San Jose hotellia

Plussat: I had an accident, as a result of which my foot was in a cast. The staff was very accommodating for this, even putting a chair in the shower so I could shower more easily!

Plussat: The property was very serene and peaceful

Miinukset: I loved everything about this place

Plussat: The hostel was very aesthetically nice :)

Miinukset: At the airport when they do pickup , you might want to have a sign with the hostels name on on it too

Plussat: A very calm and clean hostel. Great facilities, with a chilled vibe. A relaxing first place to stay after a long trip to Costa Rica from London.

Plussat: Clean, great kitchen and chill out area, probably one of the nicest hostels i've stayed in. Great place to relax.

Miinukset: Nothing, place is great

Plussat: This hotel looks so much better in person, online pictures were nice but seeing it was stunning. Landscaping was beautiful and clean, the room was amazing, clean and smelled good

Miinukset: I have no dislikes

Plussat: The bed was really comfortable and the staff very friendly. The breakfast is great and the location is remarkable.

Plussat: Place location and room very clean staff very friendly and helpfull food was great and services was wonderful definetly i will recommend this hotel to friends and family members

Plussat: It's a fancy hotel. Definitely five stars+.

Miinukset: Far from downtown area.

Plussat: The breakfast was very good with wide selection. The location was also very good close to a mall which was handy as the airline lost my bags and I had to source some basic items until they showed up. Staff was very friendly.

Miinukset: The room I was in was close to the elevator and overlooked the reception area and open bar. The live music was good but very loud. The rooms were starting to show a little age and could be maintained or renovated.

Plussat: Very nice people, beautiful beautiful hotel

Miinukset: Minor, but shower head left room for improvement

Plussat: Food at hotel restaurant is incredible. Staff very helpful and accommodating.

Miinukset: Gym could be better.

Plussat: Beautiful hotel; staff was very eager to help. Enjoyed dining in a quiet environment; good food.

Plussat: We had two nights at the hotel at the tail end of our trip around Costa Rica. The Hotel exudes history and stature and the restaurant is absolutely incredible. everything we ate was exceptional. The staff were also very helpful.

Miinukset: Given the age of the building the rooms are quite dated and to be honest let the hotel down a little. We had a very small bed that was not overly comfortable.

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: Lovely stuff willing to help with anything The restaurant is really good as well

Plussat: The apartment was just what we needed. Everything was clean and nice. The breakfast was good. Concierge Eunice was the best. She made sure to check on our day and to give us recommendations. We would go back just for her

Plussat: Location was perfect for us since we were mostly here for an appointment nearby. The accommodations are huge - it is essentially a complete one bedroom apartment with a full kitchen, living room, separate sitting room, huge storage room, bedroom and bath. Lots of counter space and a full desk. Super clean. Highly recommended.

Plussat: The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff always helpful. The pools are lovely as is the jacuzzi. Breakfast had many choice for a great dtart to the day. This was a very comfortable stay. Have been here a couple times and will stay again before leaving Costa Rica (sjo airport).

Plussat: The staff is excellent, super helpful and friendly. I went during rain season so there was a slight mold smell in my room... I am rey sensitive to mold due to allergies...my husband did not smell it. I mentioned it to front desk and they promptly changed/upgraded my room. The apartment kitchen was well equipped and very clean. They had I blender! I had smoothies everyday! Walmart nearby. Beds were comfortable and wifi worked well. Free airport pickup and drop off. Good free coffee available all day long.

Plussat: Our apartment was very large, comfortable and clean. All the staff were always friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed the pools. Easy walk to restaurants, shops, etc. Very nice area. This was a wonderful stay and will definitely stay again when we return. Many thanks.

Plussat: The staff was excellent and very helpful.

Miinukset: The mattress could have been more comfortable.

Plussat: The staff was excellent, both professional and friendly.

Miinukset: Food server coughed at the omelet station. Although they made a huge improvement in the oatmeal after my instructions, they can go a little further still.

Plussat: Everything!! Very helpful staff, courteous, nice restaurant and food. Close to shopping, WAL-Mart, Multiplaza, etc

Miinukset: ?????

