Hotel Posada Terranova

The reviews for this hotel are either paid for or written by friends and cousins, because they’re extremely misleading. Located in the ghetto. Wi-Fi doesn’t work in rooms farther down the hall. Only street parking is available. The toilet in our first room was basically just a decoration — it wasn’t even connected to the floor. No way a worker didn’t notice that. The rooms are right next to residential houses, so you’ll hear loud banging, dogs barking, and trucks that sound like they’re falling apart. There were construction workers lounging outside—literally lying on the sidewalk and the stairs leading into the building—smoking cigarettes and watching cars like they were waiting for a chance to steal.

Older type property but great location. Rooms were clean enough, staff and service were great. The restaurant makes awesome breakfast, it's a bit pricier than other small local places in town, but good traditional food. Good price-value overall!

No hay estacionamiento y las paredes de la hab estan sucias

No elevators Overpriced food menu Noisy No one speaks English

It’s a good location, the outdoor patio is usually very quiet, but if you can avoid it, don’t get Rooms 10 or 12. Both are next to the hotel laundry which goes virtually 24/7 and is really noisy. Breakfast is not included and for what it is, expensive. Also no ice available. Be prepared for a wait at checking in, the internet is slow and the two who checked us in looked and acted like they’d rather be somewhere else. Our room needed a serious upgrade. Light bulbs that actually shed light might be a start. I know it’s San Jose and touristy, but for no amenities it’s overpriced. You’re paying for a central location.

Good walking location. Parking right in front of hotel. Nice staff.

The premises is great. Staff are fabulous. We stayed in Unit#11, a suite which they upgraded for us due to stairs. Located in a great area, with some great dining $-$$$. It is hilly and usual messed up sidewalks. We checked out other stays while here and this place is a gem by comparison. A couple blocks to main square, 30 minute walk to Walmart, 20 minute walk to the water. Would stay again!!

Hotel showing its age. No washcloths, only hand towels. Everything clean (except the bed coverlets and blankets that we didn’t use), but REALLY worn. Loud music and dog barking continued until very late. Steep, narrow stairs to 2nd floor - difficult with suitcase. Restaurant (separate entity) had great service, but so-so food value. Nice walk to town center.

Two star at the most great location but nothing else

Solo le falta estacionamiento

Hotel Posada Terranova is an excellent budget option. The location is perfect! Just steps from the centre of the art district and some seriously fabulous restaurants and culture. This property is fairly quiet considering how close it is to the art district. Even on Thursday nights when the streets fill with people for the art walk, it was relatively quiet. Yes, there are a few neighborhood dogs that occasionally bark, and sometimes you can hear people out in the hallway or guests slamming doors (room doors and doorframes are wood so they close loudly) but I found it quieter than expected and slept well. The beds are advertised as queen size, but they're doubles. They're quite short so our feet hung off the edge. Mattresses are quite worn and no longer very firm, but the pillows are really nice. Rooms aren't fancy, but they're clean! Room and hallways always smelled fresh. Sheets changed daily. A/C was tough to figure out, but it did keep the room very cool! No fan or window in the bathroom. Shower pressure was good and there was usually hot water. The hotel restaurant has some great Mexican breakfast options. We ate there a couple times and enjoyed everything we ordered. Staff is very kind. I don't think many of them speak English and my Spanish is terrible so it was a bit challenging to communicate, but they were patient with me and we made it work! Overall I'm very happy with our stay. Facilities are outdated, but they're clean, and the location is hard to beat!

Room was dirty!

Our room felt like a cave. I could not open the blinds because of the lack of privacy and the awful view.We could not get wifi in our room. There was no fan in the bathroom. The floor in the bathroom had black mold from the moisture.

Room was pretty basic. Bathroom was a little bit dirty. Lighting is harsh. TV didn't work. One very firm bed and one softer bed. Softer bed had crushed springs on one side. AC worked really well. Good water pressure in shower. Location is central and easy to walk everywhere.

Dirty room ,black hair everywhere , view of a filthy concrete wall two feet out, charging in US dollars when conversion was to be in Canadian dollars and only the manager spoke some English. Room was extremely small.Stay away and don’t get overcharged!

El hotel está un poco descuidado, le hace falta mantenimiento. En la primera habitación que nos dieron el ventilador de techo hacía mucho ruido, por lo que nos cambiaron a otra habitación. En la segunda habitación las puertas del closet estaban caídas y las llaves del baño estaban en mal estado. Las almohadas de las camas olían mucho a humedad. También hace falta más limpieza pues encontramos una cucaracha en los pasillos. Lo que nos pareció destacable fue el restaurante del hotel. Los alimentos y la atención del personal muy buenos.

En general el lugar le hace falta limpieza, Checamos una habitación y huele a humedad. De estrada la habitación #27 estaba polvosa, Nos encontramos Cucarachas en el Baño, pedimos cambio de habitación, nos cambiaron a la #29, también estaba polvosa, no había agua caliente y la coladera de la regadera del baño estaba tapada, y se estaba inundando, Mejor pedimos la devolución

Muy básico, limpio,las camas muy aguadas si quieres algo en el centro de San José está Bien para poder ir a caminar solo para eso

I was extremely with the Hotel Posada. Super clean, definitely Mexican in style, friendly staff especially the lady receptionist. The bed was really comfortable and the pillows so good that I wanted to buy one. I hope the Costco back here in Calgary has the same ones.

