Pros
Historic Victorian architecture with authentic period details
Located in one of San Jose's oldest neighborhoods
Surrounded by multiple restaurants within 0.5 miles
Five-minute walk to major cultural attractions
Cons
25-minute drive from the International Airport
Limited room inventory with only 10 total units
“What stands out is its Victorian decor, offering a distinctive contrast to San José's modern hotels; plus, it's just a short walk to Barrio Amón's historic streets and nightlife. The hotel has a unique dining experience in what used to be an old wine cellar; but I think, most importantly, they take security seriously. It's a solid choice if you appreciate character.”
