Cute super vintage place. There is a small police station on same street so you feel extra safe. Dining is walking distance and many options. Room smelled old and bedding sheets looked old so did the furniture. Hot water in shower worked for a few seconds then turned cold. It wasn’t horrible but if your looking for something other than a quick night stay probably not your place. You also have to be ok with the creepy vintage stuff lol.

Very pleased!
Very attentive service. Hotel had character—in a good way! Train did not disturb me at all. It’s a bit worn—a broken tile here, faded blankets…but we were safe and comfortable and enjoyed the neighborhood. The free parking was what sold me on the place. Very pleased, will stay again when in San José.

Excellent location, wonderful staff, small rooms but with all that you need. Hotel is very near a noisy railway, so bring earplugs! My biggest problem was a snoring neighbour who was so loud he could be heard from three rooms away. His poor wife...

Great location for city centre and local restaurants, bars and coffee shops. But pack ear plugs - it's close to the rail tracks and tooting starts at 5.30 but it's not unpleasant.

I like this property because of its location, boutique, quiet and reasonable price. It is a large house and felt more like a home than a hotel. The small garden breakfast area was nice. The staffs were all kind, smiling and helpful. The airport pickup service took a lot of worry out for my late evening arrival with a price similar to a taxi. Uber is not legal in San Jose, therefore airport pickup is troublesome. I used Uber at other times without problem. The location of the hotel is excellent with walking distance to tourist spots in downtown. The neighborhood is upper-middle class and felt safe. They have different sized rooms according to your needs. I found out later that Hillary Clinton stayed there in 2005. The wife of the owner was a painter. She gave Hillary a flower painting. I would recommend it.

Escalante 1492
El lugar tiene muchísimo potencial, pero requiere más atención en el cuidado. La habitación se percibió un poco descuidada el primer día, particularmente el baño. Los días subsiguientes estuvo mejor. Tiene un patio interior hermoso, pero necesita mantenimiento. El desayuno es un poco limitado, pero la empleada que lo confecciona es sumamente amable y servicial. Al igual que ella, Juan, el Front desk que nos recibió, también es muy amable, servicial y ofrece alternativas. De inmediato nos coordinó uno de los tours y fue muy eficiente. En términos de la ubicación, es espectacular. Es tranquilo y en una cuadra te ubicas en el área gastronómica y turística de Escalante. También te ofrecen asistencia para coordinar transporte hacia el aeropuerto. Eso da gran tranquilidad y seguridad. En general, yo recomendaría considerar las áreas identificadas y lo recomendaría. Gracias.

Hotel 1492 It’s a gem in the heart of SJ. Small colonial style hotel, with nice spacious rooms, comfortable mattresses. Walking distance to Central ave, Jade museum, National museum, National theater etc. Behind the corner from Bario Escalante where you can enjoy all types of restaurants and night life. Quiet neighborhood, birds woke us up. Freshly made breakfast served in a nicely decorated dining room. It is best if you want/need to spend few night in the center of SJ.

My wife and I stayed there for five nights in a standard room in the back next to the kitchen. The hotel is old but very clean and attractively decorated. At the back of the hotel there is a garden and kitchen with a microwave and kettle for the guests to use. The front desk was attentive. It was generally quiet except for a couple of mornings at 6:00 AM. The only negatives were the extremely weak internet (being at the back of the hotel), the small rooms and the very large legs of the wooden bed frame which I kept hitting with my knee. But the positives outweigh the negatives and we would return.
