Bed isn't very good, but I always travel with a rolled up foam mattress topper anyway and it's fine with that. But otherwise the place is amazing. Charming, quiet, in a cool neighborhood that's close to the main downtown attractions. Great, quiet restaurant on site. Best food I've had in San Jose. And the price for the room can't be beat.
We lucked out finding this little gem. The front desk staff were friendly, and helped us with our bags to and from the car/parking lot. Room was quiet and clean. The breakfast included coffee, eggs, bacon and toast. Very cool boutique hotel.
I spent one night by myself at Hotel Dunn Inn and was very pleased with the accommodations. It was very comfortable and clean. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. I will definitely stay there again when I go back to Costa Rica. Pura Vida!
About a five minute walk from the center of town, this place was perfect for me. My room had a nice little balcony overlooking a quiet street. A wonderfully appointed bar and restaurant was perfect for a nice evening cocktail or full-on meal.
Do not stay in room #27. It is very old and smelly. It had two windows facing the street. It is easy for people to climp in fr ok m the street. We requested to change the room. The inside and upstair rooms are must nicer. Overall, it is two or three star hotel. You can ask much for it. Our tour is including this hotel in our packsge.
We (a family of three) spent our first and last nights in this charming , modestly appointed, period hotel in the historic quarter of Barrio Amon. The rooms have a strong period feel to them but do vary in size and amenities. A very basic breakfast for those on the B&B package is provided by a cafe, not part of the hotel but attached to it. No other meals are provided. The staff are lovely and very helpful. The hotel is a 20-minute walk to the National Theatre area of town. Plenty of decent restaurants for dinner can be found within easy walking distance. Overall, no complaints.
A few nights were spent at this quirky but sweet older hotel to begin and end a GAdventures tour in April 2019. Considering that its name (as in “done in!”) seemed a forewarning about the accommodations, I was delighted to find that the Dunn Inn far-surpassed my expectations. My room was recently renovated, comfortable and clean – its only drawback being the view of the outside opposite wall, a small matter. A good selection of cable stations are available and a computer sits downstairs for the guests’ convenience. I didn’t use the lounge by the front desk but enjoyed meals in the bar/dining area, next door. This area is open, bright and cute actually, with playful bird motifs adorning the wallpaper and furniture. I found the breakfasts tended to be simple and plain, and coffee arrives in a rustic tin cup. However, dinners were ample and very good and, I thought, better value. Prices are competitive, in general. Our bartender doubled as head waiter and was professional and courteous, as were other staff members. Some travellers believe that Ticos appear to be aloof but, even if that is the case elsewhere, the staff at the Dunn Inn was always personable and conversant. (I was especially pleased that I was remembered after a two and a half-week absence, and treated like a friend). One evening when I struggled to call home, via the hotel, desk staff was especially helpful (I’m a dinosaur when it comes to using devices). The Dunn Inn is situated in an older section of San José but within a short walk to attractions, bakeries, restaurants, and shopping. I was warned to not go sight-seeing alone, either early in the morning or after dark but went out without incident during all daylight hours, ..I was later told by others that evenings are for the ‘adventurous’. If I travel again to San José, I will definitely return to this hotel with its lovely staff. TIP: Unless your digestive system is made of cast iron, don’t order the ‘salsa picante’ in the restaurant – it’s the hottest thing I’ve ever eaten (and briefest)!!…
Situated in a nice area of town. Very nice building. Lovely friendly staff. Very accommodating. I arrived with a mobility scooter and was shown to the most accessible room behind reception. Chair lift by door may not work as a member of staff always carried it in/out (4/5 steps I think)
We spent one night at this hotel before coming back to Europe. The patio and the structure is very attractive and remember some colonial palaces. The rooms are not beautiful as the palace but they are not bad.
We stayed here at the beginning and end of a 16-day G-Adventure including a day early. Reception helped us settle in and find places to go, and can get you a reasonable cab ride to the airport. It is not a place with a ton of facilities or a pool, but being 2 older homes put together it has a great deal of intrinsic charm. It is located a few minutes walk from downtown and the museums and National Theatre, on a fairly quiet street in a decent neighbourhood. When we left I forgot to pick up the CD containing photos of our rafting adventure. When we contacted Laura, the manager, she went way above and beyond to upload the photos to a DropBox where we could get them immediately! If you don't need a 5-star resort to be happy, stay here!
