Great staff and excellent breakfast my only complaint was the toilet seat had a broken pin that held the seat together and they claimed i broke it even though i didn't and they charged me 20 us dollars to have it fixed but never fixed it..so it stayed broken for the rest of my stay.

Great budget place to stay
Great budget hotel in a really good location, easy walking distance to Avenida Escazu mall. The owner is lovely, and The free breakfast in the morning was great. Coffee, orange juice, fruit, and a choice of eggs or pancakes. The pancakes were excellent. Great shower. Bed comfy but slightly firmer than I like. The only negative was that the AC was a bit noisy. When I’m back in San Jose, I would definitely stay here again.

Mi habitación era pequeña, sin aire acondicionado (había un ventilador) ni refrigerador; pero las atenciones de Lucrecia y Vicente, el ambiente familiar, la limpieza y la exquisitez del desayuno me hicieron sentir como en casa. Por eso mi valoración general es EXCELENTE.

Hotel portal colonial Is an excellent B&B at a reasonable price. It is very clean and in an excellent neighborhood. It is only a few blocks from fast food restaurants and some reasonably nice restaurants. Just in case you forgot anything with your trip it’s only a few blocks from Walmart and a nice mall. Lucrecia and her staff are extremely helpful with Anything you need, from getting you day trips around the area to Getting your laundry done or most anything else you need. They are always smiling and happy. You couldn’t ask for a better place or better people.

Good value for the price - not fancy.
Staff was very helpful and the room and common areas are clean. Curtains could be replaced with blackouts and ceiling could replace the floor fan which much too powerful for the size of this small room. No protector on the mattress or on the pillow.

Great stay! Would recommend to anyone
I had an absolutely fantastic stay at Hotel Portal Colonial. Great location in Escazu, which is a really nice neighbourhood and still only a few minutes from centro SJ. Rooms were spacious and clean, and in overall it was a very comfortable feeling in the hotel. The staff were amazing. They made for a super comfortable stay, and made you feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
