Pros: A lovely colonial style hotel. We had a standard room which was small but very nicely presented and comfortable. The bed was extremely comfortable. We absolutely loved the restaurant. It was extremely elegant and the staff were very helpful and made us feel very special. The food was very good and not overly expensive. We were able to leave some of our luggage with the hotel as we went on a river trip for a couple of nights which was extremely useful.

Pros: The food was amazing in the restaurant, though definitely $$$. Loved how comfy the beds were, how super clean it was, loved the service, and really everything was 100%. The staff went out of their way to make sure that when breakfast only opened 30 min before our private transport was due to arrive, that they had everything mad for us quickly for breakfast and it tasted amazing! Had an excellent night of sleep here and they were just the friendliest and the cleanest. Worth it.

Cons: The view from out of the room faced an internal courtyard but as we were only staying for one night it really did not matter and the windows were sufficiently screened to make sure no one could look in.

Cons: The nuns next door were having a crazy loud party. I was assured this is pretty unusual, and in fact the three other times I’ve stayed, it has been incredibly quiet there. Best sleep in San Jose.

8.3 Excellent
Pros: Room was very clean, modern and the bed was comfortable. Very good breakfast. Underground parking. Speedy elevator. Great view from higher floors. Good WiFi and English channels on TV. Quick room service and front desks response to the issues we had with the AC. Receptionist named Joy was nice, friendly and very helpful.
Cons: The water in the pool was freezing and hot tub was barely a “warm tube” and jets didn’t work properly. We called the front desk and they said that they will send someone to fix it but no one ever showed up (we were hanging around for at least one hour since the call). Also, the light in the pool area was off even though we showed up within it’s opening hours. The AC in the room didn’t work properly. Front desk sent someone to fix it but it improved only for couple of minutes and then went back to the previous condition that made our room warmer than a hallway. We didn’t call again because it was late and we didn’t want to change rooms as we were only staying for one night anyways. There was some trash under one of the beds when we checked in. Half of the staff didn’t speak good English. Service at the breakfast was average. Early check ins are not allowed unless you pay $10/h (even when the room is already available).

Pros:
Cons: Yes I checked in by myself , two days later my girlfriend join me . the hotel charge me $400 extra Even that I placed the reservation to two people .
8.8 Excellent
Pros: The hotel is nice and centrally located. The breakfast is good also. I also love the view from the rooms. This was the very first place I stayed in Costa Rica so it will always have a special place in my heart.
Cons: I have had plenty of great experiences at this hotel but always feel like the front desk staff could be more helpful (especially this last time). I asked for them to call me a regular taxi, but they contacted their personal taxi service instead. Apparently he never got back to them but they didn’t bother to let me know or help me find other transportation and I asked several times. I let them know that it was to get to the airport too! I figured it out on my own but it seemed really odd because it seems like a fairly basic thing to ask for. I will probably be back but I will know for the future that I need to take care of those things myself.

Pros: Th room was really clean and nice.
Cons: The mattress had a kind of a hole, so it was not comfortable. I booked a suite because needed to have a meeting, but turned out that i could not use it for it. The waitress at dinner totally ignored our presence, although a couple next to our table got later and got attention.

Cons: The coffee maker in the room was a 2 cup machine however the coffee packet supplied is clearly marked one cup. This is definitely an oversight as this is our second stay here in a couple of weeks and the same situation occurred. The coffee is very weak as a result. The hotel should supply two packets of coffee or a larger packet that makes 2 cups. I requested an additional packet this time and it was delivered to the room promptly. The only faults with the room itself is that the TV picture quality is poor, and the air conditioner is very noisy even on its lowest speed. We were unable to use the ac at night as a result.

The morning front desk attendant spoke English, was very personable and accommodating and called a taxi for me after breakfast.

Cons: As I showed up not prepared, the fact that there was no shampoo or hair dryer was a minor issue. The room was basic so no clock radio, toiletries except bar soap, no hot water in the bathroom sink so I guess I am a bit spoiled in that respect.
4.6 Okay
Pros: Friendly receptionist
Cons: Lousy lighting, shoddy furniture, floorboards warped, a cheap cheap room for to much money. And two bucks day for a safe box key, ridiculous when all hotels provide that free. Breakfast experience not good either: take this rice and beans or eggs and be happy
4.2 Okay
Pros: The breakfast was okay. The second staff member at the front desk (a lady) was very helpful and friendly
Cons: Upon first arriving the guy at the front desk came out to complain, about the car stopping in the front to let me off. No hello no help with bags, not even to help with bags to room. The shower walls was awful, noticeable grimes.
