Good location with large clean rooms great staff.”
Hotel Colon gives you a great location for doing things in San jose.You feel safe in the hotel and if you choose a room i don't see much difference between Hotel Colon and a four star than younger more adventuresome guests.The balcony gives you a great location to watch the populus of San jose pass by.The wifi worked and so did the big flat screen TV.The room was quiet ,clean and a nice size,same with the bath.

Our favorite place in San Jose! ”
We have stayed here three times now, and absolutely love this place. We will not stay naywhere else in San Jose. No, it is not close to the airport, but it is worth it! The taxi ride is a quick one anywhay, and for a much better quality place to stay in San Jose, for a great price, this is the place. The architecture is amazing, the rooms are spotless, and the staff are so great, they are quickly becoming our friends. Whether you are a backpacker looking for a hostel, or a family looking to put everyone up (we took 8 people this last trip!) comfortabley, this is the place!

Beautiful hotel”
This was my first hostel experience as a solo traveler. It was a very nice, comfortable place to stay for the night I was in San Jose. The man working the front desk at 3:30 am (when I was waiting for my airport transportation) was very friendly. I chose the place for its location - I could walk to it from the bus stop.

Beautiful hotel with great friendly staff”
This is a phenomenal hotel with great friendly and helpful staff. Tight security made the hotel feel very safe. The room was spotless, as was the rest of the hotel. There is a nice restaurant on the first floor. The price was incredible and even included breakfast, which was always hot and delicious. Also had free wifi, which was very helpful as my phone didn't work at all in this country! The location is great, on a bus line to and from the airport in Alajuela and walking distance from downtown and El Mercado Central. I highly recommend this hotel for a great comfortable place to stay on a budget! Este es un hotel fenomenal con un personal amable y servicial. Seguridad estricta hizo que el hotel sentir muy seguro. La habitación estaba inmaculada, al igual que el resto del hotel. Hay un buen restaurante en el primer piso. El precio era increíble con desayuno incluido , que siempre estaba caliente y delicioso. También había WiFi gratis, lo cual fue muy útil ya que mi teléfono no funcionaba para nada en este país! La ubicación es conveniente, en una línea de autobús desde y hacia el aeropuerto de Alajuela, a poca distancia del centro de la ciudad y El Mercado Central. Yo recomiendo sumamente este hotel para un gran lugar cómodo para alojarse en un presupuesto!

Our Downtown Casa!”
The photo is a little deceiving considering it is missing the lamp post, utility box etc outside the building on the corner. It is also on a very busy intersection in the downtown core. (Something to be aware about if booking for a family). Our stay there, was very pleasant. For being a busy hostel it was relatively quiet, all patrons were respectful of the "quiet zone" signs near and around the dormitory. We stayed in a family dormitory that could hold 6 people. There was bedding, towels and private bathroom with 2 toilets and 2 showers. Like on all busy main roads in Costa Rica & single-paned windows accommodations one could hear the traffic as if it was right next to you. (give it a day or two and one becomes acclimatized to the sounds) However, the traffic seems to come to a halt around 9:30 p.m. and does not start up again until sunrise. The staff both at the front desk and serving food in the kitchen were very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was included with your stay and we were definitely fed well. Allowed us to start off the day just right. This is a good place to drop your bags and tour the city. There is public transportation right outside the front door and you are not very far from many attractions. As with every large city one travels to there are also many 'colourful' folk that live and transverse the downtown core, always be aware of your surroundings and you will have a great holiday!

Thank you very much for telling us about your experience, very happy that you had a good time
Pura vida!”
A cozy hotel in the center of San Jose. The room was huge and clean and we love it. The internet signal was poor, we hope they'd improve it. There are too few parking space for those who rent a car.

Great location near bus stations”
Stayed only one night enroute to Nicaragua. We arrived late and checked in relatively quickly (although there was an issue with the room key that needed attending to). Great location very close to bus stations servicing north and south routes, many within walking distance. Breakfast (included in the price we paid) was very poor, probably the worst we've had in nearly six months of travel. Good for a night, however a little overpriced so for that reason I wouldn't stay again

Great location, not great hotel”
Firstly, the hotel failed to pick-up my family and I from the airport...The two young women at the front desk had the transfer order,While the room was simple, I have never encountered a room so bare. Two paintings of jaguars. Ok, the worst part was the stink of sewage coming from the bathroom, and the cockroaches, lack of hot water, water pressure, and since this was Christmas, Christmas day was a lack-luster breakfast prepared by an unenthusiastic guy...plates with greasy thumbprints... So, while it's a hostel, and the room is for more than 2 people...my son my partner and I were not totally uncomfortable, but whew the smell..oh and no aircon...a ceiling fan that I thought was going to come down in the middle of the night and kill at least one of us. (pricing is way off!) and the hotel...clean your bathrooms in the family rooms, room 202 to be specific...also, change the lightbulbs so you can see whats going on in the rooms, so very dark. Wifi was ok, very basic, but could be cleaner, alot cleaner, and the staff should be careful to understand that foreigners speak spanish too!

Decent hotel, close to the centre”
It is a decent hotel with friendly staff; located close to the centre. Prices are alright yet breakfast was rather poor (at least one should not have any big illusions).

terrible stay, no lift, no light”
i can only say that the value for money was terrible - too expensive for what was offered. the management was very stingy with towels,light ( everything was dark, there was no way one could read in the room). the internet was so slow that i had a shower before i could continue. terrible hotel and i would not recommend it to anyone!this review must be included and don't give your readers only the good reviews as i intend to publish it
