the world. Just something to be aware of when you stay!

Positiv:: Ideale Lage mitten im Zentrum, gegenüber dem Jade Museum, dem Nationalmuseum, wenige Schritte zu Nationaltheater, Goldmuseum, Regierungsviertel, Parks, Einkaufsstrassen, Kathedrale. Frühstück besteht aus Früchteteller, Bananen, Toas mit Käse und Schinken sowie Konfitüre, Fruchtsaft und Kaffee- freundlich serviert. Wirklich gute Dusche!

Negativ:: Der Zug fährt ab 4:00h morgens laut hupend hinter dem Hotel vorbei, was ich als Eisenbahnfreund schätze, aber noch nicht soo früh.

Positiv:: The staff was amazing, the little outdoor seating area was very nice to have in the city. The location was amazing - just a block away from the museum and easy walking distance to the Avenue pedestrian area, and the more upscale restaurant/bar area.

Negativ:: The room smelled a little mildewy, I think it may have been due to the air conditioner? It was small and the bathrooms not very updated, but not bad. I knew the size going in, and for the price in a city, a great deal.

Positiv:: Gute Lage, saubere Zimmer, nettes Personal

Negativ:: Kein Lift, Zimmer klein und müffelt nach Abfluss, kein Fenster, nur Scheibe zum hell erleuchteten Flur, Frühstück sorgt für Zuckerschock

Positiv:: Nettes Personal, mit viel Liebe geführt, frisch zubereitetes Frühstück

Negativ:: direkt an der Hauptstrasse, was uns für ein Durchreisehotel absolut nicht störte

Positiv:: Breakfast was good and the staff were friendly

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

Positiv:: Einfache, saubere Zimmer; nettes Personal; Innenstadt fußläufig erreichbar; Supermarkt und Cafés in unmittelbarer Nähe; gutes W-Lan; uns wurde sogar ein Frühstückspaket außerhalb der Frühstückszeiten vorbereitet

Positiv:: 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.

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

Positiv:: Einzig die gleichzeitige Nähe zum Zentrum und zur Universität ist positiv zu erwähnen

Negativ:: Dies ist eine Travellerabsteige an einer Hauptverkehrsstraße, die vorgibt, ein Hotel zu sein. Die Zimmer sind sehr klein, die Bäder ebenso

Positiv:: The staff was wonderful,

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

Positiv:: Everything was great. Comfortable, home-style hotel. Good breakfast. Kind staff.

Negativ:: Construction was ongoing, but it will over eventually, right?

Positiv:: Das Zimmer war sauber und die Belegschaft sehr hilfsbereit.

Negativ:: Das Frühstück war sehr einfach: Eier, Brot , Obst, Kaffee. Das Zimmer war nicht sehr funktional und eher laut, mit dem ständig hupendem Zug zur einen Seite und eine Hauptstraße zur anderen Seite. Im Hotel selbst kann man nicht einmal ein Wasser kaufen.

Positiv:: Cozy and safe

Negativ:: Orchido garden is remodeling so I could not see it!

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

Negativ:: Parking can be tricky!I

Positiv:: Zentrale Lage und Freundlichkeit des Personals.

Negativ:: Derzeit ist eine Großbaustelle nebenan, die von morgens um 6.30 Uhr bis abends 7.30 Uhr lähmt. Der Garten wurde ebenfalls gerade umgebaut.

Positiv:: Pool, bar, happy hour, staff, beds had curtains for privacy, and it had germane dorms.

Negativ:: While close to centre it’s a long walk from the bus station to the airport.

Negativ:: nachtruhe wurde überhaupt nicht beachtet, pool war nicht sauber, früheres frühstück vorm auschecken war nicht möglich

Positiv:: Well located hostel with good quality private rooms. Decent breakfast included. Very friendly and helpful staff who managed to get my friends lost bag back and held for us whilst we were away from SJ for a couple of days

Positiv:: A lot of other travellers, even in low season

Negativ:: its got it all

Positiv:: Schlafzimmer ,die Gemeinschaftsräume und der Garten mit Pool waren sehr schön und ansprechend.

Negativ:: Der angebotene Flughafen-shuttle war teurer als ein übliches Taxi.

Positiv:: Nice property. Nice bathroom and outside area. The staff was friendly. Everyone was traveling alone.

Negativ:: The dorms had no air conditioning, and no fan, so there was a smell on the room. You should take Uber and not their airport shuttle, it’s half the price and super easy

Positiv:: Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Sie haben mir viele Tipps und Empfehlungen gegeben. Es gab ein Durcheinander bei der Buchungen, das mir betrifft und es wurde schnell gelöst. Außerdem ist die Lage ganz wunderschön. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Negativ:: Alles war super.

Positiv:: This hostel is a great laid-back place just in San Jose downtown. Build in a old house (or two) the garden is spacious, with a nice swimming pool and lots of sitting area. Perfect for when you have to spend a day in San Jose for in-between trips. We stayed in a double room with shared bathroom, room was basic but comfortable - good bed, a shelf, also a ceiling fan. Although the hostel is quite big, bathrooms were decent clean and almost always available. We were afraid it would be too much of a party place, but after 10/11pm the silence rule was really respected. The highlights for us were common areas and appliances.

Negativ:: No complains.

Positiv:: The garden

Negativ:: NA

Positiv:: The tropical pool area, the various lounges, the cleanliness, friendly staff

Negativ:: The sheets were too small and didn't stay in place and required constant adjustment, wi fi connection didn't always work, multiple wi fi connections was annoying,

Positiv:: The garden is so beautiful and nice!

Negativ:: The beds are that good but also not hard. Maybe little old.

Positiv:: Chill spot to hangout.

Negativ:: No ac in the room
