Casa Zafiro B & B
Free breakfast and a kitchen at guesthouse prices
About this stay
Calle 29 runs through the residential belt east of the museum quarter, where the gardens are private, the trees are mature and the traffic thins out after dark. The house is small and run as a bed and breakfast, and the combination it offers at this price is unusual: free breakfast, air conditioning and kitchen access in part of the rooms, none of which the cheaper hostels in Montelimar manage together. Free Wi-Fi runs throughout and accessible facilities are listed. Casa China Restaurant is six minutes on foot, the Pre-Columbian Gold Museum nine minutes by taxi, and the airport thirty-two minutes with a shuttle available. The rating is nine point eight out of ten, though it rests on seven reviews, so it reads as promising rather than settled.

Our take
Casa Zafiro B&B is a small bed and breakfast on Calle 29 in Montelimar, rated 9.8 by seven guests, with free breakfast, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, kitchen access in some rooms and accessible facilities. I recommend it for a short city stay before or after a flight, since an airport shuttle covers the transfer and the Pre-Columbian Gold Museum is nine minutes away by taxi. The review count is small, and there is no pool or restaurant.
- ✓Request a room with kitchen access if you are staying more than two nights, only some of them have it.
- ✓Take the airport shuttle rather than a taxi, the transfer is thirty-two minutes and the street is hard to describe to a driver.
- ✓Treat the nine point eight rating as encouraging rather than proven, it comes from seven guests so far.
Why we love it
- Free breakfast at budget prices
- Kitchen access in some rooms
- Air conditioning, rare at this level
- A quiet residential street east of the centre
Why guests love itCasa Zafiro B&B is a small, practical base for a family spending a few nights in San José: breakfast is included, rooms have air conditioning, and some have kitchen access for simple meals or bottles. The airport shuttle covers the transfer of about thirty-two minutes, which helps after a long flight with children. The Pre-Columbian Gold Museum, nine minutes away by taxi, is the outing I would plan for curious kids. Seven reviews only, so treat the score with care.
