We stayed only the night whilst passing through San Jose but you cannot beat the location for walking distance and access to everything. The rooms are spacious and very clean. The beds are comfortable and we had one of the best nights sleeps in a long time. It's true you do hear the noise from outside early in the morning,... More

A group of 15 of us went to San Jose to see the Nutcracker Ballet and spent the night at this little known gem of a place. It was clean, had a great homy atmosphere and the employees were helpful.We all live in Costa Rica but do not spend much time in San Jose. This was a very pleasant surprise.... More

Pro: Location- very centrally located, 2 blocks from National Theatre. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe in this location. Breakfast: Best gallo pinto! Free computer/internet use in the patio. The owner: Alfi is a very interesting and nice person. He offered me a free upgrade, which I should have taken but I was too lazy to move... More

The floor had sticky spots on it, in more than one place, the sheets didn't fit the bed, it was loud in the room, the neighborhood was sketchy and there was a broken window pane in the bathroom. The room was really beat up. We did get our 3am wake up call, the staff was nice and it was close... More

Casa Alfi is comfortable and right for my budget. It is conveniently located in the heart of San Jose. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Breakfast is included. Access to the Internet is free, but is a little slow. It works and it is available. That's important to me as I need to check my flight status and email.... More
