“Hotel Colaye”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

I stayed here on the recommendation of my dentist here in San Jose. Location was the main reason for staying here and I walked everywhere. Did not need a car. Taxi just a phonecall away. Breakfast is included daily. Breakfast consisted of fruit, breads and rolls, eggs, rice and beans, meats and coffee, tea, juice. Staff go above and beyond in accommodating my needs. Being a solo traveler it was good to feel safe and secure. I didnt use the pool because the weather was a cool 70 degrees, but the pool was beautiful, surrounded by potted palms. The room was basic, a small television, large king sized bed, bathroom with a large shower that put out an endless supply of hot water with good force. Air conditioning not needed here and there was a large ceiling fan for air circulation. There is a safe in the room. Daily housekeeping. Walking distance to Sabana Park. Pharmacy across the street. Fernando made arrangements for a shared van from this hotel to another hotel in Parrita, Puntarenas where I will be staying for 6 days. I plan to come back to this hotel on December 5 and fly back home to the cold Michigan winter on December 6. Late checkout was no problem as my ride to Puntarenas would not arrive until 240 pm even though checkout is at noon. I saw no small children here, but there were a couple of teenagers with their families. Neighborhood is mostly business, however, residential area only a block away. Relatively quiet. Hotel is about a 30 minute drive from the airport (San Jose Santamaria) unless you are in rush hour traffic, then its a little longer.

Room Tip: No preference of rooms. Seems quiet no matter where you are, unless it rains. Then it is noisy, but...

“clean rooms, friendly staff, quite neighborhood”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

we liked our visit. the staff are very friendly. the room was nice. swimming pool was pretty (didn't have time to swim). and they offered breakfast (but we had to leave really early so we didn't get to try). the neighborhood was quiet and we were able to take a five minute taxi ride to downtown. I would recommend this place. it suited our needs just fine

“Plain but clean and polite”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

Due to a stolen passport, I stayed here for 4 nights rather than the one night I planned. Rooms are basic but large and are kept clean and serviced daily. Hotel pool is nice, and receptionists very helpful, in particular Fernando, Karla and Gerald - all speak good English and were extremely pleasant to me. Breakfast is basic and the same every day, and I found the restaurant staff a little dismissive. Don't eat here in the evenings. Drinks are way too expensive, and 5 mins around the corner is Mac's American Bar where you can get a decent meal for not a lot of money.

Room Tip: Go for one of the re-furbished rooms in the main building and not in the annexe out back

“Would never be back.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

From outside it looks good. The common areas are OK too. But once you are in your room, it seems you are in a modest "motel", in an empty room. Wifi doesn't work in the rooms, and in the common areas it works and leaves and comes back... The receptionist wasn't concerned at all when I asked her if she could help me with Internet service "it will come back very soon". (I made the booking through an internet site but first called the hotel and they guaranteed they had a good Wifi/Internet service in the rooms). Service is NOT a priority for the staff here. Seems there is no manager onsite... I hate motels, but some are well run at least. This one was not. Was supposed to stay two nights and left the next day to Luisiana in Santa Ana, which I can only recommend. Do yourself a favor, do NOT stay at Colaye.

“a good place to accommodate”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 28, 2012

After landing in Costa Rica (san jose) this is a good place to spend your first night. You can sleep well and enjoy the swimming pool. For breakfast I would recommend that you go so where in the city but for just a fast bite it`s good enough.

Staff is friendly and fluent in English, place is clean!

We had a room without air condition but with a big fan.

Room Tip: ask for a room at the back of the hotel
