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: 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

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.

Very clean, well kept, very friendly and accommodating staff. The breakfast bar is well stocked, lots of fresh fruit, good coffee.
Cons: If you expect air conditioned rooms, you won’t find much of it. There are ceiling fans, though. The mattresses are a bit hard.

Cons: exe hotel was the worst hotel I've been during my travel on central america: Claustrophobic rooms with no window and low ceilings; The cleanliness of the rooms is very bad. Too much dust on the carpet. During the two first days the towels were completly old and broken. When we talked about this they said that the problem was in the laundry.. Breakfast very bad. Fresh bread disappear in the first 20 mn and they don't put more. If you ask for fresh bread they say " we don't have more" without tryng to solve the reclaim; Staff in the breakfast always sitting in the balcony using their mobilies. They don' t give any attention to clients. Tables are dirty and full of leftover food and staff playng with their mobiles; Internet is terrible. Forget if you think you have good signal in the rooms. My recommendation to the hotel managers is: look at the staff and the way how they behave; profissionalize the staff they don't know anything about tourism; My recommendation to tourist: choose another hotel

Pros: nothingh
Cons: I have booked a 4 stars hotel with obviously faked great reviews and allegedly a good gym. This place barely qualifies for 3 stars. There is nothing you can expect from a 4 star hotel. Following issues: - I was given a "quiet room" with no windows; - no remote control of the old and very noisy a/c; - furniture is overused and old, towels are washed out and old; - no warm water in the shower; - the room was very noisy you could hear everything outside; - the staff doesn't understand what you ask for (change the room-there is no window amd the a/c is too loud, do not disturb etc.); - official checkout was up to 12:30pm, the maid started and have been knocking at my door at 11:30 and has been asking me out for several times; - the so called gym is a tiny room with no ventilation which is directly connected to saunas (what a genius plan) and is therefore sticky as hell, you cant breathe there staying, not to mention running on the only one old, bruising and swinging, instabile treadmill; - the gym equipment is very poor; - reasonable dumbbell weights (like 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, 17.5 kg) are missing, but there are dumbells 30-50kg; - old absolutely torn apart, disgusting "yoga pads"

Cons: Ants in the room- although it's a thing in Costa Rica, and they took care of it as soon I as I reported it; the pool is very small and only 2 lounge chairs available, which were old and sagging; when rooms were vacant doors were left open... which I only mention because if I had my kids with me I would feel like that could be dangerous...

Pros: Friendly front staff but not at breakfast. Was obviously quite a grand hotel in the past looking at the wooden fittings.
Cons: The area whilst central is a bit run down with pavements which are lethal due to brocken sets and missing inspection covers. The small double bed was pushed against one wall. The en-suite was separated from the room by a not full height to get light and air from the outside window. Breakfast was poor. The hotel has lots of old features but is a bit down at heal. The swimming pool was cloudy so the dolphin mosaic was obscured so we didn’t use. Plastic flowers in room

Cons: So far, best Hostel I've stayed in San Jose. Staff is really nice, they stick to the schedule (strange for ticos) and they are very helpful. The part of the Hostel I knew, very clean, and the best part is, that if you want to sleep after a long party night, it is calm and quite to do so. Breakfast great!! The only personal issue for me was that I had to pay extra for some fruit, so I could have what I consider my complete breakfast, that at the end, I shouldn't have to, because my roommate woke 5min after schedule and missed his breakfast, so , I could have had his for free (Cristal ball not working properly that day lol). For sure and until further notice, from now on everytime that I go to San Jose to run some errands or to have a fun day far from home, I will stay there. That way I will know if I have access to the kitchen, to cook my meals like lunch and dinner if I'm in the premises.

Pros: The eggs were not fluffy. The fry-plate was not really warm enough for either pancakes or omelettes, and so to hurry the cooking, the chef repeatedly pressed on both the omelettes and pancakes I watched being cooked. Nothing fluffy came from that process.

Pros: The hotel was very clean, great great staff, very Costa Rican celebrating the mascaras culture. It was 5 converted houses with lots of warm wood and coziness.Excellent full breakfast with omelette bar. Not a hotel chain so I particularly loved it. It was maybe a 20 minutes walk to down town. But you passed through very interesting sectors of the city and saw city life.

