Quite basic and âtiredâ looking rooms. Cold water only in the sink for hand washing. Tepid shower and thin towels- It felt a bit like going back to back packing in our youth. Pick up and drop off from and to the airport was a nice bonus. Good breakfast and coffee. Good priced beer. Itâs away from any shops/restaurants although cheap uber ride to down town is $5. Or you can order u er eats but this also felt like being a student again!The driving and traffic is terrible so not as convenient a location as it first seems for a one night stay between flights. The garden was great with a chance for seeing more birds but the early checkout of 10am and a feeling given of being obliged to leave the property with no access to facilities like you get with other hotels made for a long day waiting for late over night flight home. On a positive note the owner was happy to keep our luggage and meet us down town with the car to take us to the airport which took an element of stress away. With hindsight we wouldnât chose this location for a night between flights due to the above points in future but all part of the experience of travel
We stayed here on our last night in Costa Rica so we could be close to the airport. The family that runs this is so lovely. It's a quiet spot with a beautiful property. It was gorgeous waking up to one final view of the landscape through the giant single-pane window in the room. They recommended a great seafood spot in town for dinner and drove us to the airport in the morning.
Clean room, nice hosts. I wish I had a better view from my balcony, other than the bushes. Also, maybe ham and eggs would have been a better alternative for breakfast. I never eat jam and butter.
Other than that, the place is very quiet and relatively close to the airport. I'd definitely stay here again.
I had a wonderful experience at Pibi Boreal hotel! The location is perfectâvery close to the SJO airport, which made my travel so convenient. One of the best parts is the free shuttle service to and from the airport, which was punctual and easy to use.
The hotel itself is spotless. Every corner, even the tiniest area, was incredibly clean and well-maintained. Itâs clear that cleanliness is a top priority here, and I really appreciated that.
Overall, this was a comfortable, stress-free stay. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, convenient place near the airport!
Perfect spot for as we came into San Jose for our flight out the next day. The family is so kind, and it was nice to be 20 min out of the madness of a city after spending 2 weeks in amazing beaches and rain forests. Highly recommend!
