Case Lima B&B is a hidden gem within the city of San Jose. The tranquil environment created here is second to none. Having breakfast with waterfall sounds in the background along with the tropical plants is serene. Nelson is a phenomenal host who went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience in Costa Rica. That's not coming from an inexperienced traveler. I have been traveling for over 20 years, 5 continents, and over 10 countries with multiple visits to many. This place exceeded all my expectations and I can see how this business is thriving and will only do better in the future. My mobility scooter was damaged by the airline while coming to Costa Rica and it was a big issue, to say the least. My wife and I tried to find tools and such on our own but had no luck. After talking to Nelson about it, he took it upon himself and proceeded to fix it during our breakfast no less. During our breakfast, of the best banana pancakes we have ever had in our lives, he succeeded with the scooter. The scooter was running and he did an amazing job of securing things to make sure it didn't happen again. It was never his problem and he would have been an incredible host without doing so, but he still went out of his way for us. He saved our trip in more ways than one. We will definitely stay again and even if they were full we would visit just to see him, the amazing lobby, and to have breakfast. I would recommend 10 out of 10 to anyone.

First of all I gotta say the owner is amazing. He is very good people’s person. Breakfast was very nice, my kids enjoyed for sure. However the property needs some love. I reserved a room for my husband and kids as they traveled before me. At arrival the owner greeted them and directed them to the room. When my husband got in they all noticed a terrible humid smell and a waterfall (leak) coming down from the ceiling. Not a small leak but a running and constant dripping. The bathroom wasn’t pleasant either, my kids didn’t want to shower at all. I hope the owner can upgrade the property a bit. His customer service is amazing but the property (at least for my family) wasn’t the best

Even better than expected
This place was better than expected! The courtyard is a nice place to hang out to do the organisation part of travel. Breakfast was simple but tasty, fresh fruit, some bread and butter and coffee. The family room was nice, gave us space, with comfortable beds. The only issue I had with the place was our shower had very little water pressure, or heat, but this appears common for the heat on demand showerhead I am commonly seeing in Costa Rica.

We did several communications with them with questions about the hotel and most of them were never answered. The room they gave us on the first floor was not air conditioned as we had asked for. The A/C room was on the second floor and one of the guests is disabled and could not climb stairs. We did love the decor, the colors and the tropical plants.

Cindy, Coral Springs

Pros: This bed and breakfast is very cute, with a "rainforest" at the center of it, complete with birds and a small waterfall and koi pond. The price per night was good, and I liked that a continental breakfast was provided daily from 7-10am. The front desk staff was also helpful and friendly. Cons: I received towels with stains on them for the first couple of days, there was no "do not disturb" or "clean my room, please" signs for my room even though other guests had them, when my room was cleaned, I didn't receive more toilet paper and ran out of it in the middle of the night (I had to go to the front desk and ask for more each time), although we had fresh baked bread for breakfast, breakfast was the same every day: bread, coffee, fruit, and juice.

First of all, I can't say enough good things about the staff and how friendly and professional they are. The hotel is an older property in need of work but they try to make up for it with their customer service and do a great job at it. They are extremely helpful without being overbearing. 10/10 Now the apartment itself.....Old and in great need of maintenance. The wooden floors were spongy and felt like a trampoline. Bathroom was in major need or work and the shower was grungy and needed a good scouring. Hot water heater didn't work well, made it luke warm at best. Bedrooms could really use a fan because the air conditioning doesn't reach them. The listing said there was a coffee pot in room but there was not one there. All in all, if you want an economic place to stay for one night then it will work. The people are A . But be prepared for some issues

There was absolutely nothing unique at this property. Traveling from NYC and arriving to this lodging has me still in disbelief that Expedia took my hard earned money to stay here. No hot water, broken fixtures, a curtain covering a wall for a closet, and the door opens up into the dining room and front desk. This was a horrific experience. I have no trust or confidence anymore when booking.

The bed and breakfast was pretty standard. They did try to have us pay a second time when checking in (we had paid beforehand and I was able to prove that we had). Other than that it was fine. They let us check in early which we really appreciated after our red-eye flight.

Hello, Thank you for booking at Casa Lima, we hope you have had a good stay in our facilities, the category of the room is subject to the one chosen at the time of booking, reservations made by Expedia or its platforms are already prepaid, in case there was a confusion we offer our apologies to try to repeat it.
