San Jose hotellit Carmen

Plussat: Clean good location

Miinukset: Too impersonal ok if you like corporate hotels could have been anywhere

Plussat: Room was very large and clean, with a good bed, a modern decent hotel in superb location right in the center of town. Staff were polite and helpful.

Miinukset: The downside of being in the center is the potential for street noise. My solution was to turn the fan up to the highest level.....it acted as a great sleep machine and cancelled out any street sounds.

Plussat: Very helpful and professional reception staff. Room cleaning was very thorough. I stayed 19 nights and had a good sleep each night.

Miinukset: Breakfast had few healthy options ;no soy,low quality cereal and bread-but in their defense-it’s this way throughout Costa Rica.

Miinukset: Breakfast could be a lot better.

Plussat: El personal que atiende en el comedor en la hora del desayuno, y las demas son un amor, dan un super excelente servicio que nunca habia encontrado en otro lugar. Añado tambien a la del departamento de house keeping maravi

Miinukset: En el counter les falta orientar mas a las personas que vamos de otros paises desorientados relacionado a lugares turisticos, la moneda, los horarios. Lo demas esta todo bien organizado.

Plussat: stupid hotel they charge for extra guest

Miinukset: respect and stop the ripoff

Plussat: Location/proximity

Miinukset: The Breakfast was Terrible.Not much to pick from.The eggs were fake which of course I did not eat.Only one meat selection.

Miinukset: Air conditioning could be better

Plussat: convenient location, breakfast is fantastic, staff is friendly and helpful

Plussat: The location was really good, right in the middle of the city. So it’s easy to walk to shops and get picked up for tours. I had a nice, big, comfortable bed.

Miinukset: The room and building is slightly old fashioned so I kept scraping my leg against the table in the room. And it seems there’s only 1 elevator for the whole building.

Plussat: The staff was Great

Plussat: Curteous staff, great location, secure, comfortable, satisfying.

Miinukset: Limited breakfast, no pool

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Hotel was not as described. I am a disabled veteran. No elevator. Steps everywhere. I have low vision. All floors dark tile, no marking where steps are. No AC. Tiny rooms. Only window opens to the public patio. No safe. The description has professional photos that make this hotel look fabulous. It’s not. Worse, they required prepayment for 10 day stay, I stayed 1 day. No refund. Fraud. Deception. Advance booking for excellent Holiday Inn is just $12 more. Awful experience.

Plussat: Rom was nice

Miinukset: Staff not that hreat

Plussat: Proprietor Thomas Douglas is a warm, welcoming presence at breakfast. Circulating among tables of guests, he's chock full of stories and suggestions. When he heard about my difficulty in obtaining a rental car, he made an immediate call and booked one for the following day. Our room was comfortable and spacious--the high ceilings speak to the hotel's former life as a magnificent private residence. The hotel's ideally situated for walking to the Central Market, the National Theater, and the Pre-Columbian Gold Museum.

Plussat: Great private property close to the best beach in Santa Teresa. There are many shops within walking distance and not crowded and noisy. The villa we stayed at was very spacious and super clean. Greg the owner is very friendly and made sure our stay here was great. He recommended great restaurants, an amazing surfing instructor, and arranged transportation from the airport. Love Luna, the villas dog.

Miinukset: Make sure to bring your own beach towels and hairdryer

Plussat: What a wonderfully relaxing retreat in the heart of San Jose. Friendly quiet and so beautiful. Love the home cooked breakfast & yummy homemade jam. A little piece of paradise. I love the artwork in the rooms & hallways too.

Miinukset: We couldn’t stay longer

Plussat: great staff, very helpful informative, Thanks Raul

Plussat: Great location, nice comfortable rooms, cool history.

Plussat: Friendly helpful staff in front, especially David. Convenient location in San Jose. Good breakfast from a choice of three. Comfortable room for the price. The owner Tomas was very nice and helpful.

Miinukset: Our safe in our room was problematic as it didn't always function. However, on a positive note they did fix it. Computer was older and rather slow though the latter may be more of an issue with the server in the area.

Plussat: Clean, safe, comfortable, and friendly and professional staff. Has gym for a quick workout. You can tell owner takes pride in his property. Breakfast is what owner likes to eat every morning and his wife makes the green hot sauce from scratch. Ended up staying three days instead of one. Location is really good for walking around downtown.

Miinukset: Rooms are a little dated but are nice and clean and beds are comfortable. Enjoyed stay very much.

Plussat: Accommodating staff for extending our stay.

Plussat: Room, location ,friendly helpful staff.

Miinukset: Lack of tea and coffee in rooms

Miinukset: no ventilation or fans that cool the rooms down well enough to sleep

Plussat: This place has character, tropical atmosphere. Nice restaurant in the hotel.

Miinukset: Neighborhood was not the prettiest, but in San Jose, it´s hard to find.

Plussat: Beautiful little oasis is the middle of San Jose. The space, the flora, the staff were exceptional. And the food! The restaurant was exquisite and the included breakfast was the best we found in the country.

