Let's be very clear here--this is not a hotel but a hostel . If we had realised this, perhaps we wouldn't have been so annoyed. Tiny room with double bed and nothing else except a shabby wardrobe--we had to ask for a chair. We also had to ask for a towel and soap for the shower opposite our room (okay... more

We just recently stayed here for 2 nights. We found hotel through Lonely Planet who is usually spot on when it comes to their description of hotels. The staff was very nice and friendly but the hotel does make itself out to be more than it is. After viewing the pictures on the hotel website, I thought it was going... more

We booked for 5 nights after reading reviews, we were after somewhere trendy to stay that is halfway between hostel and hotel to meet people, but not sacrifice comfort. Costa Rica lived up to this in some ways, but lacked in others. We booked into the "Deluxe room", their top priced category as it was the only one left with... more

Yes, the lobby is hip. Great music, great decor, great staff, great location. But the rooms leave a LOT to be desired. Our floor was dirty, the bare concrete bathroom counter looked like heck, and we got to listen to others guests all night as they came and went. We had room number 10. It was one of the loudest... more

They have the best coffee around. we stayed there twice, coming and going. great value and... more

Costa Rica is clearly trying to be a hip hotel in a hip area (Palermo). Unfortunately, it's a bit too hip for its own good. If I was someone who was out clubbing until 10am and needed a room to sleep (and that's it), I would be OK with this place. As someone who wants a bit more in their... more

We had booked our stay via email. We booked 2 rooms, Deluxe with private bath and Master with private bath for a 3 night stay. Oddly ,they require a credit card to hold the reservation, but accept cash only as payment. The part about "holding" the reservation was our main disagreement. We unfortunately had a weather delay and missed our... more

Great hotel. Location: I liked the fact that the road the hotel is on is quiet despite its proximity to the centre of palermo (5 -10 min walk), which is in my opinion the best part of BA to stay in - lots of trendy bars, restaurants and shops. Rooms: Bed is comfortable and the room is clean and simple,... more
