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 travel routes. We felt safe and secure in downtown Heredia and our rental car was safely parked a 1/2 block away in a secured lot. The buffet breakfast in the morning was generous and had a great variety. We rented the apartment for two night. It had two bedrooms, bath, kitchen and living room. We, at first, was hesitant about staying in the heart of the city, which was only 1 block from the church and central park, but our fears were quickly calmed by Jose. The Hotel was surprising very quiet and very little street noise penetrated into the rooms. It also had internet access and free laundry facilities. My daughter-in-law was in the process of doing some laundry in the morning, and when Jose heard that we had to wait until the dryer was finished, he insisted that we go on our sight seeing adventure and he would put away the clothes in our room. Sure enough, we came back and all the clothes were neatly folded on the bed. Now that is customer service!!

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 dryers are available as well. And the breakfast spread is unforgettable- fresh fruits galore like pineapple, papaya ,mango and watermelon prepared fresh each day! The family members, and particularly Jose Omar, are great advisors for tours and restaurants and general information from banks and grocery stores to taxis. We truly feel our Tico experience was made so much richer for having stayed at the Hotel Hojarascas, hosted by such loving and professional people.

“Good value for money but, above all warm and friendly!”

I've already been in several hotels in Heredia and Costa Rica because I usually travel to this country within the framework of an exchange of professors with the "Universidad Nacional" (UNA) and "Universitat de Girona" (Catalonia). Thus with knowledge of cause, I can affirm that this is the best hotel I've been in Costa Rica!
Clean, full breakfast with nice fresh fruits, free washing machine, free wi fi Internet, skype video conferences in any of their PC, centrally located in Heredia and a perfect base for doing other excursions and visits around and coming back at night, they pick up and deliver you at the airport free of charge (saving a lot of money!)...
Really good value for the money but above all, what's more important and what you remember as the most important characteristic of this small family hotel is the friendliness and nearly loving care of their staff. A truly great experience!!

“Great Place to Stay! Warm and friendly owners.”

We chose the Hotel & Boutique Hojarascas in Heredia based on the reviews in Tripadvisor. Heredia was a typical working Costa Rican city and the hotel is in the city center and is very close to San Jose airport. Don't be fooled by the outside of this boutique hotel because you will be pleasantly surprised once inside! The rooms are immaculate and nicely furnished and breakfasts and coffee were delicious. There are free washers and dryers for your laundry as well as free internet service. The inside of the hotel is bright, light and cheerful. The absolutely best part was the wonderful family that owns this hotel. They were the most sincerely warm, friendly and helpful people we have ever encountered at any hotel we've stayed. One rainy evening, Jose, one of the owners, drove us to a restaurant because we weren't sure how to get there. That was so very considerate of him. He always stopped what he was doing to answer any questions we had and also provide us with great information. Stay at this hotel and you will be happy for the wonderful experience! We recommend it highly and would stay here again!

“This is the best place in Heredia”

I was plesantly suprised at the quality and cleanliness of the hotel. The free breakfast and internet were also greatly appreciated. The central location was perfect and the hotel was run by some of the nicest people I have ever met!! Also the free transportation to and from the airport is incredible. This is the best deal in Heredia! This was my last stop in Costa Rica and it was really a pleasure to have stayed here!
