Top Hotels Near University of Costa Rica in San José from AU$45

"The condo was clean but smelled of disinfectant. The smell was so unpleasant that I had to keep the window open all the time. Although the window stayed open for the entire time, the smell remained. As soon as I stepped into this condo, I called the BEE management and asked for a different condo, but the person in charge claimed this could not be provided and refused to reimburse me. Since the rate was not refundable, I had to spend two nights in this condo. There were many problems: 1) The wardrobe: The broom, cleaning pot, and cleaning stuff were in the wardrobe where you were supposed to hang the coats. The second wardrobe could not be used because the rod was too high up. 2) The towels were of a cheap material and did not smell nicely. It was not pleasant to use them. 3) There was no hair dryer. 4) The owner left coffee but no coffee filter. So, I could not make coffee. 5) There was no sponge to clean dishes, no kitchen towel. In short. 6) The price: Another guest whom I met in the building paid half the price for a similar condo on a lower floor. 7) Misinformation: On the website, the owner claimed that the condo is on the top floor. It was on a high floor (10) but certainly not the top floor. 8) There was no café or restaurant in the immediate vicinity. 9) View: Across from the building, there is an ugly construction site. In short, my experience was negative. I do not recommend renting this condo."

"This was a very nice, clean, and quaint place. If you ate going to be around the University of Costa Rica and lots of bars and clubs not far away, this is a good choice."

"Clean, spacious, close to bakery and markets. "

"Great place to stay, we had everything we needed. Host was very responsive and helpful."

"Christian is an amazing host. Love the security in the building. Apartment on the 16th floor with amazing view. This is in the center of the city so lots of restaurants within walking distance. Would recommend!"

"All good"

"Ovarall a great experience."

"The Internet was good. Location also. Jennifer was quick to respond to questions. Spacious. Good air circulation. A fan or two would have been helpful along with reading lamps, but we were quite content. "

"We made a pay-at-the-property reservation and provided the company card only as a guarantee. However, the property charged the full amount to the guarantee card, and when the guest arrived, they were told the stay was already paid for. The property should respect the reservation terms, because if we had wanted to prepay, we would have done so—as we have on many other occasions."
