The staff was very kind and courteous. It is a family run business as are many smaller hotels in Costa Rica. We felt safe and secure. It was a very basic room , but it was clean and comfortable. Again, the staff was the best.

The place was very clean and the hosts very friendly and helpful. For the price it was about as expected. The neighborhood is very busy, but being near the airport was good. I would probably stay here again if I was by myself.

Good for a night before flying out early. Would st

The hotel is actually really quiet - no windows helps- like an old office building turned hotel. We stayed mid week not on a weekend. No elevator - (Not a problem for us) beds are Costa Rican hard (normal Everywhere you go unless your paying for luxury) AC works - not ice cold but better than a Fan! Restaurants are walking distance and good. We would definitely stay again when we’re flying out!! They let us park right in front of the hotel.

We arrived at around 2am on an Orange taxi from the airport (about 5-10 minutes and $10us) Taxi driver did not want to wait for us to be let inside. Rang the bell twice and after 1-2 minutes staff opened the door, greeted us and showed us the room. Driver did at least wait until someone was obviously awake and coming. 5 stars for the fact that my WhatsApp messages to the hotel were answered promptly and they actually let us inside quickly upon arrival. Room itself was very basic and had no windows to the outside( just to the hallway) but had the essentials and good hot water for showering. Also seemed to be totally wheelchair accessible, and had good wifi with password posted in common areas. And the included breakfast and coffee was restaurant quality and excellent. (Gallo pinto, pan tostado, plátano frito, huevo y salchicha, café y mas ). Staff were all friendly and helpful. I booked on short notice thru expedia. Security , 24 hr front desk, communication, and price were my top priorities due to late flight arrival to SJO. I was worried about being stuck outside somewhere in the city in the middle of the night without a working cell phone and didn't want to pay big chain prices nearer the airport.Tucán delivered on security and communication and served an awesome breakfast as well.

Hole in ceiling above shower where a light used to be, had to plug it with toilet paper to feel like someone wouldn’t look in. A/C leaked, bed was not comfortable, noisy in front area. Parking is in a pay lot down the street. Breakfast was delicious.

I had no idea what to expect of this property or area. When I arrived, the staff was friendly and helpful but there was no food services at the hotel. Breakfast was a 4-5 blocks away at another hotel. The bed was comfortable but there was no fan.

The hotel itself is very nice. However, it does say that breakfast is included, and please be aware that you have to make your own breakfast, which is fine.

The bedsheets were full of hair and crumbs, for sure no one bothered to clean them. There were also tons of hair in the bathroom, alongside a multitude of bloodstains. Also the door could not be locked properly. If you don't want to contract any diseases stay clear of this filthy hellhole.