Plussat: Breakfast was great.. The fruits were fresh and everything was clean and well put together. Perfect location.

Miinukset: Everything I needed, I had. I can't say there was anything I didn't like.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Bad check out experience with a discrepancy over my room charges.

Plussat: Me and my girlfriend visited different hotels in San Jose all the time and Residence is our absolutely favorite. The staff is friendly and helpful and the rooms are very comfortable.

Miinukset: The room includes a coffee maker that works with coffee pods but didn't include the pods neither is said anywhere where to find them or buy them. I will love it if this is included in the room.

Plussat: Location is perfect

Plussat: A beautiful little hotel in Santa Anna and close to most shopping venues. They have a night watchman which made us feel safe. The staff is very helpful and kind.

Miinukset: They could do better with breakfast.

Plussat: Most comfortable bed I slept in the whole time I was in Costa Rica. Very clean, modern rooms. Really delicious breakfast. Super friendly and helpful staff.

Plussat: Staff is friendly and the rates are pretty hard to beat. My go-to place when shopping in San Jose.

Miinukset: Because they were hosting an event that night we couldn't dine in the restaurant. They gave us the choice to eat under the rancho near the pool and that was great, but the sewage smell in that area of the hotel is very bad!! Not the ideal place to eat.

Plussat: Nice, clean and comfortable rooms with awesome beds, excellent service and very friendly staff, easy to find location, good parking space, yummy breakfast, very relaxing place.

Miinukset: The villas are very close together so the hotel has kind of a locked in feel to it and the pool was tiny and a little smelly.

Plussat: I think the best part of this hotel is the customer service. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. They always provided information about food, transportation, or simply tips of places to visit or go on tours. The rooms were amazing, the ones I stayed were new. Free breakfast was great too. And for the most part it was pretty clean and located in a safe environment.

Miinukset: the location is far from the beaches and pretty much everything else.

Plussat: Breakfast is nice, rooms are clean and big enough

Miinukset: This is not a problem of this hotel only but a general problem in Costa Rica, the hotels, restaurants and all the services for tourists are over expensive and in this case I think that the price we paid could have been a little cheaper, especially considering that the hotel is not in San Jose but you need to have a car to come and go (it's just 10 minutes but anyway). If the price would have been cheaper probably it would have been a 10 stay but paying the price it seems just to expensive for what you get

Plussat: I wasn't expecting much due to the simple surroundings, but wow, this place is very well kept, clean, modern, and pretty. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant, and again wasn't expecting much based on other hotel restaurant experiences, but I think this might have been the best meal of our whole week in CR. The food was delicious, the meals inventive but not pretentious, and every single person passed around their dish for others to try.

Plussat: We really enjoyed that it was close to United World College Costa Rica, and easy to go forth and back between school and hotel during my stay when bringing daughter to her new school. A lot of other parents were of same opinion, so it was also a place to meet other classmates before the school year started.

Plussat: Clean n quiet area

Miinukset: Small room with not much toiletries such as toothpaste n toothbrush. Not value for money charged. Breakfast n dinner is too expensive

Plussat: Quiet Location, friendly and helpful staff, excellent accomodations, comfortable bed and a good on-site restaurant

Miinukset: Very very little! The only thing that would have been nicer would have been to have had fresh orange juice for breakfast, rather than the processed kind - especially as Costa Rica has wonderful fruits (and ornages!) readily available.

Plussat: The modern clean appearance

Miinukset: The location

Plussat: 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

Miinukset: 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

Plussat: 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 .

Plussat: The excellent staff and superb facilities

Plussat: 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.

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: I don't really have any complaints.

Plussat: location was ok

Miinukset: 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

Plussat: the room was nice

Miinukset: the price

Plussat: We really enjoyed our stay. It had a great location.

Plussat: Breakfast was awesome and the team was nice and helpful.

Miinukset: nothing that I can think of.

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: Wonderful staff, friendly and courteous! Food was excellent!

