San José hotels near Simon Bolivar Zoo

Cons: Don't leave the hotel after dark.

Cons: Unfortunately the remodeling construction was loud in the mornings if you wanted to sleep in. And although the location was central in San Jose with easy access to shops and taxi's the street noise from vendors yelling sometimes was irritating.

Cons: I did not like the streets surrounding the hotel

Cons: For such a modern and refined hotel, we were surprised to find the window would not lock shut! Though we were up high, this "insecurity" may cause anxiety for some; for others, like us, we prefer to have the window open at night. Our bed was also surprisingly hard while among new bathroom facilities when also in a room with new bathroom facilities.

Cons: Nothing, good experience

Cons: Overall, I liked the hotel but I did not like the pool area. There were always meetings being held in that area constantly so I didnt have a chance to swim. The pool was small regardless. I did not like the restaurant or the service very well. I would sit down and 20 minutes would pass by without a waiter approaching me and I would sit where they could clearly see me. I then have to flag them down to put my order in. The food was okay and pricey. You could do better at McDonald's in taste and price. The free breakfast there was very nice. Good assortment of fruit, cereal, yogurt, meat, bread, egss, juice, and milk. Location around the area is not the safest. As a foreigner, I do not recommend others to walk alone. Use a taxi.

Cons: No complaints.

Cons: No genuine complaints. Trying to think what I'd have preferred to be different, the hallways and bathroom were less brightly lit than I'd like, but not bad. The hotel is very much a European style and not intended to look local in any way. My teens were the youngest people I saw there, and it's not set up for young kids. Location is great if you plan to spend time in San Jose but not terribly convenient to tourist attractions...which is true of any hotel in San Jose.

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

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

Cons: Dinner was very disappointing. I ordered a beef casado, and it was the worst one I have had in Costa Rica (after 9 months of travel). I'm not too sure it was beef, and the beans were not tasty.

Cons: It is NOT a Casino. That is very misleading. The description of the location was misleading too. It said that the hotel was 5 minutes from the downtown Center which was false. It is near the central park but the hotel is about 0.5km into an isolated street ending.

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.

Cons: The fact that you could hear a conversation four rooms away.

Cons: Our room didn't have a window. Just a glass door leading to a shaft.

Cons: Bed was hard. TV did not work well. No microwave. Thin walls so you can hear everything. No washcloths provided. Bottom entrance closes too early.

Cons: Room felt old and dirty. Bed was very uncomfortable. There was no hot water in the shower. Very disappointed with this place.

Cons: The beds was a little hard, however it didn't stop me from sleeping.

Cons: Está muy viejo las habitaciones para el precio

Cons: Very noisy in hallways late night and very early in the morning...staff slamming doors and talking loudly without regard for people sleeping.

Cons: The bed was broken.

Cons: The airbed we slept in did not stay inflated

Cons: Racist security. Weird layout. Bad food.

Cons: Bed was hard and uncomfortable. Large curtain would not cover window to outside pool area.

Cons: My room smelled like wet dog when we first entered.

Cons: Room was a bit run down.

Cons: * Need more taxi on stand by.

Cons: The Restaurant food was poor

Cons: Too old

Cons: The AC did not work so well in our room and kind of made a buzzing sound most of the night. The shower was busted in that the handle that turns faucet to shower didn't work properly and when you ran the shower it was still coming out of the faucet, thus interfering with the shower pressure. I did mention this to management the following morning, but they were unable to resolve the situation. The sink also was full blast when turned on which meant the water was getting all over the floor. These are minimal issues and I'm sure not every room is like this.

Cons: On site bar /restaurant was a bit pricey.

Cons: Our room smelt like mold. I think it recently flooded and they didn't properly take care of it. When we approached the guy at the front desk, he acted super bugged that we asked to swap rooms. He then went on to tell us there were no rooms available and he couldn't do anything for us. Also, when we checked in we were told the water was complimentary and 5 days later we got a bill for $90 for water. We talked to the guy at the front desk and he said it's only good for up to 1 water. He never told us that when we checked in and he wasn't going to do anything to help us out.

Cons: The facilities.

Cons: The front desk staff, concierge and some other staff we ran into we're not very friendly. A friend dropped us off and we chatted for a few minutes by the car. As we were walking into the hotel, security came over to tell us that no one could park out front for more than five minutes. My boyfriend said it was only a few to which the security guy said he could check the tapes. There's no need to be rude to your customers. Pool was cold, hot tub was tepid. Fixtures in bathrooms are cheap and falling apart. Location was a bit scary.
