We loved our stay here in San José. The property is full of historic charm and feels welcoming the moment you arrive. The location was ideal for us because it’s within walking distance of the bus terminal, which made our early trip to Manuel Antonio simple and stress-free. Above all, the hostess was exceptional - so warm, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. Her hospitality was unforgettable and truly made this stay special.

It was such a great homey vibe in the midst of the city. I felt so calm entering this space coming from the hustle and bustle of San Jose, and I'm so glad I booked at Lola's. It is super clean and comfortable and is now my stay when passing through San Jose. Lola herself was extremely kind, and was very patient with me when I asked to practice my Spanish and she was sweet enough to help me with that throughout the check-in.
