Hotel Quinta Avenida

Just okay to crash for one night if you just want downtown location, privacy and hot shower

Fin and fairly clean. Not a neighborhood to go out in the dark. Some mattresses are ok, some quite bad. Our room was at the end of the building just by the truck stop/warehouse with quite a lot of noise and light in the night. Acceptable quality at the price.

I have traveled to almost 100 countries and this was probably my most uncomfortable stay ever. Yes, you tend to get what you pay for and it was a very cheap place. Also, it’s Central America, so not being able to go out at night is not unusual (the cab driver told me, the neighborhood was too dangerous). However, I just didn’t feel very safe in my room either. The lock on the door seemed weak, but I always put the suitcase in front of it, anyways. However, there is also a huge sliding window by the bed that leads out into the hallway which couldn’t be properly locked…I eventually decided to sleep with the lights on. Also, due to this situation and the absent safe, I had to take all my valuables and passport with me on excursions. There was a cockroach in my room and the showerhead was so full of black goo that I decided against washing my hair during my entire stay. The bed at least was clean and the ladies working there were extremely kind (even if they didn’t speak any English). There is also a small tienda across the street, where you can buy snacks at reasonable prices. Nonetheless- I would not recommend this place to solo travelers. For any others: you get what you pay for and might be better off, paying a little more.

A very nice place to stay especially for the price. Very nice and charming decor. The staff is friendly and helpful. The downside is that I couldn't get a strong Wi-Fi signal in my room and had to go to the lobby to get any work done. They need a second router for such a big place. Also, my toilet seat was broken, which made it uncomfortable to sit on. Other than those things, we really liked our stay there.

I chose this hotel because of its 24 hour service, as we came into San Jose CR on a late flight and needed late check in. The clerk was amazingly nice. She didnt speak English but we managed with Google translate. Since the parking lot was locked, she told us we could park in front of the hotel and nothing would happen to our fancy rental car- we were skeptical but she was right. The hotel is totally basic but clean. The tiny room with no windows to the outside. was fine for one night. The mattresses were clean as was the linen. However the even tinier bathroom had a terrible odor and the faucet was unsteady. Showering was not for the faint-of-hearted. There was a safe on one of the shelves. Since the doors lock is basic I wouldnt leave valuables there. There was a small shared refrigerator next to the reception, that was adequate for our needs. nFor the most part it was quiet and we awoke early to get out of San Jose before the traffic. There is no elevator but we had no problem with the clean and wide, well lit staircase.

No toiletries one towel no wash cloth or hand towel

Before I checked out I informed the manager, that the rooms stunk of mold, and that it was not necesary to have the room next to mine, vigorous, noisy cleaning at 7am, dragging furniture around. The hotel only had about 3 rooms booked. Totally unneccessary. my thinking is the client is number one. I said I would give his hotel a negative review, poor value for my money. My money has legs. good day

Walkable to city center to and tourist places. I used it as my landing spot while I learned about the city and surrounding places.

Great and friendly service
