The building had charm and character and was in a dynamic neighborhood. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast was fruit, eggs, and either a) rice with beans, plantains and tortilla or b) bacon and toast. It was freshly made to order. There was also cold cereal, coffee and fresh orange juice that were self serve. It was very easy to walk into the cultural district to the Theater, the Jade Museum, the Gold Museum, the Central Market, etc. There is a great restaurant restaurant , Silvestre across the street and a wonderful speakeasy feeling bar underneath for drinks and delicious tapas style foods. A brewpub with good beer (if their German Pilsner is on, get it!) pizza, and tacos is not far.

Ask for a quiet room. There is a loud, bright casino across the street. Our room faced it. Surprisingly, Monday night was much louder there than Saturday night! There was also a gentleman (He seemed to be a fellow guest) who smoked cigars below our window every day. I didn’t think to put the Please Make Up Room sign on the door the first morning, so that in addition to not getting fresh towels (towels don’t dry quickly in the humid clime) our waste basket didn’t get emptied. When you deposit your used toilet paper instead of flushing, the basket can take on a diaper pail aroma.

The hotel was nicely created inside out with old photos and stories to colorful artistic touches. The room was clean and had everything necessary, a little humid as in many places in Costa Rica but we also had a dehumidifier for the first time in room which was a nice touch. The personnel were exceptionally nice and helpful. Definitely worth for money!

We did not know in advance the area itself at night was not the safest, and we were recommended to move by uber. The hotel has 24h reception and security

We had the stunning Bri-Bri room suite, number 2, which was huge with wood throughout, which gave it the feel of a 19th century inn, together with a bar. Staff were very friendly and helpful with great restaurant recommendations. The bed was super king so gave us loads of room. Bathroom had two sinks. It's a quick 10 minutes walk from Central Avenue where you can find the tourist centre.

There's a casino opposite which can get noisy especially with queues of car traffic overnight. However, our bathroom provided a buffer and the hum of the air conditioning took care of the rest.

Lovely old building with lots of character, if slightly faded grandeur. Spotlessly clean. Friendly and helpful reception team. Huge and very comfortable bed with good bedding.and pillows. Good bathroom with his and hers basins. Fresh water in the room every day. Efficient aircon and fan kept us cool. Breakfast was slightly lacking in choice, but the Gallo Pinto (traditional rice and beans) was very tasty and the large plate of fresh fruit very welcome.. Attractive new restaurant and bar at the back of the hotel. Good location within easy reach of Central Avenue for the museums and National Theatre.

Noise from the street outside late at night with cars and people gathering until the small hours. Ask for a room at the back.

We stayed in Dunn Inn for just one night following a late arrival into San Jose and before travelling to La Fortuna at lunchtime the next day. It was just what we needed. It’s a clean and charming hotel with friendly and helpful staff, who assisted us in booking a private transfer to La Fortuna at late notice. In terms of location it’s around a 10 minute walk to the centre of San Jose; and we found navigating easy due to the grid system. To note, the walk does involve a fairly steep hill so may not be doable for all travellers.

The property was very nice and a charming decor. The ac in the room was cold and the shower had hot water and good water pressure. The staff were polite and helpful. We left before breakfast and they made us breakfast boxes to go. We originally checked in to a room that did not have ac and they corrected it by giving us a different room that had ac. The bed was comfortable and everything was very clean. Water was provided in the room. The restaurant on site was delicious and we didn’t have to go out at night to find a meal. I would stay here again.

Biggest shoutout to the staff of this hotel, especially Fabian at the front desk who went above and beyond corresponding with me during the reservation process, and upon our arrival. He even provided a breakfast for us on the day we took a 6am bus tour. Hotel is unique and charming and was perfect for our 2 nights’ stay. Appreciated the very early am coffee !

Would recommend better wine selection at the hotel restaurant.

Well located, walking distance to main tourist places of interest. Very clean. Adequate breakfast (choice of traditional and continental). Friendly staff. Special mention for Señor Luis who went above and beyond to make my stay a good experience. Be mindful some rooms are facing the inside of the hotel and some do not have windows at all.

Very nice hotel in an old building. One of the most attractive neighbourhoods in San Jose. Staff were very nice and helpful. Parking for a car was a plus. Breakfast was good.

It was little bit loud during sunday night. Neighbours don't really care and music was playing most of the night. I said it's in one of the nicest neighbourhoods and I still think that but it's still pretty sketchy - that's just the way it is, in my opinion

Our stay was very nice and clean, the staff are very helpful and friendly. The rooms are comfortable and a good size with clear care taken into preparing them for customers. They provided cereal and hot drinks for breakfast an hour (I think) before their main breakfast, which was excellent for us as we were getting a very early shuttle bus. They also have lovely paintings by local artists for sale downstairs!