Execelente todo limpio excepto la TV no funcionaba pero todo super limpio

The location of the property is excellent if you’re looking to be close to the main square - about a five minute walk. It was a 20 minute walk to Walmart and just over 10 minutes to walk to the bus stop to get to Cabo San Lucas. It was VERY convenient! The outdoor restaurant inside the hotel offered excellent service and a beautiful setting. I had breakfast there most days and loved sitting in the outdoor area after it closed in the evening. The area around the hotel was very safe and quiet overnight. The staff were also quite helpful. I had to switch rooms though because I couldn’t get wifi in my first room. The second room had strong wifi but it was right beside another building which meant no natural light. There were a couple of issues though - the cold water shower faucet handle fell off, and the smoke detector started beeping in the middle of the night because it needed replacing. Initially the security guard wasn’t going to help me with the smoke detector but I begged him - it was 4am and I needed sleep. The rooms were very basic but the bed and pillows were comfortable, and there was warm water.

No tenía agua caliente y hacía mucho frío

Location was perfect, food was great at the restaurant inside and staff were very nice. Room was a little outdated but clean. The only complaint I have is the bed. The bed is not comfortable at all!

Room was pretty basic. Bathroom was a little bit dirty. Lighting is harsh. TV didn't work. One very firm bed and one softer bed. Softer bed had crushed springs on one side. AC worked really well. Good water pressure in shower. Location is central and easy to walk everywhere.

Good hotel with comfy beds. Lots of noises from dogs barking at night.

Televisión and air conditioning not working

Very pleasant people, 3 mins walk from Art District, hotel needs serious updating but does provide comfortable and clean bed and pillows, constant hot water. Breakfast available daily. No frills but not a bad experience.

It is a nice little hotel conveniently located. Short walk to shops & restaurants. The area is rather noisy all night long. I love dogs, but the neighbor's dog barking every 45 min. right outside our window all night was a bit much! lol. Considering it was a one night stay till our flight the next day. I’d consider staying there again. Keep your expeditions realistic considering the area.

Central location is excellent close to everything. Wonderful Staff. Nice Rooms comfortable, good shower. Lovely Breakfasts in the morning.

AC not work with the remote. I reported to front desk clerk who spoke no English, and maybe not much spanish. Never did get it to work. So luckily it was not too hot with just setting the fan. Desk clerk only understood "No" and cared less if we got any help. Other personnel at the hotel were very helpful (cleaning ladies, restaurant staff).

Esta muy cerca del centro caminando, el restaurante es muy bueno; nos gustó el menú de desayunos; en la recepción muy amables y dispuestos a ayudar.

Excellent location in downtown san jose del cabo. Walkable to the plaza and lots of restaurants. The staff was very accommodating in terms of requests despite language barrier.

Nuestra experiencia fue extremadamente negativa. Durante la estancia de mi equipo, ocurrió un incidente grave de seguridad fuera del hotel que nos dejó muy vulnerables. La atención del personal no brindó sensación de seguridad ni apoyo. No recomendaría este lugar para estancias de trabajo o personales si buscas garantías mínimas de seguridad.

Excelente ubicación. A dos cuadras está la famosa plaza Mijares y muchos restaurantes que se ven muy bien.

Great place to stay in the centro

Nice hotel close to the center of town

Quiet, good sized room, friendly staff, good neighborhood for walking

The staff was very friendly, food very good and location was excellent. I was able to walk to downtown without a problem.

Excellent place for the money. Great location. Breakfast at restaurant was excellent

Best breakfast ever

The posada taranova, it's a very original authentic older hotel and has a very good restaurant in it. And the staff are very kindly, and it's especially close to the Central area. So we do recommend it

The hotel is right on the border of the tourist area. So we were able to have the best from the both worlds: breakfast and lunch from the public market and coffee, dinner and drinks from the art and tourist district. 35 minutes of a plesand walk to the beach (it was January, it can be hot in other seasons). Breakfast and lunch at the hotel were OK if you like that sort of food. It was quite busy on Sunday because the place is popular with locals. Hotel has its charm: built in traditional style with tile, stucco and dark wood. Somewhat crumbled bathroom. Shower head certainly in need of upgrade. Next to the public market there is a laundry and we were able to wash our clothes just for 100 pesos for a bag. Hotel personal was helpful. They called taxi to take us to the airport and helped with our luggage.

Older type property but great location. Rooms were clean enough, staff and service were great. The restaurant makes awesome breakfast, it's a bit pricier than other small local places in town, but good traditional food. Good price-value overall!

Todo bien, en el restaurante es algo elevado, los precios

Solo el alimento no tiene sazón, deberían mejorar ese rubro

Great staff, excellent breakfast (not free, but worth the $), easy walk to restaurants, bars, shops.
