Hotel Kekoldi

San José


This airy art deco building in Barrio Amón has 10 high-ceilinged rooms of various sizes, painted in pastel shades and equipped with cable TV. The best ones face the backyard and are drenched in natural light; interior rooms are less appealing. Common spaces include a cheerful breakfast room and garden. Some mustiness lingers; don't be shy about requesting a different room.

Mustiness can be common in hotels of all classes in Costa Rica; you're in the tropics. Sometimes opening a window just for a bit can do the trick.
