It was extremely noisy outside into the early hours which did impact our ability to sleep given the thin windows.

The location was great. We enjoyed the breakfast in the restaurant and found the coffee to be decent. The bar of an evening was a nice place, though a little pricey for San Jose. The atmosphere was excellent and it was lovely to stay in a historic hotel.

Noise from the street outside late at night with cars and people gathering until the small hours. Ask for a room at the back.

Lovely old building with lots of character, if slightly faded grandeur. Spotlessly clean. Friendly and helpful reception team. Huge and very comfortable bed with good bedding.and pillows. Good bathroom with his and hers basins. Fresh water in the room every day. Efficient aircon and fan kept us cool. Breakfast was slightly lacking in choice, but the Gallo Pinto (traditional rice and beans) was very tasty and the large plate of fresh fruit very welcome.. Attractive new restaurant and bar at the back of the hotel. Good location within easy reach of Central Avenue for the museums and National Theatre.

The bathroom is quite small and washing is uncomfortable.

It looks like a museum, it is very stylish. There are only two options for breakfast, they could improve this, but it is delicious anyway.

The noise at night. I’m pretty used to sleeping in noisy environments but the noise of the casino and street below was unbelievable. Don’t underestimate the reviews like I did. The room felt tired (but clean) and not really representative with what I thought I was buying.

Handy central location, staff were super friendly and even jumped in with English when I struggled to keep up with Spanish. I felt really welcomed at both check in and check out.

We stayed in Dunn Inn for just one night following a late arrival into San Jose and before travelling to La Fortuna at lunchtime the next day. It was just what we needed. It’s a clean and charming hotel with friendly and helpful staff, who assisted us in booking a private transfer to La Fortuna at late notice. In terms of location it’s around a 10 minute walk to the centre of San Jose; and we found navigating easy due to the grid system. To note, the walk does involve a fairly steep hill so may not be doable for all travellers.

The breakfast order was misunderstood probably due to language challenges.

Noise from streets is really loud. The room was quite old and worn out.

Breakfast was good.

The loud traffic and scary noises from the Casino across the street. Glad there was a guard at the door of the hotel.

The staff were incredibly positive, beautiful and the best of people I have met at a hotel! Truly the tops!

The interior has attractive brick-lined walls with numerous paintings. A surprisingly good breakfast included in the price in a well-lit, comfortable coffee shop. All located within the historical Barrio Amon of San Jose and only a couple hundred meters from the Simon Bolivar zoo, more an animal rescue site than a traditional zoo. The hotel’s taxi service made the trip to the airport much easier.

The hotel is directly across the street from a 24 hour casino. The street was noisy and the neighborhood was unsafe after dark. No air conditioning in the hotel rooms, the windows didn't open and it did not seem safe to open our balcony door. The basement room had no windows and smelled strongly of mildew. The staff was very kind but not super informative about the area. It was not a problem for us, but there were stairs or at least one step to get to any part of the hotel.

Lovely and interesting hotel with a good restaurant attached and comfortable, clean rooms. It was convenient to have a gated parking lot to park our rental car. The shower was good and it was nice to have a fridge and a safe in the room.

If you have a street-facing room it's a bit noisy outside but you're in the middle of the city so it's to be expected!

Cute hotel in a heritage building just outside the central district of San Jose. Super friendly and helpful staff, comfortable rooms, great location. The cafe/breakfast area is beautiful and there is a fantastic restaurant attached to the hotel. Great option for a night or two in San Jose!

No lift, wasn’t that easy to move your bags around, basic facilities, no frills. Careful at night, one or two dodgy looking characters around.

Comfortable hotel, walking distance from the centre with a restaurant at the side. Close to the casino which is good for people watching. I left the safe open by mistake and nothing was touched. Thanks guys much appreciated. Breakfast fine.

Nothing, all was great!

The property is historic and authentic and is beautifully designed with stunning details like the hand-painted tiles on the floor. I noticed a group were taken into the hotel by a tour guide because the interior is so amazing. Walkable to all main San Jose attractions. Felt very safe too!

The included breakfast is basic: you have fruit and coffee that you can take alone and also included you can order eggs, bacon and bread if you want. If you want something additional like an espresso or a croissant you have to pay for it.

Staff is very gentle and polite. The bedroom is basic but clean and everything you need is there. It’s located in the nicest part of the city, with several cafe and restaurants around.

A little noisy at night but probably not the hotels fault

Classy building with great architecture

The room we had was right to the street, on the ground floor, and we had no alternative:(

The location was safe, all in lol I felt quite safe in San José, it took us (a child of four ) to walk to the city Center about 5-10min . The breakfast was good

Stayed in January 2024

We had a room without a window It was very noisy at night due to the casino over the road, working girls and police sirens The breakfast was limited and poor.

Convenient central location. Staff were very helpful. Clean.
