A nice find in a good area of San Jose, only a 30 minute drive from the airport. It has a really nice vibe with lots of original art on display on every floor - a genuine boutique hotel. Decent breakfast, a Pool on the 3rd floor - nice to catch the sunset. Tea & coffee available at all times. Safe underground car park. Near to a wide variety of restaurants and shops in Santa Ana

In order to get the free tea and coffee you have to go down to the restaurant on the ground floor. There is a coffee machine in the room but you have to buy pods if you want to use it. The breakfast was only OK - hot food was overcooked and dry by the time we came down to breakfast on both days. Fruit selection only OK

The interior is exceptionally well done and you feel like you live in a museum - so much fine art is displayed on every floor. There are few very cozy places to lounge on the property - by the pool, in the hallways. Decent size gym room accommodates up to three people comfortably. Some rooms have a better layout some not that much and it makes big difference what view you will get. The room I got first was looking at cemetery and asked to move me. Thankfully the stuff was able to give me another room with view of the city and even though the layout of the room was not as good as in the first one it made a difference. The breakfast was plentiful but if stay longer it becomes boring - it's always the same. The are a lot options to dine and shop walking distance from the hotel.

The lights in the room are horrible. They use daylight bulbs that give cool white light and it feels like you are in the office. I have tried to drape the lights with something to make the lighting warmer to make the space cozier. Its so strange - to have such a beautiful lobby and common areas and to make the rooms less inviting by installing unpleasantly bright pure white lights. For the first couple of days of my stay they did not have butter at breakfast, only margarine, so to make my breakfast enjoyable I had to bring my own butter. However at some point they got rid of the margarine (who even uses it novadays?) and replaced it with butter.

Location was perfect for either the first night or the night before flying home. Comfortable, spacious rooms. Nice little swimming pool on the roof with a friendly little bar area. Loads of interesting artwork everywhere. Great check in and check out. Lovely breakfast, and they even had some coffee and pastries ready for us when we checked out at 03:30 for an early flight home. Also very reasonably priced. Great little Tex Mex / sports bar in the precinct opposite.

If you want to lie in the sun, there isn't anywhere as the pool area has a huge canopy over it providing shade. I appreciated this, but my wife and daughter wanted to catch some last-minute rays. This isn't really a complaint, more an observation.

The room was clean and large and the cost was good for 2 rooms. The hotel has interesting art work and the breakfast staff were friendly.

The front desk made a mistake on our booking and woke us up to rectify this at 10pm, after a long haul flight.. This should have been sorted out at check in, several hours earlier?! The reception should consider greeting their guests with a warmer welcome which was our experience throughout the rest of CR. There was no porter. No one to show us to our room. No welcome drink. I was surprised. The breakfast was OK and fairly average; waiting staff in the restaurant were lovely. This definitely feels like a stopover hotel from the airport and onto the rest of CR. I wanted it to be so much better!

We only had breakfast at the hotel since there's a delightful food hall next door that's definitely worth visiting. That said, the hotel's breakfast offered a nice variety of hot and cold dishes, fresh fruit, and decent coffee. The artwork throughout the hotel is fantastic. Even if you're not an art connoisseur like me, you can't help but appreciate the sheer number of pieces on display. The reception staff are lovely, and speak good English

The swimming pool is nice for a dip, not really big enough to do anything else. The gym is outdated and needs new modern equipment.

The staff have been really kind, and the hotel is absolutely gorgeous. We're here due to hospital stay at Hospital Metropolitano Lindora and this has been an oasis of calm after tremendously stressful days. Great restaurant downstairs, pool upstairs. The owner's private art collection makes the hotel it's own art gallery. I would highly recommend to anyone, especially if you are dealing with the hospital which is about 7 away minutes by Uber.

The hotel is stunning and the artwork on display is amazing. The bar and dining room are lovely; the breakfast buffet was inclusive and well presented. The pool area on the 3rd floor is lovely and very inviting, although we did not have a chance to enjoy it. Even the parking area, which is gated and secure, is beautifully landscaped and inviting. The food in the restaurant is good and there is an excellent restaurant within walking distance, as well as a cinema.

I am glad I brought my own coffee pot. I rise fairly early- 5am- and want coffee. The coffee in the lobby is delicious and available, but that requires getting presentable to go to the lobby, and the coffee maker in the room was a total mystery! Neither my roomie nor I could figure out how to work it. Also, regarding cleanliness: the room was spotless, but there was a fresh blood smear on one of the pillow cases. There were ample pillows so I just stuck it in the closet.

Large modern spacious rooms. Very comfortable mattress. Breakfast was nice.

Although the front desk was very nice, they didn't seem too familiar with culinary restaurants, besides the 3 that were near the (that includes the one in the hotel). The Concierge, Carlos Soto, was disappointing. I needed transportation to the mall when I asked him if the hotel partnered with a reputable transportation service, he told me "No" and that I would have to phone one myself. I was puzzled because I was a guest from America. How, and where, would I be able to just "phone one myself." After I looked annoyed, he decided to phone one for me, as he was doing me a favor. The Studio Boutique is a very classy hotel. It may want to coach their Concierge, on how to mirror the level of class that the hotel has.

I’ve stayed at Studio Boutique Hotel five or six times now—it’s my go-to stopover in Costa Rica, especially when heading to the Caribbean. The property is beautiful, the staff are incredibly helpful (especially when I’m traveling solo with my 3-year-old), and the included breakfast is amazing. My son loves it here too! The rooftop pool is a favorite, and though I rarely make it to the gym, it’s a great amenity. Swanky yet very child-friendly—highly recommend. Five stars!

This hotel has everything you'd need, we used it as a starting point for our journey in Costa Rica. It was approx. 30 minutes from the airport, the transport has been managed perfectly by the hotel. The staff is exceptionally kind, the room was pretty good. The breakfast there was one of the best we ever had, so many options to choose from, all fantastic! Our rented car has been delivered here free of charge, it was a perfect spot to set off.