Pros: My sister and I stayed one night at Hotel Aranjuez. The service was amazing and room was clean and comfortable. We were nervous because we hadn't heard good things about San Jose, but we felt safe and welcomed as soon as we arrived at the hotel. The receptionist gave us great recommendations for restaurants and activities, and the hotel was close to most major sights. I would definitely recommend staying at Hotel Aranjuez!

Cons: Grab your earplugs with you or otherwise you’ll have a fun night thinking the cars are driving through your room. It was a disaster, I was hoping to recover from the long flight.. however the room was not isolated at all.

5.8 Okay
Pros:
Cons: Watch out for the fact that the hotel Standard room has no window to the outside. They wanted me to pay $80 more per night (which would more than double my rate) to upgrade to get one. They did move me to a new room when I asked them kindly to find another one at the same rate. This room was also subpar. Low ceiling, old furniture, shower that didn’t drain, and walls so thin that I could hear the kid screaming next door as if she were in my room. So terrible.
7.5 Good
Pros: Nice comfortable room, good location for museums and downtown sites
Cons: Terrible breakfast and not many restaurants around the hotel
5.4 Okay
Pros: Breakfast in the adjacent restaurant was nice.
Cons: Room size, saw on our checkin that a free upgrade was given but the room was still tiny and very poor. The shower was horrific, no pressures and went hot and cold constantly.
6.2 Good
Pros: The staff
Cons: When we got to the room we didn't have power for the lights or the ac so I called downstairs (the phone worked) and they informed me you have to insert your keycard in a slot by the door to get power. Weird but ok, I'll play along. After a couple hours of trying to get the ac to work and trying to sleep without it, I ended up calling the desk and having them take a look. They couldn't figure it out and moved us to a room right next door, which was an upgrade. The staff was great and helpful with the situation but the new ac didn't work much better. All in all, not a bad hotel. Great location, there was free breakfast we didn't get to enjoy, they opened my bottle of wine, and took great care of my complaint. However, there was a lot of construction which was a little weird to deal with and the ac is a huge thing for me. From the north and my house is constantly freezing.

Pros: The scrambled eggs were crusty and over cooked anytime I went. At six and eight am they were the same. There was only one kind of juice. It was like the bug juice I got at camp as a kid, without the bugs. Housekeeping was the only thing that excelled. They did so in an antiquated building. The tv worked most of the time and the ac was cold. There was no safe in the room, but a lockbox was available at the front desk. The DR food and service were substandard.

The tv worked most of the time and the ac was cold. There was no safe in the room, but a lockbox was available at the front desk. The DR food and service were substandard.
Cons: The daytime front desk staff lied to me whenever I asked a question. She sent me the wrong direction to get to the zoo. She said I could make local calls from the room. I could not and there was a charge when she made it for me(to call a taxi). She told me I could have my laundry done on Sunday. I could not. These were all inconveniences, but at check in I asked repeatedly to not charge my credit card as I would psy cash at check out. When I inquired at checkout I was told the card had been billed.

6.7 Good
Pros: The staff were generally helpful, and the hotel itself is very safe (which is important, since it is in an unsafe neighborhood).
Cons: Upon checkout, they charged us for 2 mini-bar items that we *definitely* did not consume (trust me, we paid very close attention to what we used). Since it only came out to a few more extra dollars, I can't imagine the hotel management has a policy of intentionally doing this, so perhaps the maids swiped the items or something. What *does* seem intentional, however, is how they squeezed a few more colones out of us by basically "double taxing" us. by rounding up the cost of each item, applying the 13% VAT - even though the items were explicitly priced so that the VAT could be easily applied without rounding. For example, the beers were priced at ₡1,061.95 each; this rather specific number is designed so that after the 13% tax is applied, it comes out to an even ₡1,200. What the hotel staff did instead was to round up the cost to ₡1,100, then apply the tax to bring it to ₡1,243. Again, the actual amount is somewhat trivial: the incorrect rounding added a total of about $2 USD to our bill, and combined with the two drinks we were incorrectly charged for, we were overcharged by only around $6 or $7 USD - hardly the scam of the year or anything (especially given that, for a minibar, the prices were very reasonable). But it was still pretty irritating, as they obviously rely on the fact that visitors hardly want to go through the effort of arguing over such a small amount when they are checking out and want to be on their way. In addition, it makes me wonder where else they may be pulling this stunt - for example, for all I know they may have added a drink to my bar tab, etc.