Plussat: Friendly staff Close to the embassy Printing service available Breakfast included Parking in the facilities

Plussat: Nice location

Miinukset: Room had a smekl

Plussat: Decoration and common areas are great. Deluxe rooms. Food at the restaurant

Miinukset: Same breakfast everyday. Chepear rooms too small and not comfortable. Nothing to do around (outside)

Miinukset: Nothing, everything is good and cosy. Excellente and warm reception...

Miinukset: Peacefu and lovelyl environment. Amiable abience good for business

Plussat: The bed was comfortable. The room was pretty. Breakfast was good.

Miinukset: We booked a room with a queen bed. The hotel gave us a room with 2 double beds and a twin. I asked the desk and he said they were full and this was all they had and indicated it slept more than 2 people since there were 3 beds. My husband and I had to squeeze into the double bed. Booking should have said there was no queen with balcony available when we booked our room and the clerk should have told us while checking in so we could have made the choice to stay or not.

Plussat: Manager and staff were GREAT... Great value close to airport... We will go back again..

Plussat: Clean and very comfortable

Plussat: Confort was excellent

Miinukset: Aloft is a perfect option for business at San Jose

Miinukset: Everything

Miinukset: Love it.

Plussat: Room was excellent

Miinukset: Nope

Plussat: The rooms are very spacious and clean. Plenty of outlets for electrical devices.

Miinukset: The staff was indifferent to our needs. Very unconcerned about the "airport shuttle" and it's timing to pick us up. Charged us 40.00 to shuttle to airport....Says nothing about a charge on description. The "free" breakfast, was stale, cold, inedible.

Plussat: Excelente atención y ubicación

Plussat: Pros - Modern hotel/rooms - Diego at the front desk referred us to an awesome club nearby

Miinukset: Cons - overwhelming sense of humidity in hotel room - smell of mold - front desk offered us a shuttle for $550 USD one way to Jaco. I told him that I had found a comparable shuttle for $150. He explained that that was impossible---that such a price was likely per person. I ended up booking the $150 shuttle for 7 passengers and it was amazing!

Plussat: Great location, room, breakfast

Miinukset: Parking is not the best

Plussat: Breakfast is excellent

Plussat: I believe Aloft has a perfect service with right price, all services are quick, on time and with a great smile

Miinukset: Please review sliding door for bathroom, it is so hard to open

Plussat: Location, staff, décor and cleanliness of the hotel

Miinukset: not a lot a closet space

Plussat: - central location - nice rooftop terrace - nice staff - fresh omelette in the morning

Miinukset: - atmosphere in the breakfast room is not very cosy - lot of construction work in the street

Plussat: Comfortable overnight stay.

Plussat: Parking was easy. Early checkin was allowed.

Miinukset: Food was nothing special. Another bar bill ended up on our tab but was subsequently removed.

Plussat: The rooftop patio is adorable! Amazing views of the mountains while you're surrounded by a gorgeous assortment of flowers. Loved that they provided a bottle of distilled water in the rooms. The free breakfast was delicious and has many options.

Plussat: the staff was so lovely and helpful, the lobby and dining area are nice. very accommodating.

Miinukset: the room itself was very basic and felt empty as opposed to the design of lobby and building.

Plussat: The staff, including the trainees, were extremely helpful and would go out of their way to help me find places that I wanted to see. They worked well together, letting me know when my Uber had arrived outside. The hotel is very clean and well located, and within an easy (5-10 minute) walk from the National Theatre, museums, pedestrian-only street, as well as by Starbucks and other restaurants. I had a very good-sized room, and enjoyed dinner my first night at the hotel's roof top restaurant/bar. The free breakfast each morning is exceptional, with hot entrees, fresh tropical fruit and juices, breads, yogurts, and made-to-order omelets (note that the staff will also make freshly-squeezed orange juice from the juicer near the entrance). Coming from the U.S., the hotel room, complete with a large, varied breakfast and free WiFi, is a bargain.

Miinukset: The entrance to the hotel can be a little confusing the first time you arrive. It is staffed all the time, so I felt very safe. There is a bus stop right across the street, so sometimes the sidewalk can be a little crowded. These are very minor items which did not affect my overall impression of the hotel.

