    inconsistent hot water

    Amazing stay for New Year's!

    The location's perfect—right by the lively street, but the room was quiet enough to sleep through the fireworks. Just wish the hot water was a bit more, definitely needed for the bubble bath.

    convenient location
    noisy environment
    dirty pillows

    big balcony, spacious room, convenient location

    Loud nightlife noise from the bar across the street kept me up!!! The area felt unsafe after dark, making me very uncomfortable when walking nearby. Not to mention the stains on the pillows—definitely off-putting!!!

    tasty breakfast
    noisy atmosphere
    old building

    Breakfast was tasty and filling.

    I found the hotel to be quite noisy at night. The music from a nearby club echoed into my room, making it hard to relax. Additionally, the building looked quite old, and despite being clean, it felt unwelcoming and dreary. I was quite disappointed with my stay.

    Just a proper fit for spending a night in San Jose with good price-value balance. The room had everything we needed for a quick stay.

    comfortable room
    good breakfast
    pool area
    strong disinfectant smell

    I had a wonderful time staying here for 2 nights. the room was comfortable, and I really enjoyed the simple but good breakfast in the morning. I loved spending my afternoons by the pool, and the cozy lounge was perfect for unwinding in the evenings. Just a heads up, there was a bit of a strong disinfectant smell in the room, but it didn’t bother me too much. 🏊‍♂️

    convenient breakfast
    street noise

    We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed easy access to the Central Park, which was perfect for relaxing afternoons. The breakfast was convenient, featuring a mix of tasty options that kept everyone satisfied. The staff were friendly, making our family feel welcomed.

    My kids wished for a more private sleeping area to get a better rest. The noise from the street could be disruptive at times, so consider requesting an interior room for a quieter experience.

    convenient location
    moldy smell

    Had an awesome time with friends here! The location was perfect for visiting the Central Park and the Jade Museum. Loved the complimentary breakfast and the friendly staff made us feel at home. Just a heads up, there’s security at the door, but it’s a great area for exploring during the day.

    We did have a strange experience with the building’s condition. Some rooms had a weird moldy smell, which was really off-putting. I recommend checking the room before settling in.

    Clean room, friendly staff, and a great location near the central market. The area felt a bit sketchy at night.

    Hotel Novo is exceptionally well-located, only a short walk to the central market and local sights. The staff was incredibly welcoming, making me feel like a valued guest, and the breakfast included freshly prepared options.

    Breakfast options could be more varied and appealing.

    genuine hospitality
    bubble bath

    Perfect for Anyone Seeking Comfort

    The staff were genuinely kind and attentive, always ready to help, making you feel like family. Plus, the room had a bathtub, something rare in this class of hotel, so I happily took a bubble bath.

    It wasn't exactly a bargain but worth it for the experience and comfort.
