Casa Kitus
A quiet residential budget bed at the low end
About this stay
This is the residential side of Montelimar rather than the museum quarter, a street where the neighbourhood minisuper a minute away does more trade than any restaurant and the evening noise is dogs and passing scooters rather than traffic. The house is small and the price is at the bottom of the range for the whole district, with a rating of nine out of ten from thirty guests. Nothing is bundled: the listing carries no breakfast, no pool and no air conditioning, which in the Central Valley matters less than it would at sea level because the nights cool down on their own. Deli Top is a seven-minute walk for food. The Children's Museum is eight minutes by taxi and the airport twenty-nine, which is quicker than most of the downtown hotels manage.
- Small budget guesthouse
- Residential setting
- Minisuper one minute away
- Short airport transfer
Our take
I would consider Casa Kitus for simple, budget-minded lodging in a residential part of San José, with the Minisuper la Macha a minute away on foot and Deli Top seven minutes on foot. The Children's Museum is eight minutes by taxi and the airport twenty-nine minutes by taxi. The 9.0 rating across thirty reviews is solid. The listing gives few amenities, so if you want a pool, a restaurant or hotel services, I would look elsewhere.
- ✓Shop at the Minisuper la Macha a minute away, there is no breakfast included and it is the closest food on the street.
- ✓Budget for taxis into the museum quarter, the walk is not practical and the ride is eight minutes.
- ✓Read the thirty reviews before booking, the score is high but the sample is still small.
Why we love it
- One of the lowest rates in Montelimar
- A nine out of ten guest score
- A quiet residential street away from traffic
- Twenty-nine minutes to the airport
Why guests love itCasa Kitus is a small budget guesthouse on a residential street, where the Minisuper la Macha is the nearest landmark, a minute away on foot. Deli Top is seven minutes on foot, the Children's Museum eight minutes by taxi and the airport twenty-nine minutes by taxi. A 9.0 rating across thirty reviews is solid for a guesthouse. I would book it for simple, affordable lodging in a residential area, not for hotel facilities.
