As others have said, this hotel is centrally located and reasonably clean. The room is basic but clean.Terrible drainage in bathroom - water goes everywhere after a shower and you're in a swamp. Whatever you do, don't leave anything on the floor! Breakfast is a bit of a joke. And, while centrally located, the street itself is all barred windows... More

On my way to Nicaragua I often stay at this hotel. Not because it's so great, but the location is perfect. Short walk to everywhere in San Jose. The rooms are reasonably clean and small but sufficient for a short stay. No luxury, but also the price is ok with about $ 50/night. What can you expect? The staff is... More

This hotel is located near the National Museum which makes it an excellent option to visit the main attractions in the city. Although the facade is not very chip, inside the rooms are very clean and the bathroom is new. Staff are very kind and helpful. Breakfast was included in the price. I would recommend it. Good quality-price.

1 star for the polite service who was even able to call our tour company for us when they were running late to pick us up. 1 star for relatively modern rooms complete with an updated bathroom and crown molding. However there were two beds crammed into a tiny room leaving minimal room to maneuver around our suitcases. Also like... More

The rooms at the Palm House Inn, were not too big but modern, very clean and had everything which was needed. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful and we could use the internet for free. As we did not have time to eat breakfast, our bus left very early, we can not give a comment about this point.

The hotel was in the best spot in town for walking around and exploring. It was right next to the National Museum and across the street was a souvenir market with great shopping. The beds were a bit of a joke. They were on wheels or something and kept moving around. But everything was clean and of good quality. The... More

Stayed two nights at the Palm House Inn for our flights in/out of San Jose. Got in late both nights and noticed the neighborhood seemed a little rough / scary (forget a night stroll for some fresh air). The rooms are very small. The bathrooms seemed to have been recently updated. However, the walls / bedspread were spotted up with... More

Our room was tiny and there was a horrible smell which we believe was coming from the drains. However as we were only booked in for two nights we decided to put up with it but on the second day we had to move as water started to pour down the wall. The second room was on the ground floor... More

Clean, centrally located hotel with good service. Rooms are too small but clean, with TV and a fan. Breakfast is simple but good and included. Area is noisy because of train which honks non-stop when passing by. But it's better than in most other locations where noise is almost unbearable...
