Delcafetalcr

San José

Situated 1.1 km from La Sabana Metropolitan Park, 1.6 km from Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica and 5.2 km from Parque Diversiones, Delcafetalcr provides accommodation located in San José. It is set 47 km from Poas National Park and features full-day security. The guest house offers a sun terrace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. It´s a cliché to speak about a "family atmosphere" in a hotel but if you get stuck there for the whole of 11 days due to the covid quarantaine and the personnel starts to treat you as a member of their own family, rebooking other guests to ensure your privacy, collecting your contaminated garbage from the doorstep, sharing their own exquisite meals and pointing out they make them "extra nutritive" because of you, that´s quite a different story. I wish every traveller not to have to experience what I have (positive test result on the day of departure...) but if for fortune´s sake you do, bless you God with getting you to a place similar to Delcafetal. Pura vida!
