    I liked the fact that the facility provided breakfast and dinner daily at a reasonable price. I enjoyed the location of my private room which was about 20 ft from the pool area. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the tours that were suggested during my stay. For the price you can't beat this hostel, but it's not in the best area. Overall, I would definitely stay here again. I was a little emotional during check out today. Will be back Costa Rica Backpackers!

    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 building was beautiful and the main areas were nicely decorated in fun and hip, urban decor. It was right in the middle of a great neighborhood (Bario Escalante) where we were able to stroll the streets for great options for dinner and breakfast. We stayed upstairs in one of the rooms with bunk beds and a double bed. It was very spacious.

    This hotel location is very convenient. Very close to a lot of restaurants and attractions. Breakfast at the hotel is fair and it could be better. Dinner at the Hotel is good, they have a good menu with a lot choices. Also, their is a great Argentinian restaurant across the street from the hotel.

    Cassandra who managed the pension from guiding us around town, to checking us in, to making sure the rooms were made up nicely, to making breakfast, was a beautiful, kind soul! People always make the place, and she did. Rooms were what you would expect from a pension and probably even more for the price paid. Beautiful courtyard garden.

    Lovely hotel close to the airport, and with a free hourly shuttle. Rooms are spacious, and pool area is lovely to spend some time relaxing at the beginning / end of your holiday. Breakfast was great - lots to choose from.

    Costa Verde Inn is a little oasis in the city. Close to shops and restaurants yet away from all the noise. Very comfortable, ample parking, nice breakfast. Reception was able to accommodate a late check out which we appreciated!
