    The hotel is located outside San Jose and was not particularly easy to walk around so we used taxis (which were excellent value) to get in and out of San Jose We arrived quite late at night and the manager was excellent and really helpful (he loaned us a phone charger) and we could get a couple of cold beers which is exactly what we needed. The view over San Jose from both the apartment and the pool was stunning The pool was a reasonable size and it was lovely to have a quick swim before and after our day out. Breakfasts were very nice - eggs cooked to demand. The apartment has a lovely garden. It is a really lovely place to stay. Our bedroom was very large with teas and coffees.

    The quality and size of beds may be improved.

    The concept that it is a big villa set in a big garden, with nice decoration, rest area, pool and city view.

    A lovely, relaxing place to stay.

    The swimming pool could do with a little bit of TLC, it needed a bit of a fix-up and a clean in places. But it did the job for me for a final bit of relaxation.

    I really loved my stay at Posada el Quijote. It was my final night in Costa Rica before catching my flight back home and it was a brilliant place to relax and rest before the long journey. Fernando was really helpful and friendly, as was the other gentleman on reception in the evening. The pool has a brilliant view of San José, and being that bit higher up, there was a lovely breeze so it was a nice temperature for sunbathing. It was a 12 minute walk to a Fresh Market when I wanted to pop out for lunch and get supplies. The breakfast included had a range of options including gluten-free pancakes! There's a lovely dog called Perla on-site as well as seven cats. It felt like a nice homely place to stay.

    We have zero complaints. This place is amazing, especially for the price. We only wish we could've stayed longer.

    The staff were wonderful and amenable, going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy, and they gave us really good tips on places to eat and how to get around to various museums and sites in San Jose. The hotel has the feel of a fancy house, rather than a corporate resort, which makes it feel cozy and home-like. Their pool has breathtaking views of the city and mountains. The dog and cats on site are adorable. We loved it all!

    Preferable, the garbage in the bathroom could have a lid on top of it.

    Absolutely gorgeous 😍 It is located in high place where you can enjoy the view from the swimming pool and weather. Also, breakfast was delicious, and the room was wonderful, clean, spacious, and the furniture was nice, too . I highly recommend it. 👌

    I suggest opening breakfast a bit earlier for people who have excursions arranged, as roads in San Jose are usually very congested. The later the worse.

    To sum up, the place exceeded our expectations. The apartment we were given was spacious enough for 3 people. The car was safely parked inside the compound, and the pool with hot water and the view of the city in the morning and night was a dream. Breakfast is very acceptable.

    Occasionally there was a strong sewer smell near the pool. Not enough to be a problem, just noticeable. Near a noisy road so when the door to the patio was open the traffic was loud. Once the door was closed it was fine.

    A quaint, homey alternative to large corporate hotels. Our room was spacious, the pool was the perfect temperature. Breakfast was good. Beautiful view of the city. Front desk staff was helpful and accommodating, especially regarding transportation. The bed was comfortable with sheets that felt like butter.
