Description

The Hemingway is about 40 minutes from the Juan Santamaria International airport (SJO). The International Airport offers safe taxi service, so if you're not renting a car you can take one of the orange cabs at the exit of the airport. Use only the official Airport taxis for the best experience. The Hemingway's central location makes it a great home base to discover all that Costa Rica has to offer. The hotel can book your trips to the rainforests, to relax in thermal pools below an active volcano, go on a sunset cruise, or settle for the slow pace of a secluded sun-drenched beach. For the curious there is bird- and nature-watching, and for the adventurous you can climb a mountain, horseback ride or try some of the world's best (and safest) white-water rafting.After a day of exploring the sites and sounds of San Jose, relax and unwind in the open air hot tub on the jungle patio, or keep in touch with family, friends and business with the complimentary wireless Internet access. The hotel also offer a computer room upstairs for those traveling without a laptop. The knowledgeable bi-lingual staff can arrange for you to rent a reliable car or 4X4, or advise you on several types of entertaining tours.All guest rooms have a private tiled bath with hot water shower, private telephone with free calls within Costa Rica, safe box (charges apply), ceiling fan, cable TV, clock radios, daily maid service, and wireless Internet service. Pet-friendly rooms are also available with prior acknowledgement.

It was ok
By Sabia, 7/8/08
It was cheap, but I think you could probably find a better deal. It is also pretty close to the red light district. I would keep looking.

Fantastic Find
By The T, 11/30/07
Under new management, this “boutique hotel”/B&B is a renovated house which was originally built in the early 1920’s. It’s been remodeled and the remodeling and upgrading is continual and ongoing although most certainly not disruptive to my stay in any way. This wonderful charming and private lodging has 17 rooms, each with a private bath with both hot and cold running water as well as all the other expected bathroom needs. It’s kept clean and spotless each and every day while your there by the Hemingway’s on site staff of Rosa, Gabriella, or Katherine, and sometimes Patricia; as in your room. A very wonderful, self serve breakfast is offered each and every day from 6am-10am. It’s a self serve continental breakfast in the Inn’s courtyard where the jacuzzi is kept. The breakfast fare is numerous freshly sliced and cut FRESH fruits; fresh squeezed juice; boiled eggs; cheese; tamales; a couple of kinds of bread for the toasting; butter; hot coffee; hot tea; sugar; cream; milk; home made banana nut bread and other goodies to get you ready for your day’s expeditions. Will be returning.

Nice staff, great location
By josh, 3/16/06
The hotel staff and location are the best I have experienced in San Jose. They are close to downtown, but in a nice, safe neighborhood. There are several nice restaurants withing walking distance, and can point you in the right direction if you don't know where to go. I had them arrange both a volcano day tour and a rental car for me, and got a better rate than I would have online with one of the bigger companies. My room, while not huge, was clean, nice, and comfortable. I enjoyed the hot tub in the patio, and loved the fresh fruit and gallo pinto at breakfast. Not your average chain hotel, but a nice local place with friendly people and everything I needed.

Heminway Inn is a breath of fresh air!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 4/14/05
Everytime I visit Costa Rica, I only stay at the Hemingway Inn, the people there are like family away from home, and keep the Inn tidy and inviting. The location is superb, and you can walk to many places from it, or take a cab for a buck or two and go across town. All tours and services are available from the front desk. Nobody here will hassle you and will respect your privacy. There is a complimentary Tropical Breakfast here, fresh Costa Rican coffee and free internet access. The rooms are decent size and the water is hot, and the only bugs I have seen were outside, since Costa Rica is a Biosphere all in itself. If you are looking for a great place, with great people (American Management) and local staff, then look no further, this is the best place for me.

As Mcarthur said I shall return.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/11/04
I spent a few days at the Hemingway. It may not be the most up-scale place in SJ but after getting to know the owners and staff I felt like I was staying with family. Considering price and really nice folks I will take Hemingway over any yuppie place I have encountered. I will return. Hi pato!

THE WORST
By RANDALLH, 8/21/04
THIS HOTEL IS TERRIBLE. VERY SMALL ROOM, BUGS, NO HOT WATER, AND VERY NOISY. UNFORTUNATELY I BELIEVED THEIR DESCRIPTION ON THE INTERNET, AND COULD ONLY STAY 1 NIGHT. I FORFIETED MY DEPOSIT, BUT IT WAS WORTH IT TO MOVE TO A DECENT ROOM. THERE IS NO RESTAURANT OR ANY EATING PLACES NEARBY. A REAL DUMP.
