I loved this hotel! The staff were great, the property was nice and it was a beautiful hotel. The area around the hotel became unsafe after dark. I was glad that there were security persons and video cameras. The food was good and I loved the bar, too. It's not the hotel's fault that the area is unsafe after dark.

Charming hotel converted from two former mansions. Easily accessible to downtown San José and the Avenida Central, yet away from the noise, bustle, and traffic. Very nice, helpful staff. The personalized free breakfast is excellent and includes delicious local papaya & pineapple. I requested the pickup service from SJO for $35 and was met outside of customs by my private driver. I appreciated this safe, hassle-free way to get to Hotel Dunn Inn. Dinner and drinks are available in the large, airy dining room & bar. A peaceful respite after a day exploring the capital city and its parks, markets, and museums.

The hotel itself is fine, but we booked on the basis of it having a bar and restaurant open. On both nights we were there, neither was open. The area was riddled with sexworkers on every corner after dark, attracted by the busy and loud casino across the road. Would not book again.

I believe in being honest in reviews of places we’ve stayed. So that others — presumably mostly non-Costa Ricans — will know what to expect. At the same time, I want to be fair to the renters, because of challenges they face here that they wouldn’t in the U.S. Flying into San Jose airport, we made this our one “throw-away” stay-over before heading to our ultimate destinations far beyond the city. Which is to say we sorta knew what we were getting into. No illusions. This is definitely in-town San Jose, with all the good/bad that promises. Most of which we were up for. If you’re booking here, I’ll first say, MAKE SURE you aren’t assigned a room on the ground floor! That’s what we got, randomly assigned, and was basically like a prison cell. No windows whatsoever. Which even so, we might’ve endured without complaint. Except the shower was unspeakably bad, with shower head sending streams of water anywhere but on your body. The biggest OWN GOAL in hotel-keeping! Plus, no surprise, there was just this musty smell that no amount of dehumidification could overcome (despite small dehumidifier working round the clock here). One saving grace is they do have gated parking, though you have to go most of the way around the block to get to it. But is sufficient (ie, necessary), I’ll say. The best thing the property owners do is list on Expedia, which insures a high volume of American/European visitors, who we quickly learned to team up with. Front desk and wait staff excellent

--- Wonderful Stay at Dunn Inn in San José!
My wife and I spent three delightful days at Dunn Inn in San José downtown, Costa Rica. The location was perfect, just a short walk to a lively casino and several museums. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the delicious free breakfast each morning and the meals at the on-site restaurant. Overall, we highly recommend Dunn Inn for its comfort, convenience, and excellent service.
