San José hotels in Hospital

Pros: Very nice people, beautiful beautiful hotel

Cons: Minor, but shower head left room for improvement

Pros: Our room was comfortable with double doors opening on to a little planted area with a small fountain. All very nice. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet, so we slept well. Everywhere was very clean with wood and tiled floors. Bathroom was small with a shower over the bath and no bidet. There is a large and attractive restaurant with both internal and courtyard tables.

Cons: This is a city centre hotel so outside space is bound to be limited, but other than a small enclosed “terrace” there is no outside space. There is a small seating area in the restaurant but it is dark and not welcoming. Carpets in the corridors need replacing. My major criticism would however be the price of food and wine in the restaurant. The food is fine without being great, but is twice as expensive as it should be. Service was again fine rather than good. When I’ve spent $65 on a bottle of Argentinian wine (!), I don’t think I should have to pour it myself. Curiously we got the impression that most of the staff left at 21.00. Service is probably better if you eat earlier. In truth, San Jose is a tatty unattractive city (although the three principal museums are excellent) and I would be in no hurry to return. If I did I would stay here again, but I would not look when I signed the restaurant bill!

Pros: We had dinner in the restaurant and it was excellent. All of us liked it.

Cons: When we checked in the person who met us at the counter seemed uneasy with our request to stow our suitcases and arrange someone to pick us up at the rental car drop off. (Our suite was not ready, but it was early.) He handed us off to a younger man (Daniel, I believe) who was extremely helpful and pleasant. We were not offered the fresh juice cocktail that was offered to other patrons as they checked in and we wondered why the first agent didn't do that.

Pros: Greeted warmly Parked outside Given an upgrade Room lovely Character property Beautiful plants everywhere Period photographs Staff great Breakfast delicious Dinner excellent

Cons: No pool

Pros: Everything

Pros: The hotel was personal and individual

Cons: Outside the hotel was not in an attractive area.

Pros: comfortable location close to tica bus station

Pros: Liked the location, quiet and near restaurants.

Cons: The $5 bottle of water at Reception... they should not take advantage of customers on a a necessity item that they should really be providing for free, at least a small bottle for free, or not marking it up to a ridiculous price!

Pros: Comfy beds Good shower Great boutique hotel close to the park Close to car hire companies offices

Cons: Better coffee at breakfast

Pros: I liked that it was Costa Rican owned so the money I spent stayed in the country. This is why I chose this hotel instead of the Radisson... however I was disappointed over all with the experience

Cons: The service was subpar at the front desk. I paid for a upgrade, which I thought meant I would have a fridge, but it didn't. What I got was a slightly separated second sitting area which had a small couch AND what they described as a 'complimentary stocked snacks and beverages for purchase", not at all worth the extra I paid. The breakfast wasn't very good. Perhaps the most distressing thing was... the safe. I went to use the safe but there was no instructions. Since I travel a lot, I thought I could figure it out. Finally I called the front desk he said he would send somebody. I tried to insist that nobody needed to be bothered and he could just tell me over the phone. He said no he can't because I need a code. I was a bit confused because it didn't seem right that they would issue the code to me. I Waited 15 minutes, but I was meeting a tour and needed to go. I called down again, this time requesting that they just tell me how and again I was told no and that he would send the guy. I explained I was in a hurry so it would be best if he just gave me the instructions, again he told me no. A few minutes later a guy showed up holding a piece of paper with English instructions and I thought he was going to hand them to me, when I reached for them he pulled it away and walked inside. He stood in front of the safe and asked me for the code I wanted to use. I told him, no I will put it in thanks. So he stepped aside but was watching me put the code in. I asked him to leave. There was no reason for them to send someone or to input the code. The instructions were easy to understand. Close door Input 6 digit code and press #. To open input 6 digit code. Seemed shady. I left the instructions inside the safe for the next person. Curious if safes have been compromised before...

Pros: Spacious

Cons: Inconsistent with bottles of water and welcome drinks
