A few of my friends and I were visiting another friend studying abroad in Heredia. The location was great; it's right across the street from a very convenient grocery store and pharmacy. While Heredia is described as a "quiet suburb" I found a much different experience walking around the hustle and bustle of markets, shops, churches and restaurants within the... more

We began and ended our week in Costa Rica at Hotel Hojarascas I know very little spanish and was coached by the delightful proprietor Jose Omar, to say "O hor as cas". This helped me feel even more at home. We booked here based on the reviews of others and were very grateful for the level of warm service. Amid... more

We arrived in Heredia in the middle of the night and also left in the predawn, both times the staff was happy and concerned for our comfort and well being. The breakfast was beautiful and excellent. This hotel helped us with the driving in Costa Rica (car was delivered to hotel) and made our adjustment to the culture smooth. We... more

We chose this hotel based on reviews here and were not disappointed. If you seek lodging that reflects the local ambiance and are tired of impersonal chain hotels, this is the place for you. Neat as a pin and unique floor plan are just the start- it's the people who run this place that make it truly special. We left... more

If you are in Heredia, stay here, not just for the exceptional value and prime location, but for the unbelievable service. Jose and his staff/family will take care of you with grace and kindess, no matter what the circumstances. We declared him the nicest man alive even before he sent by taxi a bag we left behind on our way... more

Great place. Great service. Very clean. A little loud but what else could you expect in a city environment in Costa Rica. Would stay there again and not look anywhere else. Jose is as good as labeled in other posts. more

A very clean and sufficient euipped hotel in the center of town, though very quiet, if you can forget the bells of the church nearby in the early morning. The breakfast is unique, and the owner is the best forever. You can use the little kitchen in the breakfast room to complete your breakfast if necessary. Every morning you will... more

My husband and I traveled with our son and his wife on a 10day vacation in Costa Rica. Hotel Hojarascas was located 15min east of the International airport, making it easy to make the connection to our early morning flight. Jose was an incredible host, making us feel at home in his hotel. He gave excellent recommendations for restaurants and... more

A surprising diamond in the rough, the Hotel Hojarascas was overflowing with attention to details and special touches. Our family was delighted with our accommodations there. Owned and operated by a wonderfully warm and caring Tico family, we were immediately made to feel at home there. Not only is the hotel immaculate, but free internet service and free washers and... more
