Featuring a rooftop swimming pool, Studio Hotel offers rooms with free high-speed WiFi and views of the surrounding Central Valley. Set in the centre of Santa Ana, this eco-friendly hotel has an à la carte restaurant. Amazing place, love the art there. The staff is very professional and helpful. Impressed by the air conditioning in the gym which is an issue in most of the hotels. It's a quiet place despite the location on the main street. I must say that it was the only hotel in Costa Rica,where the price you pay corresponds to the service you get.
