This is a wonderful place to stay in San Jose, Escazu! The people are very friendly and helpful. The place is always kept clean and the pool and hot tub are great! Eunice answered all of our questions and gave great restaurant advice as well as great places to go see. We have stayed here on 3 separate occasions and it never disappoints! This last time, we had a flat tire. Two of the workers came over, used a generator to fill the tire. However we had a nail in the tire so thet emptied the van for us (it was fully loaded with luggage etc as we were leaving for another area in Costa Rica and had already checked out!). They then changed the tire for us so we could be on our way quickly! I call that service above and beyond. They directed us to a nearby Auto Pits shop where Javier, the manager immediately had the flat tire fixed and checked all the tires. This entire process took about 15 minutes at the hotel and another 15 minutes at Auto Pit! We were on our way and made our next scheduled stop. Love this place, these people and this country!

I was so lucky to find Casa De La Tias. From the communication, to the warm welcome, to the beautiful home & property, and of course the breakfast, everything was really wonderful! Mr. Xavier was so accommodating and helpful. He connected me with Sergio, who drove me wherever I needed. Thank you all for an amazing & safe stay.

Very good value

Reviewed By Monica H

Very good hotel for an executive trip. Good location very close to beautiful Avenida Escazu. There aren't many amenities in the hotel, but is is very clean, the people is very nice. The food is "Amazing", it is actually deserving of a 4-5 star hotel. The rooms are in dire need of new carpeting and some decor, but they are clean, and the bed is comfy. It is a very good option for an inexpensive hotel, clean, with very good food in a nice location.

Casa Reflejos is up on a hill above the center of San Jose. The hotel manager, Mario, is extremely helpful arranging for rides, deliveries, tours, just anything your heart desires. The pool is wonderful and the area around it very relaxing. Ad staying in apartment rather than just one room was great.

Ester's Place

Like staying at a friend's house

Reviewed By mark c

While traveling to San Jose Costa Rica for some dental implants I stayed at Ester's place on two separate occasions. It is located within a few kilometers of Cima Medical Center and many of the local medical and dental providers of the area. Staying at Ester's was more like visiting a friend than it was staying in some hotel or even an Airbnb. The rooms are large and have their own bathrooms and visitors have access to a full kitchen if they choose to prepare their own meals. The owner, Ester, was extremely helpful and accommodating, going above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable and comfortable. When I had an issue with leaving my cell phone in a local Uber she even assisted me in retrieving it. While I was apprehensive about staying at someone's home while they were still living there, I felt extremely comfortable and had plenty of privacy. The owner was very unobtrusive but available for any of your needs. I did notice that some of the travel sites tend to not have the correct availability shown and have found that it was best to contact her directly through WhatsApp. The prices were way lower than what I expected of what I would have paid in any of the local hotels having only paid $40 per night in October of this year 2021. For anyone traveling to that area for medical tourism purposes I would highly recommend staying at Ester's place

Very Nice!

Reviewed By DrewBarmakian

Very nice hotel. I don’t have to bring my good pillow when we stay here as they offer both hard and soft down (or similar) pillows. Most hotels only have those god awful thick foam pillows that feel like you’re sleeping on a rock. Beds are very comfortable. We always arrive a few hours before check in and they always get us in our room immediately.

Happy stay

Reviewed By nytraveler45

This is an inexpensive, quiet, clean and familial little hotel in the heart of Escazu. I walked to the lab for my covid test and to the Escazu Village (mall) to eat and have meetings. The owners were kind and outgoing and the room was clean. I felt safe even though i seemed to be the only guest (probably due to covid). I spent time sitting by the little pool area and it was quiet and clean. Delicious breakfast! The neighborhood is characterized by bars on windows (apparently ubiquitous in San José) but i felt safe walking around at night. Free parking. I would highly recommend this for an inexpensive alternative in Escazu.
