I had a lovely stay at Grandpa's Hotel & Restaurant, which is conveniently located close to the Irazu Volcano. The room was spacious and immaculately clean, though the wooden features felt a bit basic. The restaurant served one of the best breakfasts I've enjoyed in Costa Rica, and the staff was super friendly, making me feel welcomed. However, the constant noise from the road nearby detracted from the tranquility I was hoping for at night.
