Staff was friendly and helpful. They advertise parking for $10 but that place was closed. I had to go about a block away and it cost $22. No toilet paper in the bathroom. Really? There’s a Main Street in front of the hotel with traffic all night long. Super noisy.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The place is very comfortable. and it is located near the Transnational TicaBus. That was the main reason we decided to book at Del Cafetal CR. But we found the rooms are very comfy and they have a kitchen you can use. So you can store and heat any food you may have bought earlier or later on your arrival. Also, there not so much traffic near the hostel so you do not have to worry about it. The only thing they do not have a parking lot. You have to buy parking in the Public Parking Lots of the city. BTW, they are very expensive. So, if you do not want to pay for parking lots please look for a place that offers free parking.
