Fleur De Lys Hotel

Very attractive building with a lovely, historic interior. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was very good. Handy location for museums and Central Avenue. Was a bit noisy and smoke alarm kept going off but overall it was a nice place to stay.

Can be a bit noisy at night but to street noise and a nightclub in close proximity. The hotel has a nice, retro colonial feel with nice helpful staff. The breakfast is pretty good too.

We booked a twin room and it was brilliant, very clean and great price. One receptionist is absolutely lovely, very chatty, and kind. However, the other one isn’t as kind or chatty but perhaps a bad day? Nevertheless, would go back as it had everything needed

Local hotel with clean rooms and very nice and helpful staff. Maybe they lock fancy stuff of the big chains hotel but the location is great and breakfast was delicious. There are no numbers on the rooms instead names of the flowers.

Dark, worn rooms in need of upgrades, cleaning and lighting. Trains run right next to property every couple of minutes start around 5am. Staff ok but don't seem too happy. Breakfast service was good though.

I was in 3 star hotels in Costa Rica and that certainly does not correspond to the standard. The receptionist is extremely unfriendly and never works. When I arrived, she first let me wait 30 minutes and looked very annoyed that I'm there instead of apologizing. The hotel is located right next to a railway line and it is extremely loud. You can also hear every sound from the other guests. The rooms are musty and in poor condition. Breakfast consists only of Gallo Pinto, bread with marmelade and pineapple. I wouldn't even give the hotel one star.

Very unfriendly lady on the reception. They promote very nice pictures of rooms, but reality is completely different. They put us in the small cell with no windows and a bad smell of humidity. She said we have booked that, but on the booking were completely different pictures, not one like that. If we knew that it would be like this, we would never make a reservation in that place. Beds look like someone already used it. Maybe they should not iron the bedsheets or else. Only one positive thing is location.

Hotel Fleur De Lys is a really beautiful hotel to have a slow and calm pause from the hustle and bustle of San Jose. It’s not a good fit if you want a five star resort but it’s perfect if stunning historical architecture and cultural authenticity are your priorities. The common areas are comfortable and I always saw guests enjoying the front patio or upstairs sitting area. I stayed in the jacuzzi suite which I can’t recommend enough but the other more modest rooms will get the job done. You can hear the city outside which may bother some but as a city slicker I slept right through it. It’s an older building and has the quirks you can expect from one but I highly recommend this hotel.
