This hotel is conveniently located, close to restaurants, supermarkets and stores. Transportation is easy, also. The rooms are a bit on the smaller side but adequate for the price. Breakfast is delicious!

The hotel is extremely well located every location of interest in the downtown is walkable. The hotel is extremely clean and as on the pictures. We had breakfast included which was great, nice choice, local food options and large portions. It was perfect. Our room was rather noisy because of the work ongoing in the backstreet. As if the room is noisy if it is a problem for you. We didn’t change room. We would use it again next time

Ecaterina

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is located in a bad, unsafe area with no parking available. The staff appeared unhappy and uninterested, as if they were just there for a paycheck. The sheets were dirty, the A/C and toilet didn’t work properly, and I didn’t feel safe at all. The location is extremely noisy and chaotic, and the food was also very disappointing. Overall, a very bad hotel experience.

Comfortable but loud street noise.

The room was good and comfortable. We had a balcony but the door was sealed shut. The street noise was loud. All the employees from the desk to the restaurant to the cleaning crew were very friendly and helpful. Extremely convenient to markets.

Perfect spot to stay next to San Jose city-center. Everything is walkable from this small hotel which is half a block from the main square. Staff is very nice, helpful, English-speaking, and accommodating. Free breakfast is large and lots of choices. Room was HUGE and very clean, bathroom was very modern, and the bed was comfortable. High marks!!
