"Airport location"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
Room was very comfortable and the breakfast was very good. Lots of fresh fruit and choices of hot or cold items. The only reason I stayed here was because of the proximity to the airport and the free shuttle. But I enjoyed my one night there very much.
"Golfer"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 25, 2013
This was my 2nd time staying at the B.W. Downtown and I was there on New year's eve 2012 and also back in August. The staff is pleasant, the hotel is clean, there is free internet and international calls. There is a Gray line tour office on site and the guy who runs it is extremely helpful. He set up a day trip for me to play golf at la Iguana golf course on the coast. For the price of the rooms it can't be beat. You are only 15min from the airport. The money you save here can be better used exploring the city and country.

"Safe, Welcoming"
I was just in town overnight. It was a safe neighborhood to walk around. Close to stores, pharmacies, US Embassy (hopefully you don't need to seem them). Staff was friendly, helpful with tips and coordinating activities/transportation. I would prefer not to stay in San Jose myself but many folks there stayed there as their home base and did day trips. […] Lots of animals around. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

The hosts were extremely friendly and willing to go out of their way to satisfy.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nelson is the man!"
Great time at Casa Lima -- THE PIZZA WAS DELICIOUS -- Nelson really knows the area and makes sure you are taken care of. The resident (rescue) monkey, Don Kiko, was very cute, and the courtyard is a very relaxing/beautiful space. Felt really SAFE staying there :) two thumbs up!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Animals in Cages"
I was shocked to find that there was a single monkey in a concrete cage as part of the hotel courtyard. This is a warning to any other potential customers whom this would offend and who would not want to spend their money at such a place. In addition, there is a single large bird in a cage that is only slightly bigger than the bird himself.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Outstanding Customer Service"
Nelson and his staff went above and beyond the call of customer service by providing the safe transfer of my wife and son from the airport to the hotel......in fact, they monitored the flight, kept me advised of delays and insured the safe arrival of my family to the hotel in the early hours of the morning!!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Casa Lima in San Jose Cost Rica"

"oasis in san jose"
i was in san jose for dental work (as were many other guests) san jose is not my idea of a tourist destination, its noisy, there are bars on almost all the windows in residential areas and armed guards at most banks and stores so it was great having this quiet place to go back to. the free breakfasat was way beyond the usual free hotel breakfast and […] since i dont travel with a laptop the owner (and i think maybe standup comedian) nelson made his available anytime Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
This hotel is one of my favorite places I've ever stayed. Great service, great food, a beautiful courtyard, a fun atmosphere! Ricky was the best, and even when a passport went missing, they were there to help. Cuban-American owners. Great guys!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great atmosphere and staff at this B&B."
Casa Lima has great character and a very helpful and friendly staff. The room and private bath was just fine. The only drawback was poor water pressure in the shower and water that was just warm, not hot. Parking is on the street, so don't leave valuables in the car.Genuine Expedia guest review
I have stayed at many hotels in many different countries; from luxury, expensive ones to "just a place to sleep" ones. However, for the cost, Casa Lima in San Jose, Costa Rica can't be beat. The staff is very competent and available 24/7 for any needs you may have. A beautiful patio that adds to a pleasant atmosphere. And clean comfortable rooms. I […] recommend Casa Lima as a nice friendly place to stay to anyone traveling to Costa Rica. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"great place to stay in san jose but hard to find"
A hard place to find but worth the effort.A little misleading from looking at the entrance,but once inside it was very nice.A jungle courtyard including birds and monkey was very nice.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great overnight in the embassy neighborhood"
A very nice B&B with a exceptional small restaurant, near the American Embassy (and other embassies as well) in one of the more upscale neighborhoods surrounding San Jose. Taxi's into San Jose will run $5 - 6 each way. Airport is probably 7 miles away, and depending on the time of day, can be quite convenient to reach. Owner speaks English and Spanish, […] and the staff is very accomodating. Longer term stays are welcomed. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Staff!"
The staff were very helpful and even woke me up at 3am to make sure I caught my taxi to the airport.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice people"
The best things at Casa Lima were Emilio and Pana. They were very accomodating and really funny. The place has a beautiful garden with all kinds of animals, KIKO a monkey, a parrot, all sorts of birds and even wild aninals from the outside would come. The room was clean. Emilio arranged a scenic tour for us and the guide was so amazing in explaning […] the history of Costa Rica (a must do for people interested in this sort of history). We recommend Casa Lima.

"Great place to call home"
Staff very helpful, would recommend and will stay their when back in San Jose. Only complaint was air conditioner loud.Genuine Expedia guest review
Hôtel situé dans un quartier résidentiel familial très très calme; à l'écart du centre ville. Accès à l'autoroute aisé et relativement proche : très bien pour le trip vers l'ouest. L'accueil est chaleureux et attentionné : Nelson nous a spontanément aidé pour traiter certains petits soucis (location de voiture, retard de bagages, change de devises). Le […] cadre est typé costaricien et aide à se mettre dans l'ambiance ! Jardin intérieur foisonnant, perroquets, singe, jeu d'eau... très belle demeure. Les chambres sont plus "classiques" mais confortables. Petite déception pour le dîner. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
