Winston and his team were amazing - they were friendly and helpful. The property was great - reasonably priced, nice breakfast, clean, colorful and located very close to Barrio Escalante - great coffee and dining options. The train ran by during the day and early evening but didn’t bother us. We stayed for 3 nights and would definitely return!

My flight was late getting in and I arrived after 10pm. The host was very nice and accomodating and got me into my room quickly. Parking was tricky but he very patiently guided me into a safe spot. There is road noise because its a city but the hotel was very quiet overall. Breakfast was great! All staff were so nice.

Excellent, comfortable boutique hotel

Casa 69 is a boutique hotel with the warm, homey feel of an Airbnb. The owner, is on site. The email communications were very good. Please note that the hotel payment must be made at the hotel in cash. When you arrive, you are warmly greeted and shown to your room. The breakfast eating area is alive with colour and artwork as well as plants and a tree growing up beyond the roof. It is a perfect setting for a relaxing breakfast. Assistance for tourists is available all day. The staff, are particularly helpful in providing suggestions. If you have difficulty climbing stairs, just ask for a room on the main floor. Breakfast consists of blended juices, warm, crusty rolls, your choice of eggs, rice and beans and amazing red papaya and sweet pineapple. The breakfast menu doesn't vary from day today and is always delicious. There is a good-sized relaxing space with couches and a variety of tour books for this country. We had an extended day of over a week and enjoyed the comfortable accommodations and service. Highly recommended! You can walk into the city and see a small park, the national library and the contemporary art museum (MADC), all of which are great tourist sites. The library had two art exhibits. Two major train stations are nearby. There is a restaurant area with many restaurants within a 10 min. Walk. Also try Sopitas for a lunch or light dinner. Please like this review.

This is a no frills property where rooms are clean, large enough but rudimentary. The common areas are nice but small and the people in charge are the real draw. Very nice and helpful. You feel like you are in someone's large home. No pool or restaurant, and only takes cash but certainly I would go back on my way to or from the area.

The hotel is quite centrally located. However, this makes it extremely noisy. The sound of traffic is deafening at night even with windows closed. If you are a light sleeper, think again. The property looks lovely when you come in, the area where you have breakfast is very nice too and the staff are so so kind. Food was delicious too. Cons: The worst part is that they only tell you they accept cash only payment on arrival. Not ideal and really inconvenient. Had to withdraw cash from an ATM nearby with a commission The rooms need some work. There were some crusty stains in inside of the bed cover and I could not bring myself to use them which made for an uncomfortable night
