Not so picture perfect

Rooms and bathroom are not as per pictures, quite old decor but clean. There is a park near by that offers pedal push boats and canoeing.

Gut und günstig

Sauber, gutes Zimmer, leckeres Frühstück. Nicht ganz im Zentrum gelegen.

Gutes Hotel für einen kurzen Aufenthalt

Das Hotel ist längst nicht so modern, wie es die Bilder erscheinen lassen: ich selbst habe nicht im modernen Teil genächtigt, sondern in einem älteren sehr dunklen Zimmer, was aber von der Ausstattung und Sauberkeit her in Ordnung war. Preis-Leistung ist voll gegeben. Es gibt einen netten Innenhof mit Pool/Liegewiese. Vom Frühstück würde ich abraten dieses ist sehr simpel und dafür recht teuer. Lage: Zwar nicht zentral in der Innenstadt, aber in 15-20 Minuten erreicht man das Zentrum zu Fuß. Dafür gibt es um das Hotel schöne Restaurants (nicht immer so leicht zu erkennen: der Kubaner und Peruaner war klasse!) und Bars (sowie einen Supermarkt). Es liegt verkehrsgünstig für Bus und Auto zum Flughafen bzw. einen Ausflug zum Póas-Vulkan.

Modernes Hotel mittlere Kategorie

Hotel Autentico ist ein guter Auswahl. Nicht direkt zentral gelegen aber zum Fuss kann man schon in 15 Minuten das Zentrum erreichen. Die Gegend ist relativ sicher,riesiger Supermarket ist nah und die Bushaltestelle Richtung Flughafen ist daneben. Frühstück ist nicht reichhaltig,aber für Preis war okay.
