My daughter and I stayed here for 2 nights upon arrival in Costa Rica (April 19/20, 2013). It was a bit difficult to find but we eventually found our way there. The room was average. I was concerned about the nearby train but it seemed to stop late at night... either that or I was so tired I didn't hear... More

I stayed at Casa 69 for a total of 9 days. I was by myself in San Jose and I stayed at Casa 69 for the first 8 days and then for another day when I was about to leave. I arranged for pickup from the airport through the B&B which made it easy for me to find the place.... More

There has been a significant increase in animals around the hotel sense I stayed here before, so if your allergic to cats or timid of big dogs something to think about. Stayed here in Feb 2013, but had stayed here a couple years previously when the original owner was still here. Hotel is still nice and priced well but the... More

When we took over the Hotel, there was often a problem with mice and sometimes we would see a large cockroach. They are all around the tropics even on the sidewalks of San Jose. This required spraying regularly. If your looking for them now, you won't see them.......the cats got 'em. More

Arriving in San Jose, solo as a chick, I had my reservations, but the staff at Casa 69 was very helpful & made the trip easy & comfortable. For $25 they had a nice, large van meet me at the airport, holding a sign for Casa 69, so I wouldnt have to haggle with other taxi drivers, or deal with... More

I'm sharing few things about this hotel that really surprised me: 1. There is no clear indication around it or even on the door that it is hotel. It was very difficult to find it. 2. The person in the reception didn't talk English and need assistance. 3. They charge me for parking 10 US $ while in expedia that... More

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate hearing from our guests. Since your visit we have painted the Hotel name on the entrance door. It is quite attractive. We had ordered a large sign several months ago that would be hung on the outside wall and would make identification much easier. As with most things is CR, very little moves... More

I stayed here on my way to Puerto Viejo via Interbus the following morning. The room was just fine for the price. Bed was comfortable. No a/c needed at night, just left the window open. No problem with noise keeping me up. The only problem was their internet kept going down, but they were vigilant in getting it resolved when... More

Thank you for your review. I am happy to respond to your concerns. First I am sorry that your experience in this country was not typical. Our guests routinely enjoy their stay without incident. You were not so lucky. I do believe however that this has, understandably, given you the wrong impressions overall of Costa Rica and San Jose. You... More

Like most travelers to Costa Rica, we were only in San José for one night, but thought that this was a really lovely place and excellent value. They were prompt with e-mails prior to the trip and sent a driver to pick us up at the airport ($25 extra.) The place wasn't much from the outside, but once inside there... More
