This is a simple hotel in a northern suburb of San Jose with off-street parking. The owner is responsive and professional, the room was quiet at night (less so during the day) and the bed comfortable. I was able to do some work in the lounge area.

If you want to stay close to Downtown San Jose, this is the place. A quiet neighborhood close to a street full of life and nice restaurants. Downtown is an easy walking distance. Check-in was fast and efficient and the on-site parking is very secure at no extra charge. Everything in our room was new and clean, including a washer and dryer. The view from the 11th floor was spectacular both at night and during the day. This is hands-down our first choice for a hotel San Jose

The location is perfect, close to Barrio Escalante and very close to the city center by walking as well. There is a supermarket where you can find everything you need at 5 minutes walking distance and very nice restaurants and coffee shops around (I recommend Mandrágora Gastro Pub with Harry Potter vibes and Franco for a nice coffee). You have everything in this hostel, a lot of showers, toilets, full equipped kitchen, beds are perfects. The team who is in charge of this hostel is very helpful and friendly ! Thanks to them ! It's automatic check in, so nobody will be here to host you so make sure to have read before the message from the hostel on booking. You will have to fill some basics info in order to have your key to enter the building (1 minute action so it's manageable easily)
