We stayed at Studio Hotel Boutique for one night before our flight home, and it was the perfect ending to our Costa Rica trip. The hotel is conveniently located close to the airport while still feeling far removed from the hustle and bustle of San José. The hotel was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. As a studio hotel, art is featured throughout the property, creating a unique and visually appealing atmosphere. Everywhere you look, there is something interesting to admire. Breakfast was included and was excellent, with plenty of options for those following a vegan diet. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making our short stay very enjoyable. The location was ideal for us. We spent the day at nearby La Hacienda La Chimba, where we enjoyed zip lining and hiking. The trail was especially interesting because it features a giant Buddha statue, a massive hand sculpture, and other unique works of art along the way. It made for a fun and memorable excursion before our flight home. Despite being just minutes from the airport, the hotel still felt like we were experiencing the heart of Costa Rica. It is also within walking distance of shops and restaurants, making it easy to explore the area without driving. If you're looking for a comfortable, artistic hotel near the airport that still offers an authentic Costa Rican atmosphere, Studio Hotel Boutique is an excellent choice.

Perfekte Lage für den Anreisetag, da das Hotel nicht weit vom Flughafen entfernt ist. Ausreichend überwachte Parkplätze vorhanden. Große Zimmer und gutes Frühstücksbuffet. Den Pool haben wir nicht genutzt, fanden ihn aber geschmackvoll angelegt. Die Kunst in den Fluren ist interessant und gibt dem Hotel ein besonderes Flair. Das Personal ist freundlich und hilfsbereit.

We really enjoyed our 1 night stay here, the staff were without exception friendly and helpful. We ate in the restaurant, food was lovely, however I thought a little pricey. Breakfast was excellent and included. Trip to airport is approx $40 dollars but feel it was worth staying a bit further away from airport to be in such lovely surroundings. Highly recommended.

Beautiful hotel, great food and staff lovely. However, do not allow the hotel to book taxis, or use the taxi company the hotel is associated with, the taxi driver kept adding more and more on due to the ‘exchange rate’. I’m pretty sure the exchange rate did not cost $30 for $65 trip that was quoted and promised. Unfortunately this was a real dampener and put a sour feel on the end of what was a great holiday, nothing worse than being taken advantage of and ripped off! Tourists beware.
