Posada el Quijote

The pool area was beautiful with a nice view, clean, and refreshing, The breakfast was made to order and delicious. We truly enjoyed just hanging out at this place. We also enjoyed all the cats--they were our pets during our stay! Fernando was very helpful with suggestions and accommodating. Our stay here was very homey feeling rather than a hotel stay.

This property is something you read about in a book. It is very quaint with a fantastic view of the city. It makes you feel like you are staying in an island villa with beautiful grounds and unique rooms. The managers at the front desk were so welcoming and willing to help us in any way they could from airport drop offs to helping us pick a place to get dinner. There are shared living rooms which is so nice to have a quiet afternoon to read/relax. The breakfast menu, which is included in your stay, is pretty extensive- the food was great! The property is also home to a few cats that were so sweet and friendly, so if you love animals, this is the place for you!

"An unforgettable stay! The property is simply incredible, with a stunning pool and breathtaking views over the city of San José. This former villa exudes a unique charm and character you can feel the moment you arrive. Breakfasts are delicious, fresh, and beautifully served each morning. Special mention to the maître d'hotel, who is not only welcoming but also exceptionally attentive and helpful. A true gem in the heart of San José — highly recommended!"

Our home in San José! For our third stay at Posada el Quijote, we were treated to a wonderful surprise — an upgrade to a stunning suite. The kids were absolutely thrilled, and we enjoyed a fantastic evening before drifting off to sleep in the most comfortable beds. The staff are attentive, the breakfasts delicious, and the gardens and views simply breathtaking. For us, there’s no doubt: Posada el Quijote is the place to stay in San José. We’re already planning our next visit, this time with our extended family!"

I really loved my stay at Posada el Quijote. It was my final night in Costa Rica before catching my flight back home and it was a brilliant place to relax and rest before the long journey. Fernando was really helpful and friendly, as was the other gentleman on reception in the evening. The pool has a brilliant view of San José, and being that bit higher up, there was a lovely breeze so it was a nice temperature for sunbathing. It was a 12 minute walk to a Fresh Market when I wanted to pop out for lunch and get supplies. The breakfast included had a range of options including gluten-free pancakes! There's a lovely dog called Perla on-site as well as seven cats. It felt like a nice homely place to stay.
