We had a fab stay here! Arranged them to pick us up at the airport which was seamless. We arrived at the hotel quite late, around 23:30 and they were still welcoming and even upgraded our room. The pool area is lovely, just limited sun loungers. Breakfast was also great with something for everyone!

Aunque solo me quedé una noche disfruté mucho de la atención que le brindan a sus huéspedes. Atentos a detalles. Yo tuve una situación de que sin querer se me quedó un objeto de valor y estando en el aeropuerto para irme me percaté. Me puse en contacto con ellos y coordinamos un uber para que me llevara mis pertenencias y el encargado de recepción estuvo en todo momento en comunicación conmigo. 20/10! Excelente servicio !!!

Loved our quick stay - the property is beautiful with a great view of the city. Quite outside the core so it is more difficult to find anywhere within walking distance for dinner etc.

The staff and the pets were all great! There was a minor mistake with our room and it was immediately rectified, resulting in us getting a room upgrade. The breakfast options were awesome as well. From healthy to standard. Gluten-free and vegan dishes as well. We took Uber everywhere and it was very affordable. Preferred that to navigating the traffic. Driving around would have stressed us out and I mean, we're on vacation, lol. Definitely would stay here again.

It’s a nice quaint place on an off the beaten path. Breakfast is provided everyday which is a plus. I stayed for six nights and during that time the television didn’t work three days out of six. Also, we didn’t have hot water until the fourth day of our stay. Hence the four stars. Was informed during the stay that we have to request housekeeping-really don’t understand that when you are not allowed to flush toilet paper or sanitary products down the toilet. That should be automatic. Overall the staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. The beds were soft and the views from the rooms were awesome.

This place was pleasant surprise near San Jose city center. The staff is friendly and polite. The property is well maintained and spacious. The hotel offers free parking inside the premises but it’s limited. We stayed at a Deluxe room with pool/city view and it was wonderful! They offer different options for breakfast a la carte style, what we ordered was acceptable. One thing to note is that this property is full of cats, I counted like around 10 and they are everywhere. This wasn’t and issue for me or my wife but keep this in mind if you’re allergic or simply don’t like them. I do think that with a few upgrades this B&B hotel could be the perfect place because all the potential is already there. Overall we enjoyed our stay and I will definitely come back.

Comfortable, friendly stay

We stayed two nights at the start of our trip. The hotel arranged a taxi for us (Uber would probably be cheaper). Traffic was heavy so took about 50 mins or so, but it should be quicker. Hotel is quiet, and nice location on a hill. The pool and gardens are nice, plus the resident cats and dog keep you company in the grounds. Breakfast was made to order from a good set of options, and really nice. Room was good size and comfortable. Only downside, there was not much within easy walking distance. We got an Uber into the city (super easy) and a bus back (not so easy). Then ordered from Just Eat for dinner and ate out in the gardens.
