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.

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.

No TP n bathroom. Was not there for long. Got there late after 11:00 pm and the hotel was shut down. The desk clerk did let me in and got me checked in. Was not expecting much but toilet paper in the room is a given.

Very good small local hotel in Costa Rica
Great small hotel - more like a commercial bed and breakfast. Located in a suburb of San Jose CR - Escazu in San Rafael. Very nice area. Food in the area is excellent whether at Tippico (local food) or Italian or American. Close to highway, shopping mall and local shopping.

Great (& Friendly) Value in a Great Neighborhood!
The stay was very enjoyable. This is a excellent value for the low price - located in the very high-end area of San Jose. Decent-sized swimming pool kept clean. The family that runs the Colonial are very friendly and helpful - special kudos for Kevin! Breakfast was a bit sparse - but plenty of great Costa Rican coffee!
