Hotel Dengan WiFi di San Jose, Costa Rica

Very nice Hotel conveniently located close to downtown San Jose. Major bus station 2 minutes from hotel. 30 minutes to SJO Airport. Clean,comfortable,great food,great staff,great amenities including Gym, pool, hot-tub restaurant, bar, travel agent and convenience store. Safe and secure and free onsite parking. WIFI throughout hotel.

The city view was the best part, we got picked up from the hotel for a day tour. Tour guide said we’re in the new buildings area but it’s still unsafe at night so don’t go walking around, but the hotel itself was five to ten minutes from everything else, in the day we did walk around and felt safe, the park is right next to it which was nice to see and of course the stadium, cleanliness and guest services were great accommodating, we had our anniversary dinner at their restaurant and it had great views but service was slow and food was only okay, could’ve/should’ve eaten somewhere else, the best part was the pool on the highest floor, the top four floors were apartments, but the pool is on the highest of their floor, the jacuzzi wasn’t warmed and they warmed us that it wasn’t, but the pool itself was nice to swim in, stayed there for a little over an hour before going to dinner, would definitely go book again

The food was excellent, the staff were nice and it was very easy to get taxis from this location. However I would not go back as the lighting in the rooms was terrible. It wasn’t just my room as someone else complained while I was waiting to check-in. There was not enough light to apply makeup in the bathroom and the bedroom was even worse. I must say the staff did their best to remedy the situation and they sent someone to replace a dead bulb in the bathroom. They’re all like 15 watt bulbs and there aren’t enough light fixtures in the rooms. The carpets are a mess on the first floor to which I was assigned. Lots of nicer hotels in San Jose.

Place is about half an hour taxi ride from the airport. We originally booked it since the listing here said check in was 1400, but were later emailed that check-in was actually 1500 and when we arrived at 1500, the host said they aren't finished cleaning it and we had to wait in the lobby. The room was nice, although we didn't find the bathroom to be entirely clean. Included breakfast only consisted of coffee, fruit bowl and toast with jams.

We felt that for an upscale hostel, this place was on a whole, a great experience. My only suggestion is that the rooms need more ventilation. Our 4 person dorm room had a tiny window blocked by the beds. Putting a vent fan in the window would solve this issue. Otherwise, for what it is we loved our 2-night stay here. This was at the end of our 3 week trip and had been to many towns and places across the country, I'd say we met the most friends here and had the best time. The cafe could use more larger/common tables but we were able to meet people easily regardless. They have activities and events to encourage interaction as well as a bar and pizza oven. While these amenities are overpriced, they were convenient and similar to other hotel restaurants/cafes. We didn't feel the staff was pushy at all and if we just wanted to hang out in the cafe we weren't bothered and didn't feel forced to buy something. (and probably because of this, we usually did buy food or drinks) The location was good enough - we could walk to the central market / pedestrian mall in 10 minutes. It's walkable (during daytime) from the 7-10 bus station and the Tuasa bus to the airport. The co-working space we felt was a good value, and fantastic. High powered wifi can support video meetings and it's just across the street. Also somewhat social and a good environment to work. The staff and regular patrons were amazing and we felt that we had new friends as soon as we arrived. The place had a warm feeling that I can't quite describe, created by both the staff and the guests. We didn't want to leave.

Stayed here for a total of 6 days before and after a group tour. Rooms vary: I had 426 and 405. The latter had no window and felt a little claustophobic, despite its size. Lift was out of action (and I sensed this was not just a temporary issue) and, on a few occasions, room card did not work, which was inconvenient. However, on the positive side, beds were very comfortable indeed and the breakfast (Costa Rican) was excellent (and not the same each day). Breakfast staff and the evening bar staff were all very friendly and helpful.

房東太太特別善良，樂於助人，她幫我安排了在哥斯達黎加的行程，我特別感謝她。 我在哥斯達黎加的旅行非常愉快，這個酒店旁邊邊有一家本地的餐館，非常好吃，我回中國後，都會嘗試做那三道菜，一個就是紅豆飯，一個是燉牛肉，另外一個是辣椒小菜，都非常美味，特別適合作為減脂健身餐

The Hotel Lobby is nice but the rooms are old and with a damp smell. Not enough sockets next to bed to charge phone or devices. Hired a city tour with the operator that works with them that was way too expensive for a 2 hour ride around the city with almost no important stops. It was supposed to include entrance fees and we did not go to any place that had an entrance fee. Better to book tours with some other agency.

This hotel has potential, and location is good if this is the area you need to be. Lots of restaurants nearby, and beside the main road. However, staff needs some training on Customer Service. Some staff are wonderful to be clear, but some have basic training issue. The front desk requires service training on handling guests. Examples: talking to another guest for 5-8 mins only to revert back to me and telling me no receipt because system is down; you could have told me immediately instead of letting me wait. I called up for my laundry, was advised they will check and return my call- after 20 mins, no call, and I have to call again only to be told that I need to go down to pick it up since I have to pay first at the reception (my bill was paid already in advance by my colleague), but hey, am not escaping, you have a copy of my credit card, and my check out is still the ff day. I can follow process, but the reception could have said it in a nicer way- am a paying guest in a Hilton brand, not some hostel paying 20$ a night.

The best hotel I’ve ever been privileged enough to stay at. Barcelo San Jose this Gorgeous building, and it only gets more breathtaking when you walk in. High quality rooms and high quality service. Excellent property and very convenient to USC activities. Front desk staff is extremely efficient, pleasant and helpful. Property is clean and has a fantastic old time charm.

I’ve stayed in a ton of low-budget hotels and hostels, but this is the first time I’ve ever just swallowed the money that I pre-paid for a place and left for a different hotel. I know you get what you pay for - in this case a really basic room with one tiny bedside lamp in a seedy part of town, and we were ok with that, but the room just reeked. After opening the windows and it not getting any better, I went back downstairs and quietly asked if we could see another room if one was available. The desk guy had a long conversation with the manager in the office behind, took another key and followed me back to the room to check. “It could just be the cleaning product we use in all the bathrooms” he said. “I’m pretty sure it’s more than that - it’s really bad” I said. “You can feel it burning in your throat”. “I’m sorry, the manager told me you could not see another room”, he replied, and left still holding the key to a different room in his hand. My friend then went to check out the shared bathrooms on the floor. “They smell fine” he said. So I booked a room in another place nearby (Fleur de Lys - a bit more expensive but clean, comfortable, with a super friendly front desk). As we were waiting with our bags back down to the lobby, the desk guy eventually appears again, with a reluctant “You don’t have to go, I will show you the other room.” Ugh. Finally, you have to be both buzzed into the place and buzzed out, and if the front desk guy is off doing something else, be prepared to wait. And wait... Pretty sad place.

Perfect hotel

Nice hotel and rooms very comfortable. The only issue is the huge traffic jam every morning to get out of the area.

Great comfortable rooms , lovely pool area, awesome breakfast and it is included. Love the way you could walk to bars and restaurants all surrounding the hotel. Santa Ana is one of our favorite neighborhoods. Safe clean and walkable. There are amazing restaurants and shopping right across the street even a cool market!
