Hotel le Priss

We stayed as part of a tour 14 people in total including our family of 5 . The worst part are the staff they are very sullen and difficult and unfriendly which is in stark contrast to literally anywhere else in Costa Rica where everyone else was warm friendly fun and welcoming . You are immediately greeted with the importance of listening to their long list of rules which did not include not using your towels whilst at the beach . When we used 2 we were advised that we would be charged accordingly unless I could go and clean them myself . Given that my son was showering the night before when smoke started to billow from the electrics and fill the room and causing the children to be moved to another non air conditioned room all without any apology I pointed out that as we had been very understanding perhaps they too should be in these circumstances . An hour later I was waiting to hear the decision of the manager who couldn’t be contacted and eventually gave up . The hotel is a bit like a hostel , very neglected the photos are very misleading . The shower ( the one that didn’t blow up ) was cold , the breakfast pancakes were raw and the waitress very grumpy. The only positives were the bed and pillows were comfortable and the location is near a supermarket and the bus station but that’s it . If you can stay elsewhere you really should.

This hotel is conveniently located to restaurants, grocery stores, bus/taxi stops, and tour companies. Our tour group stayed for two nights and was given the option of an American or Costa Rican breakfast. The AC and fan come in handy after a long day of activities. The rooftop pool was great for relaxing in the evening. Unfortunately, the WiFi was weak throughout the property and only really worked in the reception area. Our toilet seat was stripping and management didn’t think it was priority to fix it before having guests stay for two days/night. The hot water didn’t work, which is fine if you notify your guest at check-in about this issue. Overall, our group made the best of it but improvements are needed

We stayed here as part of a tour and it was out last stop on a east to west trip. Hotel was comfortable although staying on the third floor was ok for us there was no lift so some may struggle. Covid restrictions in place, everyone wore masks and the dining areas was controlled so no worries from that point of view. Sadly the only complaint was lack of hot water. Our room was at the far end and it seems that any water was used up by the time it got to use so cold showers only! Hotel is convenient, 15 minute walk to the marina or one minute to the bus stop to get to the beach and national park. Local laundry was great and bakers nearby was excellent. Wifi is only available on the balconies outside the hotel doors and a little intermittent. Not great for finishing online covid travel documents!!!
