Everything about this place is truly stunning. The views are spectacular, staff is exceptional, and the rooms were absolutely beautiful. They all went out of their way to make sure that our trip was fabulous, and it truly was. I cannot think of a single complaint and all I can say is they did a wonderful job of making our... More

Stayed 5 nights unintentionally because I hurt my back and had to abandon my tour until I got a return flight home. But I enjoyed it. Charming building and vast bedrooms, spotlessly clean. All the staff are great. No restaurant but they will do breakfast - scrambled eggs/omelettes + usual cereals/juices/coffee. Booze wise they sell beer or wine by the... More

We loved the Kekoldi Hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, and they spoke English which was a huge help for my family! We stayed as a family of four and had plenty of room for the kids to play in the room too. The location is perfect, just a short walk away to the sights of San Jose. More

Hotel seemed to be under new management and is doing its best to fix itself up. Having arranged through them, we chatted with an owner & an employee about what ended up a sketchy airport taxi pickup. Instead of our names on a sign, a random/unprofessional appearing man showed me my name on a cell text instructing us to wait... More

This was a nice hotel in the centre of town, walking distance to most of the interesting areas. The staff were great at offering advice, and the afternoon coffee and breakfast were both tasty. More

We have stayed a few days in this hotel betweem our trips around Costa Rica. You often need to come back to San Jose to go somewhere else. We have even left our lugage in the hotel for some days without any trouble. This is very good value compared to some other hotel we have been in Costa Rica. More

I booked this nice little oasis twice while in CR. Both times I found the staff to be kind, nurturing and very welcoming. As my first experience in Costa Rica I am glad I stayed here, Nice little garden and breakfast. I would definitely stay here again. More

We recently had the opportunity to stay 4 nights at Hotel Kekoldi. It's a wonderful place, nothing pretentious, just a clean, comfortable hotel in which to spend a few nights while enjoying the sights of "downtown" San Jose. The hotel is very well located, the staff is helpful and speak English, a real plus since I am an ugle American... More
