We also have a rooftop patio where you can enjoy the sun, a coffee or drink with friends, while you look out at the sights and mountains around San Jose

You Have To Stay Here!

Reviewed By thisismolly O

The best hotel in San Jose. The indoor garden and koi pond are a delight to sit by during their incredible complimentary breakfast of poached eggs, fruit, fresh made toast, and jam. Other items also available they will cook up for you individually for a small fee. The darling dog Violetta calmly keeps watch over the lobby and is delighted to take pets from passerbys (but is even more delighted when you bring home your leftovers). See that? I just used the word home, because it felt like home. We were stranded for 5 extra days in San Jose after the DHL plane crashed in the one tarmac available at the airport. The owner of Casa 69 took great care of us as we sorted out what we wanted to do, allowing us early check in, and easing our anxieties. He is a brilliant and delightful man, who is well traveled and probably speaks more languages than I can count, I am just guessing! Haha. The rooms were impeccable spotless and fresh, with king sized beds, large mirrors, and excellent bathrooms. The staff were so attentive and kind. There is even a great rooftop to hang out on, and little balconies outside the rooms along the way up. I would probably not only enjoy staying here but working here as well. Thank you for saving us Casa 69! We appreciate you so much and would come back in a heartbeat.

Bad sleep quality

Reviewed By rtw123

My main issue with the place is bad sleep quality. The mattress is worn-out, sagging, and you feel the springs. The Internet is of a very poor quality - you can barely make a WhatsApp audio call, forget about video chat. The good things - very clean, quiet area and close to the center.

Quiet garden guesthouse

Reviewed By davionsamuels

I was very surprised to find such a quiet peaceful garden guest house in San Jose great for a layover especially with the family and if you're trying to avoid the hustle and bustle of the busy San Jose area the rooms are very basic not very clean as the bathrooms are moldy and some of the rooms does not have a proper window the complimentary breakfast is very basic juice coffee and bread but if you are on a budget I guess it's okay for a quick stay over

Artistic & Cozy

Reviewed By Tallgirlnnj

Spent our last night in Costa Rica is a cute and cozy bed and breakfast filled with art done by the homeowner. Our hostess, Cecile, was very welcoming and sweet as she greeted us that rainy night…next morning we woke up to a beautifully set table on the outside porch …she cooked for me and my husband a typical “tiko breakast” of eggs peppers and onions along with fresh cut up fruit / yogurt and freshly homemade sourdough and multigrain bread” (bread was still warm!) It was located near many restaurants and stores; wish would had more time to spend exploring the area ….there’s always next time but definitely would recommend and go back!

Accommodation Review

Reviewed By JenC6678

Hotel Novo is in a great location, very convent for shops and bus stops. The room was big and had good air conditioning and strong WIFI. The staff were very helpful and offered a good traditional breakfast. We found the accommodation difficult to find so would recommend using 'Maps.Me'. Overall a pleasant stay.

Amabilidad y buenos detalles

Reviewed By HugoPD86

Es una excelente opción si consideras viajar a San José, Costa Rica, dentro de sus bondades exteriores, la cercanía al parque de La Sabana y al Estadio Nacional, dispone además de paradas de camiones (parada de buses) que conectan con el centro de la ciudad. En si está ubicado en una zona bonita y tranquila En cuanto al interior, mis respetos para la gente encargada del hotel, son muy amables y muy atentos a las necesidades de sus huéspedes, ofrecen amenidades como café para esperar el check in y en general brindan buena información para el andar en tus vacaciones por Costa Rica. La habitación que nos tocó, muy cómoda y grande, todo funcionando con normalidad y sin ningún contratiempo. Un detalle muy bueno para nuestro viaje, fue la confianza de poder haber guardado mis maletas dado lo temprano que llegamos, sin contratiempos sin que se perdiera nada; eso como viajero lo valoramos mucho, tener la seguridad de dejar tus maletas sin que pase nada y que puedas aprovechar tu tiempo para visitar la ciudad.

Eco Stay CR

The best hotel in Costa Rica

Reviewed By westleyroberts

The family who runs this place is so nice. They were the highlight of my entire trip. Their pancakes and wraps for breakfast were the best food I had in Costa Rica. (And they gave us the recipe. Delicious!) I am vegetarian and they went out of their way to make special food for us, not just cut up some fruit. The owners help you with any questions you have. The vibe of the place is amazing. The rooms are clean and spacious. There's a pool table and a charming backyard. If I went back to Costa Rica, the only thing I'd do is stay at Eco Stay for a week :).
