Access to an ice machine. For medical reasons I needed ice and the restaurant provided it. But I felt awkward asking.

The authenticity of the home, the restaurant on site, the sangria, the open air concept that really gave you the sights and sounds of the city. The breeze is very comfortable.

Size Nd comfort of bed could be somewhat better.

Lovely personell, with attention for the guests. Fine that there was a restaurant. Building was one of the few mid-century building of San José: nice!

It is noisy in the morning by the location.

The hotel is cozy, with nice people.

On a busy intersection so quite noisy from cars and motorbikes

Pleasant old building, high ceilings. Staff very helpful. Nice to have restaurant adjacent. Easy access in and out at all hours.

The accommodation is perfect for the traveller who wants to travel on a budget and save money for attractions and food, given the cost of the accommodations in San José. The neighbourhood is good, with sodas, more pricey restaurants, supermarkets and cafes within a short walking distance. The hotel is located 15 -20 mins away from the city centre, and has car parks available.

Not very comfortable rooms but it serves the purpose

Very good breakfast with a good location to reach the bus stations

The room could use more ventilation. Maybe an additional fan. Plus no towel racks was awkward. Lighting at bed was awkward. Mattress was not the most comfortable. But a good value with off street parking.

Charming amazingly beautiful architecture! A real treasure. Very kind and helpful host and a restaurant/bar adjacent. Walking distance to a superb high end restaurant as well.

The shower/toilet, they were a little small and the water didn’t warm up.

The spacious room.

I switched to this hotel after a terrible experience at Hotel Gaudys. The staff was fine and the room spacious. Could have done with a fan. The room was noisy as San José wakes up at 4.30 and they have loud vehicles, but I think that's the same wherever you stay. The breakfast is US$7 for an omelette and small salad and coffee. On the whole, not great, but could have been worse.

Nothing

Excellent breakfast. Friendly staff. Great location. I was able to explore the sights of San Jose on foot.Casa Aldea was very quiet.

The building is lovely. The staff were exceptional and it was the best breakfast I had anywhere in Costa Rica. The little Italian restaurant is friendly reasonable (by Costa Rica standards) and the food is excellent. The women who work there and who make the food were kind and helpful. I had flu while there and I felt really cared for. Good mattress and lots of hot water was also much appreciated.

Both very good

The room was basic (but considering the price, no big surprise!) and the walls are paper thin. You could hear people talking on the other side of the wall. Luckily for us, everyone went to bed quickly!

The hotel was perfectly located for us as we had to catch the TicaBus very early in the morning. The staff was very welcoming, and gave us good tips for our (very short) stay. The hotel was generally very quiet.

Location - San Jose is not the most picturesque city

Breakfast was great Staff was friendly and communicative

Stayed in March 2023

The location is top, the breakfast was delicious, the staff are very friendly, the property was clean and secure + free parking. If only the mattress were a bit softer and quieter, it would have been 10/10! But we found out that in Costa Rica mattresses are often harder than those in Europe.

Like most of the places we stayed in San Jose, it was a bit noisy.

The building is beautiful. It has a colonial style. It is close to the city center. The breakfast was good. We received a downstairs room. Spacious room and bathroom. Hot water. Clean.

My room was located right next to the seating area for breakfast and near the entrance of the accommodation.

Host was great, made me feel welcome.

Breakfast was basic but excellent. Also had lunch in the restaurant, it was amazing! Highly recommend stopping for a bite here even if you are not staying. Location - on a busy road, so noisy in the morning, however we did choose for the central location to the bus and car rental Staff was wonderful

Very basic room. A bed, a table.... and that's it. Too expensive for this room

Friendly staff and good location. Breakfast included

The staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful with big smiles. The food is very tasty with quality ingredients cooked to perfection. Casa Aldea is charming, safe, quiet and comfortable.

Street noise is a little loud - bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Front door was always locked - had to get a staff member to let you in and out. Not a big deal just slightly inconvenient

Location was great. Staff was really friendly. Breakfast was excellent.
