San José hotels near Parque Nacional

Pros: The modern clean appearance

Cons: The location

Pros: Ok so the staff is so nice but room 414 had little to no water pressure and trickle of hot water...... I asked the front to change rooms but because they were full no possible.... So sucked it up and took Luke warm shower for two days.... Manager said he would comp a dinner at hotel eatery .... Didn't happen and no one seemed to know how it would work. Bed was comfortable location is great for San Jose . My best advice to anyone staying in Costa Rica is get out of San Jose and see the countryside unless u want to be in New York meets Tijuana

Cons: Staff is super nice Breakfast is great Bed was comfortable Location is superb although good luck finding the entrance of you drive in from airport alow 2 hrs for 10km No kidding Traffic is something out of a comic book u will understand if you see it first hand Costa Ricans in general are so nice honest and hard working people enjoy

Pros: Save your money and spend it somewhere else it smelled bad the people were rude we paid extra for upgrade the AC did not work breakfast was late the shuttle to airport was late. It was supposed to be free but cost 30.00 I'm trying to find something good to say about it Sorry I can't .

Pros: The excellent staff and superb facilities

Pros: Location location location! Couldn't have been in a better location. So close to all the tourist spots and good restaurants. San Jose is surprisingly a great city to explore on foot. It certainly has its gems. The staff at the hotel was AMAZING and super friendly and helpful. The included breakfast on the top floor was certainly a treat each morning.

Pros: The staff was fantastic and could not have been more kind or helpful, especially with our toddler. The breakfasts were delicious and the evening happy hour unexpected and nice.

Cons: I don't really have any complaints.

Pros: location was ok

Cons: the menu was rather limited, not much of a vegetarian or vegan selection. Gluten free bread was not a possibility. Mini bar empty except for coffee or still water

Pros: We really enjoyed our stay. It had a great location.

Pros: Breakfast was awesome and the team was nice and helpful.

Cons: nothing that I can think of.

Pros: Awesome location, right in the heart of San Jose. Walking distance to the major downtown sights, like the theatres, cathedrals, and markets. The restaurant is great, and the lobby is well kept.

Cons: Rooms are run down, and not in the best condition. We had to change rooms because of bugs in the first. AC would have been nice.

Pros: The breakfast was very good - the staff were very helpful

Pros: Breakfast was so good.

Cons: With that small TV you cannot watch anything cause it is just too tiny and the sound is terrible too.

Pros: the breakfast was okay. location is okay if you're staying a night and have to go to the airport the next day.

Cons: The front desk staff lacks professionalism. On one occasion, I was hoping to use the phone to book a tour. The front desk attendant said that he knew a better company and dialed a number and my friend didn't really ask for specifics and booked the tour. As a side note, that company that starts with the letter "M" was the worst experience I had in Costa Rica in terms of safety while driving. Not only did the front desk attendant have the audacity to refer us to this "M" company, when I called to ask what the company's name was he told me to act like we asked for the number and not tell anyone that he had referred us to them. This is not even the tip of the iceberg. On one occasion, my friend and I were getting a couple of drinks and since most people go out at night, we were called "squares" in Spanish for staying in and drinking at the hotel instead of outside. We found two cockroaches in the hotel which is normal since the front door is always open, but upon finding a third cockroach a day later, I managed to keep it under a glass and left it for the cleaning staff to discard because I forgot to do it. When we returned later that same night and the room was cleaned, we were not given a new glass. The cleaning staff rinsed the glass and left it on top of the desk. I mean, who does that? As a side note, the cockroach was about two inches big and touched the surface of the cup.

Cons: Would happily stay again Good nights sleep Breakfast was lovely too

Pros: Very unique and historical

Cons: Not too much....

Pros: Location is perfect,nice stuff in the reception

Cons: The very tny parking garage.

Pros: This is a lovely hotel with plenty of character and close to food and parks. We would definitely stay here again!

Pros: The hotel staff greeted us and seemed genuinely glad to see us. They were very helpful about seeing some sights. The property was a cool old mansion converted into a hotel.

Pros: The room is big, the bathroom is ok. It was quiet cold during night. Maybe it is not too comfortable during cold nights.

Cons: The breakfast has very limited options. Yogurt only kefir. You receive a small portion of fruits. No cheese, only butter and jelly (homemade, good ones). But you can have the typical Costa Rica gallo pinto, eggs and patacones de plátanos. We stayed at a room with balcony. The window of many rooms opens to the corridor. There is a problem if you are with big luggage or if you have any walking difficulty. The hotel has no lift and many stairs.

Pros: Only location, that's it.

Cons: The room was dirty. There was a lot of someone's hair on bathroom floor and tile and it was really gross. Bathroom towels were not really clean. The owner of the property was also rude and he was so impatient. Breakfast was basic, eggs, toasts, coffee, jam, nothing special. Luckily I only spent there one night. Only location was good, really close to downtown San Jose.

Pros: Friendly helpful staff in front, especially David. Convenient location in San Jose. Good breakfast from a choice of three. Comfortable room for the price. The owner Tomas was very nice and helpful.

Pros: Clean, safe, comfortable, and friendly and professional staff. Has gym for a quick workout. You can tell owner takes pride in his property. Breakfast is what owner likes to eat every morning and his wife makes the green hot sauce from scratch. Ended up staying three days instead of one.

Pros: The gardens are beautiful the bell hops and restaurant wait staff are nice

Cons: Housekeeping didn’t leave enough facecloths and towels, glasses etc. however front desk would get them upon request. First week we felt ignored in buffet for our requests for more coffee- once we waited 20 minutes and watched servers pour coffee for others before they came to us. Or worse- server would ask if we wanted more coffee and then not return. We made a comment about this and voila great service after that.

Pros: Facilities, fantastic breakfast and lovely staff.

Cons: Room was noisy from road traffic

Pros: There was a piece of trim installed on the floor in the walking path all the way down a hallway. It was unmarked and I fell and rolled my ankle. I am in pain and I am very upset about it.
