Welcomed warmly. Very stylish comfortable room with beautiful view out over Escazu and orange flowering flame trees. Great tree with bromeliads & sweet singing yellow bellied bird by our balcony. Delicious dinner and breakfast. We will stay here again.

Was a very nice unique special experience. Victor and his wife the owners give you very special attention and provides warm wonderful service. More of a bed and breakfast feel. But you can eat all meals there. Views stunning over looking the city but removed from Escazu's hustle and bustle. This time of the year the trees had so many colors especially a radiant orange. Icing on the cake, hundreds of hummingbirds. Thanks for the memories Criistal!!!

This place was far beyond anything I expected, extremely clean and the staff was the same beyond my expectations. If you can find this place it's worst the stay. I say that because they don't really have street signs in San Jose or CR!! However the signs to location once you location them will take you to the top.Staff was very helpful and meeting other guess was a pleasure. This is a must stay location, if you visit the San Jose area with out the traffic. on top over looking the whole San Jose area

This unique boutique hotel was an amazing experience. I wanted to be out of the city on this relaxing trip, and Casa Crystal is perched on a hill outside of San Jose but with spectacular views of the city. The room was impeccable. Service was outstanding. The couple that own and run this personable hotel are there for you. Always answering the phone and bringing you whatever you need. Amazing ! ! ! I've been in Costa Rica for seven months and this has been my best hotel experience so far. Full bar. Restaurant. Personal service. Swimming pool. Sun deck! I am looking forward to my next stay there. Enjoy this wonderful hotel !

Mi novia y yo queriamos una escapada romántica cerca de San José, este Hotel resultó la mejor opción, hermosas vistas de San José tanto de noche como de día, pero lo suficientemente cerca para ir al restaurante de nuestra elección a cenar, el desayuno estuvo delicioso, el trato del personal cortés y amable y la habitación de las mil maravillas realmente es un lugar que puedo recomendar

I enjoyed my stay. The views are amazing. I was greeted outside, the moment I got of the taxi. I ate dinner at the hotel - try the chicken with mushroom sauce. I wished I had stayed longer but I will be back.

Hotel muy lindo, con mucho estilo, en las afueras de san jose con muy buena vista. En un barrio muy tranquilo, en el limite urbano. nuestra habitación era de las más grandes y era espectacular, además con una gran terraza con na vista maravillosa. El servicio no estaba a la altura de la infraestructura, sobre todo en el restorán, aunque eran muy amables. también había otros detalles, como que la habitacion se llenaba de olor a comida cuando el restorán estaba en funcionamiento. En necesario andar auto, si es así hay varios restoranes cerca.

Owner Victor is a lovely person. His staff especially Al provided top notch service and went out of his way to make us feel at home. Al recommended a great local restuarant "Laly's" in a nearby neighborhood that also had excellent food and service.

Neues, mit viel Geschmack und moderner Kunst durchgestyltes Boutique-Hotel ruhig am Hang über San Jose gelegen. Viel Glas und Balkone gewähren einen - besonders am Abend - phantastischen Blick über die Stadt. Die nur 9 Zimmer sind großzügig und gut ausgestattet; wie häufig in dieser Art von Hotels, in denen manchmal die Form Vorrang vor der Funktionalität hat, fehlen allerdings einige praktische Kleinigkeiten wie der Haken im Badezimmer, an dem man den bereit liegenden Bademantel aufhängen kann. Der Pool ist klein und nicht zum Training für Olympia geeignet, aber ausreichend für die Erfrischung nach der Rückkehr aus der Stadt und ebenfalls mit schönem Blick. Das Haus wird persönlich von den sehr gut Englisch sprechenden Besitzern geführt. Im kleinen Restaurant haben wir ausgezeichnet gegessen. Insgesamt haben wir uns in diesem Hotel sehr wohl gefühlt. Auf Grund seiner Lage - es ist nur mit dem Taxi erreichbar - und seiner Intimität ist es aber weniger für Gäste geeignet, die Trubel suchen.

The hotel is beautiful. We had an upstairs suite with a nice view. Just outside our door was a quiet lounge with balcony so it was very easy to just relax. The staff was very friendly, though we initially had a problem with the front desk manager who didn't want to honor hotels.com reservation. After speaking with the owner, resolving that issue, we were able to enjoy our stay. The included breakfast was also nice. This may not be the most convenient location for the airport, but we wanted a place near San Jose, but not right in the city. Be sure you're getting the bed you need. The single "suites" are small with single beds.

Nice place. Out of the way, which is what we wanted. A home away from home. The room we had was on the main floor - we could hear every door bell and the staff and guests talking as if they were in our room.

The hotel is out of the way over looking San Jose. You will be within 5 minutes of downtown Escazu that has all the amenities of San Jose without the traffic. The hotel staff speaks English if your Spanish is rusty. The hotel is very safe with a night watchman rental cars will be as you leave them. I brought a laptop and left it on the bed stand without a problem. The rooms were clean and faced the morning sun, however they were sparsely decorated with little furnishings and no heat in the rooms, and although this was not a problem the mornings can be cool. If you have never been to Costa Rica and wanted to be close to San Jose with a Bed and Breakfast type atmosphere this is your Hotel.

Good views, but somewhat hard to find (luckily had GPS). Ate at restaurant for dinner...would not recommend as it was the most expensive and worst of our entire trip. Room was nice.

We only stayed one night in San Jose - we had to catch the Interbus in the morning for Cahuita. The Hotel is off the beaten path a bit - so I'd recommend a taxi and not driving. It was about 15-20 min from the airport on in a hilly residential neighbor hood (Escazu). The hotel staff were very helpful and friendly, arranging our cab taxi from the airport, and to our bus pick up in the morning. The room was spotless, with a huge shower and large balcony overlooking San Jose. The bed was comfortable, and though we had to leave in the morning before breakfast, the on duty manager made sure we had some orange juice and fruit before we left. If you want someplace a bit different, with great views of the city and mountains, the Casa Cristal is a good choice!
