What guests think

Across reviews for Hotel Quinta Avenida, travelers praise the central location, kind staff, good value, and generally clean, sizable rooms, while noting drawbacks like a rough-feeling neighborhood at night, some street noise, occasional pests or musty smells, and basic comforts.

Staff are frequently described as outstanding and helpful, with a few complaints about front-desk attitude or payment limitations. The hotel is walkable to downtown sights and bus terminals, including the airport bus, but several guests felt the immediate area was unsafe after dark. Rooms are often large and adequate for short stays, though reports include hard mattresses, mixed in-room Wi-Fi, occasional maintenance issues, and the absence of on-site parking. A practical, budget-friendly base if you prioritize value and location.

Looks clean, but feeling unsafe because of the neighborhood and there was no private parking. We could park on the street but have to get up and move the car by 6 AM to a parking garage 1 or 2 blocks from there. We finally didn't sleep there and left for a different hotel without asking for the payment back (we checked in and stayed in the room for about 10 minutes and decided to leave).

Great value for the money. Clean place, courteous staff. Guests who come here are very lucky. Staff has a logical attitude. Guests should pack a fly swatter in their suitcase for the occasional Roach. I know I did.

Wonderful hotel. Located within walking distance of the heart of San José and near a lot of transit options - including the bus to/from the airport. The hotel itself was extremely clean and has great WiFi. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Highly recommend - a great value!

Queda en el puro centro lo cual es ideal para desplazarse con facilidad. La relación calidad precio esta muy bien. Son habitaciones basicas pero con todo lo que necesitas. Lo unico que mejorafia seria la limpieza de estas. Le hace falta una limpieza profunda a las cortinas y los baños. Se nota mucho moho en ambas. Fuera de eso es un buen lugar basico para pasar la noche

Before I checked out I informed the manager, that the rooms stunk of mold, and that it was not necesary to have the room next to mine, vigorous, noisy cleaning at 7am, dragging furniture around. The hotel only had about 3 rooms booked. Totally unneccessary. my thinking is the client is number one. I said I would give his hotel a negative review, poor value for my money. My money has legs. good day

A very nice place to stay especially for the price. Very nice and charming decor. The staff is friendly and helpful. The downside is that I couldn't get a strong Wi-Fi signal in my room and had to go to the lobby to get any work done. They need a second router for such a big place. Also, my toilet seat was broken, which made it uncomfortable to sit on. Other than those things, we really liked our stay there.

Llegué media hora antes del chekin, la de recepción con poca atención dijo, hasta las 3 le puedo dar su habitación, y como si fuera una gran atención dijo, pero puede sentarse en el sofá y esperar…., según ella eran INSTRUCCIONES del dueño, que pena la existencia de hoteles así. Para atender estaba hablando por teléfono, cuando me acerque a recepción ni siquiera una mirada o una sonrisa, solo hablaba por teléfono . Espero al dueño media hora sin dejar entrar al huésped lo haga más rico . Ya no regreso a ese hotel
