10/10 Excellent
"Clean, secure, well maintained and artsy hotel that has great systems for guests. The breakfast unfortunately is very basic and not as fresh as it could be. Eggs are great though… I would highly recommend staying at this Hotel if you are in the Santa Ana neighborhood 👍"

What is there to see and do in Chinatown?
You don't have to spend big to take advantage of things to see and do in Chinatown. You can budget for the top local attractions on your list, and then make time for activities that cost little or nothing at all. Enjoy the outdoors at Central Park and Morazan Park, or hunt for bargains with some shopping at Mercado Central.
How can I get to Chinatown and get around on a budget?
Looking at these ways to get around Chinatown is a smart way to keep your trip affordable. The nearest airport is San José (SYQ-Tobías Bolaños Intl.), situated 4.7 mi (7.6 km) away. If that doesn't suit your budget, you can arrange flights in and out of San José (SJO-Juan Santamaría Intl.), which is 10 mi (16.1 km) away. Chinatown might not have many public transport options to choose from so renting a car could be an economical alternative to see the area.