Plussat: 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!

Plussat: We stayed in the apartments across the street from main hotel and our room was spacious and filled with light. The breakfast was wonderful and the art in the ground floor of the hotel is terrific.

Miinukset: I’m very light sensitive at night and had to wear a sleep mask in spite of heavy curtains.

Plussat: The Tico character of the place, loved the local art and plants everywhere. The breakfast which was varied and delicious - excellent the homemade cakes. We stayed in the apartment block across the road from the hotel, our room was a good size with modern tile bathroom. Just up the hill from the Saturday Feria Verde eco market which is well worth at visit.

Miinukset: We had a ground floor room in the apartment block and there was a LOT of noise from the street from early morning. Walls also super thin we could hear next door room chatting away late at night, their phone ring at dawn, coffee machine switch on etc. We are light sleepers so didn’t get a good night sleep at all sadly. Would definitely stay again but in superior plus room over in main hotel area round back of hotel which looked to be quiet - room 22 I think. Would be good to have bath towel as floor slippery on getting out of shower.

Plussat: Amazing breakfast!

Miinukset: My room was not on the original, cute property. I was put to another building, which I did not like.

Plussat: Great quirky base for 2 days visit to San Jose. Try the Tapas bar on the corner (fabulous).

Plussat: Quaint and charming accomodations. A truly costarican feel and decor. The breakfast room was awesome as was the food. One of the best breakfasts we've ever had. But the absolute best thing about this property was the adjoining restaurant - the gourmet meal, the decor, the ambiance and the wait staff. It was one of the most memorable dinners of our lives.

Plussat: they were very helpful and cooperative with our special requests.

Miinukset: me facilities in the room, such as fridge, coffe maker etc.

Plussat: Location.

Miinukset: Disappointed that the hot tub had been removed. Thought it had a hot tub as we had stayed their 5 years ago. Would have been nice to be located on an upper floor for the view. Unfortunately we were on the 4 the floor.

Plussat: Very practical

Miinukset: Wi fi was not always reliable

Plussat: Great location, staff very friendly and helpful !!!

Plussat: Cost effective. Ideal location to visit San Jose city center. Easy to park for motorized guest.

Plussat: all the windows in the room that overlook the city and the largest and space we had.

Miinukset: no

Plussat: Everything, really nice hotel and I had to have a room delivery twice for their Penner Arrabiatta. But serving beer in cans at the bar is like class.

Miinukset: I didn't like that the bars served beers in cans. That's not a 5 star style. Everything else was perfect.

Miinukset: Old property. Needs renovation and improvements.

Plussat: had some issues with the first room I had and then they moved me with an upgrade, this was very nice.

Plussat: the room allowed me to see into the city. The breakfast selection was great and the diner I had was also tasty and well serviced.

Plussat: room, comfort, spacious

Miinukset: shower is a bit tricky to get hot water; breakfast not included in my package

Plussat: Good location, great room.

Plussat: I love the location. The breakfast in the morning was fantastic. And the room was very clean.

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

Plussat: I liked he location.

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

Plussat: Good location. Big rooms, friendly reception staff. Secure off road parking.

Miinukset: No hot water in our room. When we complained, they moved us and upgraded us to a much better room. They had known when they put us in that room that there was no hot water, but did not tell us, and still put us in the room. I found I had been charged twice as they used the original booking card as well as the card I gave on arrival. To be fair they realised before I did, but I had to query it to be told this. The hotel claims to be 4 stars, but it’s nowhere near that.

Plussat: The location and breakfast!

Plussat: The location was perfect for getting around San Jose. I liked that the hotel had a Cafe, Bar, Pharmacy, etc.. onsite. The staff was very friendly and professional.

Miinukset: We were scheduled for 2 nights, however, there were several things that we did not like and we ended up checking out the morning of the second day. We booked another hotel in the Escazu area. Here's what went wrong: -The bathroom was tiny! The water leaked to the room section and we had to use extra towels to dry it off. -Everytime we left the room, and we came back the key (card) did not work. We had to find a staff member to help open it for us. That was annoying! -The bed was tiny! It's a full, but it was very small. The room was also small. Overall it was not what we expected. We are disappointed and will not stay here again.

Plussat: The staff

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: Breakfast was good and the bed was comfortable.

Miinukset: Quite noisy from rooms above etc. But not really an issue

Plussat: The hotel is pretty central to everything. The staff is helpful. The room wa clean.

Plussat: Close to medical facilities

Miinukset: No coffee maker, breakfast was good but hostess had a problem with me taking coffee to the room

Plussat: Proximity to everything. Warm water. Decent internet. Good quality sheets and comforter.

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: This hotel has everything you need and is located in the middle of san Jose with easy access to transportation and all the downtown museums.

Plussat: Great front desk staff,(especially Christopher). Great walking location, such as, sight seeing around downtown, restaurants, shopping areas, and taxies was right there for your quick convenience, and even the city bus. Great breakfast every morning. I loved the place and look forward to returning soon.

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