Situated in San José, 46 km from Poas National Park and less than 1 km from Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica, SkyGarden Nunciatura Luxury Apartment offers a fitness centre and air conditioning.

Well there was a bit of a sanfu with the keys. The two individuals at the front desk couldn't find the keys the host left for me because they couldn't find my name. After some continual effort to provide more info, they found it. However, the building was clean, the apartment was very clean, both TVs worked, the shower was nice, albeit a little tight, but adequate. The water only warmed up to a certain temperature, maybe it could have been controlled from under the sink, but I didn't mess with it. The bed was comfy enough, plenty of space for my clothes and things. Everything you needed was in the kitchen. The Indian Restaurant downstairs had good food, but wayyyyy overpriced. The Pots and pans restaurant was much more reasonable. There are several cafes/coffee shops/restaurants within walking distance. But you will definitely transportation to get to just about anywhere else. BTW: if you are there during event time at the nearby stadium be prepared for crowds just about everywhere. The rooftop pool, pool table, views, BBQ, hot tub, were nice with all the spaces to hang out and chill if you want.

    Clean: the maid really worked hard to provide the best cleaning service. WiFi was superb in our room, so we could work remotely, make video calls etc. A pharmacy, laundry service and supermarket very close to the hotel. Breakfast is OK, it's ok buffet. if you stay here for more than 2 days you'll get bored with choices. Chefs who serve food behind the counter are very friendly. Beautiful rooms, very quiet, spacious, very comfortable beds, we slept like babies. I also liked design and paintings.

    "Studio deluxe" is an absolute gem! You feel like in 5 star hotel, but with style and class that a lot of objects miss... ;). Stuff is very nice and takes good care of you. If its raining, they will welcome you with umbrella.
