Olga and Fernando were so warm and welcoming. They were really helpful in recommending things to do in the area and made sure that we were comfortable. Olga even got up to see us off when we left for the airport at 3:45 AM! Fernando cooked us a delicious breakfast, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Nothing

Spacious, peaceful room with a balcony in the heart of Heredia, within walking distance of parks, the municipal market, and around the corner from Intercultura, where I was taking Spanish classes. The hosts were exceptional in every way!

The location was perfect for her to just walk around. It was in the middle of the city of Heredia and everything was in walking distance. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would rent it again.

Nothing not to like: accurate description and great value.

If you are looking for real hotel, do not make reservation. What you are booking here is a house where family is renting out rooms. They are really nice people and provide high level hospitality. The room is clean and big and definitely worse money that you pay for.

As always in a city, parking is difficult. We were provided a parking spot in the garage, which was definitely helpful, but with the traffic, it was tricky getting in and out. Fernando was there to help us each time.

If you want to be in the city, Casa Familiar la Tortuga is well-located, close to shopping, restaurants, and nightlife. The house and rooms are comfortable and the hosts are very friendly and helpful with suggestions for dinner and directions.

Bathroom could have been better by gringo standards but was still quite satisfactory.

Friendly couple’s home. great bargain accommodations. Comfortable room and bed.

it didn’t have a stove

it is placed central in heredia, perfect for two people. the bathroom is the best one i‘ve seen so far in costa rica. the apartment is nice, clean and perfect for two people. kitchen has everything BUT a stove, but that’s the only thing to criticize. staff was very friendly.

It was not apparent from this listing that this is basically a resident property, and guests effectively walk through the house to get from street to room. It really should be considered an AirBnB, not a “hotel.” This was a surprise, and somewhat awkward, but a small price to pay for excellent accommodation.

A cozy home in downtown Heredia with a warm Tico family. The room had its own balcony and indoor hammock, plus thoughtful layout and decor. The owner facilitated secure parking (at no small inconvenience to herself and her husband), and laundered/pinned up my clothes for a reasonable fee. (Which was, at that point, badly needed).

Great place! The room was spacious and had everything you needed and more (balcony, hammock). I also really enjoyed the breakfast with coffee and fruit. The place is close to everything in the Heredia area with shops and cafés right around the corner. I would definitely stay here again.

I'm used to more water pressure in the shower. It was only a minor inconvenience.

I had a wonderful experience, staying at Casa Familiar la Tortuga. I was welcomed by Fernando and Olga into their home, and made to feel like a family member. The room was clean and comfortable, with a queen size bed, a sofa, a hammock, a sunny deck, a table, and a flat screen TV with multiple cable channels. I was treated daily to hot coffee and a bowl of fresh fruit. The location is just a few blocks from the town center, with many restaurant, soda, and shopping options nearby. I look forward to staying with them again on my next visit.
