The hotel was closed, and for sale.
Location good, but the hotel was closed. Had been closed for weeks. We had a pre-paid confirmed reservation from Expedia. Confirm Expedia reservations with your hotel.

The owner was very friendly and helpful, the hotel is simple, but has some kind of originality, which also helps to create a feeling of adventure. The location is great, just steps away from downtown.

History and Service
We like staying in historical places and this one was great. Management was great as was the breakfast. We were on a room next to the street so it was noisy compared to our jungle home in Las Tumbas. The owner was very nice and spent time with us at breakfast. Bed could have been a little softer seems like I could feel the strings.

An old inn, funky too, near Downtown
The Hemingway Inn is a very old hotel. It's value is the architecture and the fact it is so close to Downtown, easily within walking distance. If you are looking for an upscale place, this is not it. The entire place could use a scrub down, and repairs and "TLC" here and there. That said, we enjoyed our stay. The room was clean enough. The morning breakfast was good. Note: I did see that parking is offered and note that it is not a secure lot. You park on the street. Also, a surprise to us, prostitution is legal in Costa Rica and we arrived to the hotel late (after 10:30 p.m.). Along the streets leading to the Inn, you will see women at work. Initially, we thought the Inn must be a flop house in a seedy neighborhood. It's really not. We had entered a different cultural norm.

Hotel cómodo Zona central
Buena ubicación, acceso a rutas importantes, limpieza, agua caliente, ambiente fresco. Única sugerencia, un poco más de proactividad en cuanto a la recepción y el colchón estaba en mal estado (habitación 7), podría mejorar y por lo demás muy bien! Para aquellos que buscamos estar tranquilos y valoramos el silencio.

Hemingway Inn San Jose Costa Rica
I have always had good luck with the El Maragato in San Jose, and have gotten my overall trip scheduled with Orbitz.com and have recommended using your services to many many others. This hotel was a complete disappointment and after seeing the room simply could not stay there. I went across the street and booked my week at the Don Carlos which was very nice and I would highly recommend it. The Hemingway was poorly lighted, dirty, throughout, and I simply could not have stayed there. I did not feel I could have done anything more than come back to you with a request for some reimbursement as the stay at the Don Carlos was an additional cost of $425.99. Can I be reimbursed for this stay in lieu of your recommendation?

ROOM SO LOUD!!
I stayed one night in the room off of the lobby that faced the street. It was so so so loud. Fortunately, I am a good sleeper that although I wake up, I can go back to sleep no problem. NO ONE should be placed in that room. It should be a public space.

If you don't want to stay in the usual plastic Holiday Inn, this is an excellent choice. It's inexpensive, unique, pleasant, and many of the guests are interesting people. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and can help you get the most out of your stay.

Bien placé mais mal équipé
Hotel à 5min de l'avenue principale. Tout est faisable à pieds, pas besoin de voiture. C'est le seul point positif. Chambre mal équipée (petit store à la place de rideaux, fenetre qui ne ferme pas donc mal isolée du bruit de la rue, porte de salle de bain défaite de son rail donc ne ferme pas).

Comfortable and quaint
The Hemingway is a really cool, eclectic, and comfortable place with lots of charm. The place is run by Dennis and his family and they do a great job making everyone feel like their place is more like home than a hotel. The breakfast each morning is amazing. Great location! Great value for the price! I will definitely stay again!

Warm, European ambience
Operated by very friendly and helpful ex-pat, great value for the room rate. Plenty of Hemingway memorabilia, the rooms all named after famous 20th authors, a comfoting european hotel atmosphere. Breakfast included was a pleasant surprise. Will definitely return if I return to San Jose.

Highly Overated
The pictures must be old as it is overgrown, not anything like I saw. The rooms smelly, small gnats from something, perhaps sewer gnats? Housekeeping only twice in my week stay when it said daily. I did get towels daily. Your site said it took Discover, but it did not. I had to pay cash and that cut into trips and food. Toiletries consisted of soap only. I saw payment for an "escort" as I was trying to check in. I was upset so if you have children...... No internet service as stated, though it had weak wi-fi and mostly spanish ts stations. Toilet clogged and I was told that you are NOT supposed to flush the TP, no sign and was not told. You take your used TP and place it in a waste barrel next to the toilet until they come for it. Not all that clean did not eat though breakfast was free. Any more experiences like this on your site, doubt if I book on Expedia know matter the price. VERY disappointed and that was the worse part of my vacation. The place did NOT look like what you show. Get rid of Hemmingway Inn.
This sign was put up after I made complaint.
TP to go??????
Risposta di THANK YOU!, il giorno 23 nov 2016
Good Night Anna Maria The room is regularly cleaned every day, when you make a reservation for our hotel we specify that we only offer the basic supplements of personal toilet for the bathroom You made the payment in cash because you spoke with us that you have problems with your credit card and could not use the ATM that was not a problem of the hotel because we have dataphone for your cards We live in the city and it is very clear that for greater hygiene should not throw the toilet paper inside the sanitary service and it is normal to have a trash can next to the bathroom or but where our guests throw the kotex and other things, The toilet lever correctly His dealings with us were rude, if you remember every time you walked out the main door always angry. If you had a problem from the beginning and it was not what you expected you could cancel your reservation at the time from the first day. Well thanks for your comment and for the photos I attach

