San José hotels near San Jose Cathedral

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: the room was nice

Cons: the price

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: Prompt room service & friendly staff :) Location is not too far away/too close to downtown and other sites. Pretty ideal. The gym/spa area is really nice. Overall a really great choice for a non-Spanish speaking guest who needs to rest cozily with options

Cons: The hotel restaurant is average and the hotel casino is a tiny box; but honestly, neither of those things mattered much to me at all. I'd definitely stay here again.. and again.. and again.. lol

Cons: Furniture and carpets need updating but was told by manager that refurbishment is planned

Pros: BREAKFAST WAS VERY GOOD

Cons: CONSIDERING ITS A CROWN PLAZA HOTEL, I EXPECTED A LITTLE MORE AESTHETICS AND DETAILS IN FACILITIES

Pros: The price was right for the room and location. Close to where I needed to be. Grocery across the street. Staff was polite and helpful.

Cons: Although it was advertised that there was an airport shuttle when we called to book we were told there was not one. When we arrived we were told there was one with an apology. When we needed to go back to the airport we were told there was not one ???

Pros: The decorations were beautiful and very clean

Cons: The location was iffy and transportation was not free

Cons: Need to change the Restaurant menu. It hasn't changed in over a year.

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.

Pros: Fleur de Lys was a wonderful place to stay in San Jose. The building is beautiful and the rooms are very attractive and comfortable. Having a room with a small balcony was an added bonus; the view was of the city, but the fresh air was delightful. The rooms are not air conditioned, but there is an effective fan that kept it comfortable (in the winter season at least.) Breakfast is served in a lovely dining room area. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the National Museum and the National Theater as well as the hustle/bustle of downtown shops and businesses. We felt very safe walking around during the day and in the early evening.

Cons: There was no mention in the advertising that this hotel does not have an elevator and most rooms are on the second and third floors. It was not a problem for us, but it should be mentioned in the information section.

Pros: Staff very friendly and helpful, comfortable and clean bed, location of the hotel,

Cons: Parking, tv not working,

Pros: We loved this hotel it was just a fun place. The staff was very helpful. Arranged a couple of tours for us which we enjoyed. The bar had things going on and pretty good food. It is a happy place I would recommend it to anyone.

Cons: The beds could be more comfortable.

Pros: I liked all the installations their designs. The attention of the staff very good. The breakfast they gave us was very deliciuos.

Cons: The only thing I did not like that when they walk on the second floor the steos are heard and I can no longer sleep.

Pros: Daniel at the reception was very helpful and tried to speak German. He was really kind. The breakfast is delicious and has a good variety.

Cons: Room had windows to a patio inside the hotel, not really fresh air

Pros: Staff is very nice and helpful. The place is very clean.

Cons: The hotel is very old and thereforw pretty noisy. The facilities are not the best due to the age of the place.

Pros: Loved this hotel it was walking distance to everything and the staff and hotel were amazing

Pros: Clean (like, immaculate!), pretty and comfortable. The perfect place to spend a night or two. The staff was friendly, the food was good, and the atmosphere was very peaceful. Walking distance to shops, downtown squares and panaderias.

Cons: There is a train that runs behind the property a couple times a day. It's not too loud and we never heard it at night, but important to note for people who are really noise sensitive.

Pros: Nothing to Like

Cons: They over charge you when you get there for stuff that you didnt even hear about it.

Pros: The cleaning lady and the staff were nice people.

Cons: I paid almost 200€ for 3 nights in a windowless room...even with that, the room will not get totally dark at night. The elevator was so slow in showing up that I had to take the stairs (to the 5th floor) most of the time. Gym was terrible, a dungeon, windowless hole in the basement. Very overrated hotel, it shouldn't charge so much for such poor quality and service.

Pros: Over night staff

Cons: Need to allow guest with out charge

Pros: It was surprisingly very comfortable.

Cons: Not too much....

Pros: Excellent location close to city center, I ordered the junior suite and it was really good, very good breakfast. To summarize - great value for money

Pros: I liked everything about the hotel. We did not eat the breakfast though, it was $15. We walked two blocks and had a delicious local meal for $3.

Cons: The very tny parking garage.

Pros: Continental breakfast was excellent- however after breakfast there was no restaraunt available

Cons: Slow elevators

Pros: Good breakfast. Spacious room. Magnificient view.

Cons: Carpet in the room was wet - probably of prior cleaning and insufficient drying time.

Pros: Location.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Best Location you've ever found, clean room and smelled very good, the staff was really nice, best value!!!

Cons: The fact that we couldn't stay more time, we had to go back to our home town.

Pros: The facility of the Hotel.

Pros: The breakfast is the hotel's highlight. The rooms are clean, the common spaces are cozy and clean. Staff has been clear and helpful. Wi-fi works remarkably well considering the costarican standard

Pros: The hotel is very unique and is very quaint. It is very clean and the people there are very nice. I liked it and it was very reasonable, so I would definitely stay again. The area of the hotel is very close to everything.

Cons: The walls are pretty thin, so the outside noises and conversations seem to carry. This would still not keep me from visiting again. It has a lot more plus that minus. The hotel could use some new mattresses for better comfort.

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!

Pros: Breackfast was great! Huge and realy comfortable bed!

Cons: Not much. A tiney bit closer to the center of the city would have been nice, but thats really needpicky:)

Pros: Food was good!

Cons: Bed mattress needs replacing

Pros: Beautiful place and centrally located.

Cons: We have stayed a few times and every single time there are no bathroom floor towels and when showering, the floor gets very wet and slippery (in two different rooms we stayed at). My partner slipped and fell into the shower because of the extremely wet floor. We then proceeded to use one of the towels provided to place on the floor to not slip and to not be standing on a super wet floor, but when asking for 1 additional towel to dry ourselves, we had to pay 1$ per towel. Which I think given that there are no bathroom floor mats and it gets super wet everywhere when showering, is a bit over the top for the rate that we are already paying. The breakfast is only until 8:45 am now so you have to be aware to get up early and not get there late. It would have been great to have a little more time for breakfast at least until 10am to be able to enjoy the morning a little more.

Pros: Fabulous breakfast in a beautiful garden with exotic birds and squirrels. The hotel restaurant was amazing and great value. Beautiful food and attention to detail.
