    Nice boutique hotel In the heart of San Jose

    Beautiful decorated hotel. Just a couple of blocks from the cathedral and the Teatro Nacional. Profesional and friendly staff. Spacious rooms with safe and WiFi. Highly recommended. The breakfast is good and the bar on the roof is a great place to try.