Close to San Jose city center.
Several tourist attractions, museums and shopping, nearby. Hotel is situated in an area close to the Zoo, giving it a semi gentrified feel. Rooms are smallish, but adequate. Bathroom in my area was large and clean. A missing feature was a closet or Anwar, there was no place to hang up clothing. Bed was large and comfortable.

Basic accommodation in a good location
I stayed at the Hemingway Inn from September 11 to September 26, 2016 which is considered the off season because of increased rainfall but this did not cause me any real problems because almost like clockwork the rain nearly always fell for an hour or two in the afternoon with the mornings and evenings usually clear. Since many of the tourist points of interest in San Jose, such as the jade museum, are in walking distance of the Hemingway I saw no need spend a lot of money taxis. Also if you take the time to familiarize yourself with the public transit you can save a lot of money. For example, you can take a public transit bus from Alajuala bus terminal in downtown San Jose to the Juan Santamaria international airport for 535 colones (equivalent to about one US dollar) instead of spending 15 or more dollars on a taxi. In addition to local attractions in San Jose I took a number of day excursions such a rainforest tours (hiking with rainforest guide, ziplining, aerial trams) which usually included a good buffet lunch and sometimes a buffet breakfast depending on the length of the tour. Other tours such as the Baldi hot springs, the Poas volcano and coffee plantations, or a short riverboat cruise where I saw crocodiles, monkeys and sloths I arranged through local tour operators during my stay in San Jose. All of these day excursions included pick up and drop off at the Hemingway Inn.

A great experience...
We really enjoyed our stay here. Dennis and Romi were fantastic. We got great recommendations for dining and tours from Romi and Dennis. The breakfast was great each day. It included juice, coffee, gallo pinto, eggs, toast, and fruit. While I was here I overheard the statement that this hotel isn't for everybody. I agree with this. If you are expecting luxury accommodations at this price you will be disappointed. However, what it lacks in luxury, it really makes up for in hospitality. Staying here is an experience. One of the best parts is that the guests were all so interesting and friendly. There were many opportunities to chat with guests in the courtyard over breakfast or coffee at any other time during the day. Socially, this was the best experience of our visit. Obviously, this can vary based on the guests at any given time, but I do think this place attracts people who are a bit more social and adventurous and not so stuffy. We were really lucky to be invited a birthday dinner at the hotel during our stay. The food was the best we had during our stay in San Jose, and it was so nice of the family to include us. The downside is that the location makes it a bit noisy at times. If this is a concern I would recommend not staying in the rooms facing the busy road. Room 1 has a great shower though, so this makes up for it.

Decent accommodations for the price
I stayed here for two nights in July 2016. It's kind of a funky setup. I had to walk around the back, through a sort of common kitchen area, and then up a set of stairs to get to my room which overlooked the corner of Calle 9 and Avenida 9. Fortunately, the weather was a little cool as the room lacked an air-conditioning unit. It did have a ceiling fan, however. The room was a bit cramped with the double-sized bed, small writing desk, and armoire. I kept bumping my knee against the large wooden bed frame. Also, I was unable to get a good wifi signal from the room. I had to go down to the common area to use my laptop or cell phone. It's in a centralized location. Close to bars and restaurants.
Gracias por por su visita y comentarios. No tenemos aire acondicionado, sin embargo si hay ventilador de techo. Saludos,

Prestations moyennes et propreté douteuse
Aucun intérêt. Hôtel plus que vieillot et poussiéreux(mobilier à dépoussiérer). Le temps semble s'être arrêté depuis qu'Hemingway y a séjourné. L'établissement et à rafraichir de fond en comble. Les petits déjeuners sont anecdotiques tellement il sont insignifiants et peu appétissants à l'image de la gastronomie costaricaine... Personnel féminin apathique et laxiste, peu attentif au client.

A quirky budget gem in the city center!
I stayed 3 nights in this characterful arty gem of a family run hotel - a beautiful cooked to order breakfast and relaxing garden, older but clean and interestingly decorated rooms and helpful friendly staff. Super central with lots of eating and shopping nearby and very safe/secure (although taxis are best at night). A comfortable and clean room for the price.
