It’s in a good location for my need to arrive and leave San Jose by bus to Guanacaste. The district is also in walking distance to the city center. The Staff was friendly and efficient, especially in the morning since I needed a fast breakfast to catch the bus.

Good budget hotel. The room was big, the shower was hot. Breakfast was included and there was a choice. The hotel is next to the bus stations so good location if you have an early/late bus. Lots of places to eat around.
