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.

Had a pleasant stay here at Posada el Quijote. Very friendly staff, knowledgeable and directed us to various areas all around costa rica based on our interests. The pool area has a super nice view. Breakfast was wonderful every morning. Gate is locked at night so you have to wait for gate keeper to get back in late. We tipped all the staff when we left for their amazing hospitality.

The best boutique stay in San Jose

This was one of the best boutique hotel stays I’ve ever been too! Everything was amazing - the view is incredible and it feels like you're living in a Spanish mansion. Every room is different and they even had a game room/library. I will stay here every time I visit San Jose.

It is a simple yet effective place. The front desk is extremely helpful and supportive. It is a quite place 1 km from Escazú area where you can explore. If you are looking for glam this is not your place but if your good with exploring and simplicity then it is perfect. Great job!!.
