Unique property and common areas are gren and nice. But the two bedroom apartment we stayed needed major updates. Floors were floating, bathroom was from the 70s, low ceiling did not gelp either.

I liked the ambience created by all the greenery. The coffee is terrible, but Cafe a la Moda, a10 minute walk away, has good coffee No hot showers, maybe no big deal in a tropical climate

A really nice place to stay, with very personable and helpful staff, especially for both the economical rate, and the convenient location relative to the US Embassy (for those who have appointments or business there). It's also a short drive to a huge Multi-Plaza Mall, the CIMA Hospital, the National Stadium at La Sabana Park, and other important places. Very comfortable beds, great bathroom facilities, and nice dining area and garden, fish and turtle pond, etc. Not perfect . . . but almost :) Overall an exceptional value for a B&B.

We loved this place once we got inside. Alex the host was very friendly and helpful. It was basic, but clean and very reasonable. The garden was lovely and the breakfast was well presented and delicious. For a full made to order breakfast there is an additional charge. So good for the small price. Just try not to get there after dark.

Urban jungle
Really delightful place with good pricing and courteous service. The breakfast is served in the front cafe area similarly to a restaurant and the garden in the open air courtyard takes you out of the city mentality and gives a lovely jungle space, with the addition of a bird enclosure that lets you experience the feeling of nature as you wake to the chorus of their songs.

Case Lima B&B is a hidden gem within the city of San Jose. The tranquil environment created here is second to none. Having breakfast with waterfall sounds in the background along with the tropical plants is serene. Nelson is a phenomenal host who went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience in Costa Rica. That's not coming from an inexperienced traveler. I have been traveling for over 20 years, 5 continents, and over 10 countries with multiple visits to many. This place exceeded all my expectations and I can see how this business is thriving and will only do better in the future. My mobility scooter was damaged by the airline while coming to Costa Rica and it was a big issue, to say the least. My wife and I tried to find tools and such on our own but had no luck. After talking to Nelson about it, he took it upon himself and proceeded to fix it during our breakfast no less. During our breakfast, of the best banana pancakes we have ever had in our lives, he succeeded with the scooter. The scooter was running and he did an amazing job of securing things to make sure it didn't happen again. It was never his problem and he would have been an incredible host without doing so, but he still went out of his way for us. He saved our trip in more ways than one. We will definitely stay again and even if they were full we would visit just to see him, the amazing lobby, and to have breakfast. I would recommend 10 out of 10 to anyone.

First of all I gotta say the owner is amazing. He is very good people’s person. Breakfast was very nice, my kids enjoyed for sure. However the property needs some love. I reserved a room for my husband and kids as they traveled before me. At arrival the owner greeted them and directed them to the room. When my husband got in they all noticed a terrible humid smell and a waterfall (leak) coming down from the ceiling. Not a small leak but a running and constant dripping. The bathroom wasn’t pleasant either, my kids didn’t want to shower at all. I hope the owner can upgrade the property a bit. His customer service is amazing but the property (at least for my family) wasn’t the best

A “meh” stay
Dislikes: -breakfast was just fruit and bread/jam, nothing else -pillow cases had weird/uncomfortable beads -airport shuttle offered, however Uber is MUCH cheaper -the body wash and shampoo were pretty much empty Random comments: -it’s in a residential area, and there’s not much around; you have to walk about 20 minutes to get to a small plaza

Even better than expected
This place was better than expected! The courtyard is a nice place to hang out to do the organisation part of travel. Breakfast was simple but tasty, fresh fruit, some bread and butter and coffee. The family room was nice, gave us space, with comfortable beds. The only issue I had with the place was our shower had very little water pressure, or heat, but this appears common for the heat on demand showerhead I am commonly seeing in Costa Rica.

We did several communications with them with questions about the hotel and most of them were never answered. The room they gave us on the first floor was not air conditioned as we had asked for. The A/C room was on the second floor and one of the guests is disabled and could not climb stairs. We did love the decor, the colors and the tropical plants.

Cindy, Coral Springs

Pros: This bed and breakfast is very cute, with a "rainforest" at the center of it, complete with birds and a small waterfall and koi pond. The price per night was good, and I liked that a continental breakfast was provided daily from 7-10am. The front desk staff was also helpful and friendly. Cons: I received towels with stains on them for the first couple of days, there was no "do not disturb" or "clean my room, please" signs for my room even though other guests had them, when my room was cleaned, I didn't receive more toilet paper and ran out of it in the middle of the night (I had to go to the front desk and ask for more each time), although we had fresh baked bread for breakfast, breakfast was the same every day: bread, coffee, fruit, and juice.
