Hotel Zima

What guests think

Across recent reviews, Hotel Zima earns frequent praise for its friendly, helpful staff and central location, while a number of guests note dated or basic rooms with occasional maintenance and noise issues.

Several reviews highlight recurring hot water problems and, to a lesser extent, inconsistent in-room Wi-Fi. Cleanliness feedback is mostly positive, though a few guests reported pests or housekeeping lapses. Most diners liked the on-site restaurant, but breakfast service or quality disappointed some. Overall, expect a centrally located stay with warm service, solid food, and variable room quality.

Good hotel with all basic amenities. We got in late and thankfully there was someone walking by inside the hotel that was able to open the gate for us since there is no doorbell or way to indicate you have arrived without calling. As we did not have SIM cards yet, we were at the mercy of the hotel to get in. The room was good. Comfortable bed with towels and soap. Wifi worked well for working in the morning. The free breakfast in the morning was a great plus. Overall good stay for a reasonable price.

Perez Zeledon has few hotel, I have had the opportunity to stay in Los Crestones and Hotel del Sur, those are OK. I wanted to level up and stay in the supposed Perez Zeledon Best Western. We paid for the more expensive room to get a king bed...This hotel is terrible, it has structural issues, you sit in the bet and it feels like the whole place is going to colapse, the shower is terrible, not very clean and the "hot" water comes and goes, you cannot take a 5 min shower without having to step out due to cold or very hot water. And... not only that, at midnight someone had a party in their room!! so I had to go to the reception to have the security people to go to shut this people up. We decided to leave due to the terrible experience currently dealing with the refund.

I felt safe at the hotel but the area outside of the walls seemed a little scary. We were surprised the room did not have a safe. We had to carry our valuables with us on our day trips. But the staff were so sweet and even gave us advice on what to see and their advice was very good. The food at the restaurant is also very good.

Positives: (1) convenient central location and (2) excellent staff & service. Negatives: (1) we reserved & paid for a superior room with 2 double beds but reception said they didn’t have any available at check in and put us in a standard room with 1 double bed. (2) hot water in shower runs out very quickly. (3) internet in room is very weak & unreliable.

Our room was a King Bed room on the first floor. Therefore the traffic noise was more noticeable. Facilities within the room were basic, but functional. We ate late in the onsite restaurant and we were more than happy with the food and the prices. However, the breakfast was definitely a disappointment. Very low quality food and the service was a million miles away from the previous night. There is a definite lack of quality hotels in San Isidro and having now stayed in nearly all of them, this is the best so far! The breakfast menu was made up of 7 choices included within the price of the room and several others that were extra. Perhaps the other options were of better quality, but if so, I'd rather pay more for the room and have a better breakfast, or just a flat reduction on the bill per person.

The rooms are run down. The floor had a giant dent. Our room was on the second floor and we were afraid the flooring would break and we would fall to the first floor. I am an architect and I could tell there was something wrong with the structure supporting the whole floor. If you walked you could hear the metal structure creaking and you could feel it tremble. We felt very unsafe. We had trouble sleeping, since the neighbors were running around you could hear and feel the whole floor and bed move. The tv was in pretty bad shape, had lines and dead pixels. When you showered you only had one minite of hot water. After one minute the water turned ice cold so you had to shut down the water and start running it again for the hot water to return for another minute. Overall the experience was awful. Thank goodness we only had to stay for one night. When telling the front desk manager about it he said no one has ever complained but I doubt it. Paying a $126 for that room is a scam. DO NOT STAY HERE.

We had a brief one night stay on our way to Sn Jose - we had changed our reservation by a day as our plans evolved and had confirmation from Expedia but when we arrived the hotel hadn’t updated the date - but , Jesus at reception assured us it was no problem and we had a a room , but it was prepared for one person , not two , so we had to ask for the extra this and that for the two of us . But - all of the staff , Jesus in particular were just so wonderful, the restaurant staff as well , always smiling , nothing was a problem , so in the end after a bumpy start we had a great stay The hotel does need a little attention some details , but again , we had a great stay
