My stay was more like being around family and friends than in a strange hotel. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. They helped book side excursions, recommended place to go and also, where not to go. The bar and resturant are now open! What wonderful addition! We had dinner; the food was great ! The Chef Victor, even came... more

My wife and I have been visiting San Jose for quite a few years now and this is definitely our favorite hotel in San Jose. Much better value than anything like the Presidente, and nicer surroundings too. Hotel is very clean and stylishly decorated, very comfortable beds, and very friendly staff. Great hot breakfasts only add to the appeal of... more

Based on prior review on Trip Advisor, we had great expectations for this hotel which were not realized. The place is okay, but there is nothing special about this hotel that appealed to us. We stayed separate nights between different tours. more

Well, the jacuzzi didn't have hot water, and... more

I stayed here for five days and I have to say that all the good reviews here are extremely accurate. This hotel is almost perfect! The building is an architectural piece of art, everything seems to be cared for in the details, the room, I had a penthouse suite, is spacious and comfortable, everything is new and well kept. The... more

Ive stayed at the hotel a few times . I felt very comfortable in a country that I was not familiar with. The sleeping accomodations were excellent and I felt like I was in a five star hotel. However, the absolute reason I like the Amistad is the staff, in particular Mr Carlos Rodriquez. He always went the extra mile... more
