The hotel is well located, just 1 Km from downtown and near good restaurants a fast food rest. (Pizza Hut, Subway, Taco Makers, etc. ) We walk around the hotel during day time and early night without any problems. Of course taking the usual travel advised that you will take in your city.

We stayed eight nights as part of a group. The hotel has parking across the terribly busy street. Ignore the tired small lobby decor and the uncomfortable lobby furniture. All of that is changing and soon. Several floors are currently being renovated (9th, 3rd), some have been renovated (8th, 6th), and some have not been touched yet (5th). We were... More

Depending on where you are in the hotel, you can get a terrible room or a decent room. I have stayed here twice and the first time my... More

I was in Costa Rica for a week and I stayed at Hotel Centro Colon the last night in order to be closer to the airport. The kindest thing I can say is, "Ugh!". The reservation was made by travel agent friends of my sister-in-law (who is a Tica) and I can only imagine that they've never actually seen one... More