Plussat: Everything very good! Nice staff, super service, very beautiful decorated Hotel, exellent breakfast, comfy beds. Not the first time and for sure not the last time! Sabine

Plussat: Hotel Presidente is a hidden gem. Right in the centre of town, you couldn’t be closer to the museums, parks, restaurants and shops. This is a lovely boutique hotel at very reasonable rates with excellent customer service. Breakfast was excellent too, with a large selection and eggs made to order, so totally fresh.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Large room with comfortable bed and bedding. The shower is very unusual with windows above. The breakfast is excellent- plenty to choose from and a chef prepares eggs and omelettes to your liking. Helpful front desk staff. Gated free parking.

Miinukset: It would be nice to have a make up mirror in the bathroom but they have a large mirror with good light in the room that was ok substitute.

Plussat: Bed and roof bar

Miinukset: No guests.

Plussat: Great location in the heart of the city. Great restaurant and rooftop bar were good. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and comfortable beds

Plussat: The design. Ingratiating the greenery was excellent.

Plussat: The kindness of their staff is something remarkable of Hilton Doble Tree Cariari and it’s really near from the airport.

Miinukset: They didn’t have any bottle of water at the room, as courtesy or even payed. They neither had frigo bar at the room.

Plussat: Very helpful staff - we had a noisy room and were moved immediately to a quieter part of the hotel with no fuss.

Miinukset: We were hoping to use the pool bar but it wasn’t open (which wasn’t advertised) - it was low season though so this was totally acceptable.

Plussat: The kind staff and the character - as well as convenience to where I was working.

Miinukset: lots of hidden fees including internet in your room for extra $$.

Plussat: Beautiful property. Clean and spacious rooms - balcony overlooking the Pool was nice. Bar and breakfast buffet were both excellent - very friendly staff.

Miinukset: No dislikes.

Plussat: Breakfast buffet was very good. The restaurant and pool area have very good ambience.

Miinukset: Very nice hotel but not a great value at $--- price per night. Prices at the bar were very expensive.

Plussat: It's a nice hotel with good facilites and friendly staff. The dinner and breakfast in the restaurant was very yummy and of good quality. Especially the breakfast is worth it since you can order your own custom omelette and get a great choice of fruits. The check-in was also really fast >1 minute.

Miinukset: The room was cold and damp with no view and with really old furniture and a squeaky bed. It all looks very old and worn out. The location is not very good since you will need a car to come here. There is also not much around in the neighbourhood so you will have to dine in the hotel restaurant. My partner booked the Spa for 1.5 hours. It was good but a little bit dirty and not very clean.

Plussat: the outdoor atmosphere was enjoyable

Miinukset: the location, off the beaten path

Plussat: Proximity to airport

Miinukset: I found the evening reception clerk to be unfriendly And the restaurant to be overpriced for poor quality and quantity food There was no free breakfast

Plussat: location

Plussat: The location of the hotel it was great. The hospitality of their personnel was excellent and the facilities of the hotel also was great. The breakfast was also great.

Miinukset: I think the room at this time it was not so good because it was at 2º floor. I liked more last time when I was at 5º floor because of the view of the city.

Plussat: very well positioned with a lot of restaurants just nearby. Silent, clean and with a good wifi connection.

Plussat: We always choose to stay here because of the location. 2 min walk to the food court Tempo, short walk to Nova cinema (imax) and a quick drive to MultiPlaza complex.

Miinukset: The a/c fan speed was not adjustable so it was always on high which was a bit noisy. After 3 mins you got use to it though.

Plussat: Location is excellent. Great nigh life

Miinukset: Rooms in the second floor can hear everything on the ballrooms underneath. The music was so loud one night that we couldn't sleep because of it and the vibrations in the room due to the based of the sound. Hallways are dark and hot.

Plussat: The staff was amazing! Food was fantastic!

Plussat: The staff are really great here. The other thing is the location. It is a perfect location to enjoy time in San Jose

Miinukset: The gym is bad. It has a old elliptical machine that needs to be replaced and the free weights and weight lifting equipment is poor

Miinukset: The air conditioning never worked. And the room service doesn’t work late hours
