We loved Casa 69. We stayed there for three nights and if we ever return to San Jose we will definitly stay there again. We loved the breakfast (fresh bread with butter and jam, fresh juice, coffee, fruit), the room was clean and comfortable, the staff was very friendly, and Kurt (the owner) was a charming host. Everyone who is... more

We stayed there one night (Sept. 13th), and couldn't have been more pleased. It was a quick cab ride from the Caribe bus station, we got upgraded to king room without asking, and everything was clean and stylish. We didn't need to deal with the owner, Kurt ,much, but he seemed really nice and helpful when we did. The other... more

We stayed at Casa 69 the night before our flight out of San Jose. First, had I known that CR is so small (and we had an afternoon flight) we would have come straight from Arenal for our flight rather than going to San Jose. Positives - From what I read Casa 69 is one of the better hotels to... more

It looks like the guest was not at our place and confuses us with another B&B. We are in less than10 minute walking distance of the following restaurants most of which you can find in all Costa Rica Travel Guides: Limoncello, Café Mundo, Olio, Juergens’s, Tin Jo, Don Wang, La Esquina de Buenos Aires, Nuestra Tierra, Bagelmen’s, Luna de Valencia...

I currently live in Panama and travel through out Central America often. I luckily stumbled across Casa 69 on the internet, made my reservation and was set. I couldn't have been happier with the place. Kurt (the owner) was amazing as well as his staff. There seems to be a rotating staff of about 5 people plus Kurt. One woman... more

My partner and I stayed at Casa 69 for a few nights in July 08. We could not fault the place. Kurt and his team are extremely welcoming and attentive. The room was spotlessly clean, spacious and well equipped with cable tv, fridge and safe. Breakfast was also very good. Kurt is a superb host and recommended some excellent places... more

The highly positive reviews of the hotel's owner Kurt are all true -- he is charming, most helpful, and he runs a modern, efficient B&B style hotel where the rooms and common areas are kept very clean. The location is just enough out of the center without being too far to walk, and I felt absolutely safe and secure. What... more

Doug Dosdall, Marketing/Public Relations

It is always helpful if a guest voices his complaints during the stay, or even better immediately when the problem occurs, to give us a chance to remedy the problem and make everybody feel comfortable instead of complaining after the fact, in this case after returning to Canada. My own bedroom window goes to the same courtyard and we do...

Our ultimate destination was Mal Pais, but since we couldn't get a local flight that worked with our flight into San Jose, we decided to stay overnight at Casa 69. What a fabulous place. We got in late and Kurt was gracious, even at that hour. Our room was in the other house across the street and was very comfortable,... more

We spent the first 2 nights and the last night of our honeymoon here and felt it was one of the best places we stayed in our whole trip across Costa Rica. Kurt and his staff made us feel very welcome and were gracious and courteous. You should definitely listen to Kurt's suggestions of where to eat around the B&B,... more

Casa 69 was my first and last stop in Costa Rica. It was my base in San Jose and it was an excellent choice. It's a great value for your money and the staff is amazing, especially Kurt. He was so friendly and attentive, and his recommendations for things to do and places to eat were wonderful. Everyone there is... more
