This place is amazing. There are so many beautiful art pieces it's like being in a museum. Comfy and clean, great staff. I would stay again !
Coffee and food were fine, good free breakfast. No complaints at all

Stayed here on our last night in Costa Rica since the hotel was 25 minutes from the airport. Rooms were very nice and clean. The rooftop pool wasn't heated so it was too cold to swim. The breakfast was mediocre at best, some items terribly undercooked and close to inedible. There are several restaurants within walking distance. Check in was quick, booked on Expedia.

Place was beautiful and the staff was very friendly. This hotel was kind of like walking into an art museum. It was perfect for our week stay in Costa Rica and it was in the middle of everywhere we traveled.

Had a very good stay here. The staff were really friendly and helpful, the rooms were spacious and nice. All of the hotel is covered in art and has a great feel about it. Breakfast was very good as well, a lot of good fresh fruit, rice and beans etc but also some western options. The only negative thing is that walls are quite thin, did not impact our stay though.

Very nice installations and very nice staff. The pricing was amazing and it was close to everywhere we went. The rooms are big and very comfortable. The pillows were puffy and the sheets clean.

The staff and faculties were excellent. The rooms and grounds were clean and well maintained. However the rooms could use some additional sound proofing. Our room was next to the pool and conversations at normal speaking volume were easily heard, and guests walking in the hallway sounded like they were walking through the room. Overall our stay was enjoyable and the breakfast included was fresh and we'll prepared.

Fantastic boutique hotel, conveniently located across from excellent shopping area w great restaurants. The 'meeting tree' out front is unbelievable, and the terrace/pool area on the roof provides a great view. The artwork throughout the bldg adds a very nice touch of sophistication.

In the lobby there are a lot of nude portraits. This time I didn't bring my kids but I can't imagine the mountain of questions after. To me is ok but I don't think is kids appropriate.
Other than that the place is fantastic.

if your reading this review book the hotel. We just checked in and have to say. We were very impressed with both hotel and staff. The pool deck is also amazing. Fully stocked grocery store ( fresh market ) 2 minuets walking.
We will return to this gem of a hotel next time we’re visiting the neighbourhood.

This find was an awesome accident. The exterior was so cool, with a huge old tree and courtyard. Then the interior is covered top to bottom with original art. So cool. The rooftop had a pretty great viewand a pool, and more great art. Just awesome. Our room was also very nice, the service was great, and the continental breakfast was the best either of us have EVER had. All for a very reasonable rate, and close to the airport.

Loved staying at this boutique hotel. Good friendly staff, comfortable modern rooms and amenities, underground secure parking, amazing free buffet breakfast. They even prepared a to go bag for us as we were leaving early to catch our flight. I will definitely stay here again.

This is a wonderful boutique hotel, with an amazing art collection. It's only a mile from our home/office, and we use this as default for visitors and clients needing to visit with us.

We would have given this place 5 stars for its perfection; however, on the second night, someone used a card to enter my wife and I's room at 10pm without knocking or anything. We yelled "hey someone's in here!" and they left. I went to the front desk to try to get an explanation but was only able to find out it was one of their employees who apologized for it.
Regardless, the hotel was clean, modern and spacious. Had air conditioning and a fridge in the spacious room. The bathroom was also spacious and modern.
Just a little bothered by the experience and what it implied about their professionalism, consideration and security. I think 4 stars is generous given the circumstances.

Great little boutique hotel with a lot of beautiful art. I also left my prescription glasses in the nightstand and they were able to locate them and hold them for me until I returned to town four days later. Wonderful staff.

Nice hotel especially considering affordability. The pillows were tough and the pool on the top level didn't seem to be filtered it had a lot of leaves and bugs in it

This hotel is fantastic! We had a massive bed thar was incredibly comfortable. The hotel staff was very friendly and eager to help us out. There are tons of eating options reasonably close by as well. Included breakfast was the best we've had at any hotel we've stayed at and includrd made in front of you tortillas!! If we ever require another hotel in San Jose, the studio will be our first choice.

Issues with service, and room odor. Nice facilities otherwise.

Easy to see why the average reviews are good: this is a nice modern hotel, with nice amenities. Lots of wall art. Clean looking rooms. Good pool and exercise room. Great breakfast. Selena was particularly helpful and friendly at breakfast, and came across as someone who truly cared about the guests as if she owned the hotel. Person that helped with our luggage was also nice and helpful, despite the fact that he knew he wasn't going to get tipped (see below). Good value.

We however did not have a great experience (probably we were unlucky given the reviews):

We had the most unfriendly check-in staff we have ever had a hotel. Felt more like a customs agent (i.e. "passport please", without looking up). I had no change for a tip for the bellhop, and she claimed not to have any change. She was rude when denying us a second key. If people had badges with names it would be easier to report them here and get the bad apples replaced. Kind of set the wrong tone.

Our bathroom sink had a mild sewer smell. We stayed only one night, so it was survivable. We just plugged the sink.

$150 deposit charge for incidentals was a bit offputting given that we were staying for 1 night and spent well below this for the room. We were refunded on check-out I think.

Lastly, this place is not that convenient to the airport. The distance as the crow flies listed in websites like Expedia is misleading. The drive to the airport is 25Km (or about 30 minutes in moderate traffic). I picked this place because it was just one night and close to the airport (plus the good ratings) that was a mistake on my part.

There a number of reasonable dinner options close by, some walking distance.
