Warm welcome from Jose and his family. Pickup was perfect after 12 hours in the air! The hotel has been beautifully designed and is light and airy. It is right in the heart of Heredia, a bustling lively safe town with a large supermarket opposite. Breakfast was lovely with the special tamales making this the perfect resting place when we...

My husband and I spent a week at Hotel Hojarascas in March and found that it truly is as wonderful as everyone says! Jose Omar is probably the nicest man I've ever met and is fabulous at his job!

My family and I stayed in this hotel in March 2012 and we had a great time there!! Rooms were very clean, breakfast (with delicious home made tamales) was awesome but the best part was definately the kindness of the owners, whose priority is to make their guests feel at home. At Hojarascas you will for sure experience the meaning... More

This is my second stay at the Hotel and even better this time. Jose Omar remembered me and took exceptional care of me and my friend. From a free pick-up at the airport to recommendations for restaurants, all was fantastic. The fruit, coffee and fresh made tamales for breakfast were a wonderful way to start the day.

We stayed here twice and loved it both times. The highlight has to be Jose, the owner, who introduces you to his brothers, cousins, sisters, and mother, who are all a part of the warm welcome and comfort of the hotel. The first time we stayed was right after Christmas, and we were treated to tamales made by the family....some... More

We started and ended our Costa Rica vacation in Heredia. Victor and his family were so welcoming and accommodating! Jose picked us up at the airport (free to International travelers). We found our room quite small but clean. Tile floors, ample light. Breakfast is included in the reasonable room rate. Coffee, fruit and often a specialty such as tamales, omelets,... More
