Luz de Luna Hotel

Wonderful place to stay in San Jose! Staff are so friendly :) room was comfortable, shower was nice and hot, and the free breakfast is delicious! Not to mention it's a great value :) This is my second time visiting this hotel, and I definitely plan to come back!

Let's start from the good things: Nice fluently speaking English young employees, Safe part of the city, Hot water in the shower, Free tiny parking. Now bad side: Almost anything falls apart, sleeping on one bed you are almost on the floor. Squeaking floors.

If they would update the rooms to match the environment like the lobby and restaurant, it would help a lot. We were in the 3-bed room facing the alley. Sheets are old, torn, and stained. Mattresses are sunken in and old, they need to be refreshed. The walls are stained and paint is peeling. The cleanliness is very questionable. There was absolutely no hot water. The toilet seat fell off while I was using it, completely broken. Barely any electrical outlets in the room, not near the bed. No lamps, just harsh overhead lighting. Old, noisy fan provided for cooling. Some windows were facing ours and we heard techno music and smelled marijuana smoke blowing in at 3am, impossible to sleep. Bad, narrow parking situation. Looks really pretty from the outside and the lobby but the rooms show a complete lack of care for the property. It's sad to see the owner leaving defensive feedback on the low-scoring reviews. I can't tell if they're just rude or actually unaware of how bad it is. The bad reviews are true, at least for the room we were in. This person has not reinvested in keeping their property updated and functional.

Great little hotel in Barrio Escalante. There area lot ofgood restaurants and cafes around. Simple acco odatio ,affordable prices. Freebreakfast is very tasty.

So this place is in a safe neighbourhood. However the facilities are quite below expectations. I had no switches in my room and the bedding and bathroom did not seem very clean. I found hair in the toilet and it was not cleaned.

This was a great place to stay for what we needed. We arrived in San Jose with the plan of getting the pink bus in the morning. At first, I was surprised by the room as it gives more of a hostel feel and it is older which is the only reason I knocked it a star (beds and pillows are old). BUT, and I hope you've read on, the service and breakfast made it worth it. We got to sit in the back which has tables and drank wine with the resident cat. Even though it's a happening neighborhood, it was really nice to relax in a quiet space. The breakfast was so good and the coffee was excellent. We had a peaceful night sleep and the pink bus picked us up at the front door the next morning.

Okay location, not too far from the centro. Rooms were okay, though the TV was not working. Owner was very helpful and kind. It’s fine for a night. Also, mind the staircase as it’s dark!

The worst sleep we had in Costa Rica! The rooms are very basic, with stained curtains hanging off a rail not even attached to the wall, paint flaking off the walls, hard mattress, mould in the shower and not even a side lamp. Worst of all are the very loud trains that go past every 10 minutes starting from 04:30 running until nearly 23:00, which was the worst thing possible for our early flight the next day!
