Hotel Milan Costa Rica
3.6/575 Reviews
It was late July when I visited San José, the capital city of Costa Rica, from where you can easily get to see the country's cloud forest, volcanoes, and waterfalls owing to its central location. I didn't have any hesitation to choose Hotel Milán de San José. A double room was allocated for me. The climate was temperate during my 6-day stay; and there was no need to switch on the air conditioner or the ceiling fan. I had a peaceful sleep every night. The staff were courteous and helpful indeed. Though not everyone could speak fluent English, we managed to communicate well; and I had a pleasant rapport with them. Each morning, I delightfully woke up and looked ahead to enjoy a good traditional Costa Rican breakfast. It was indeed an enjoyable getaway in San José City; and Hotel Milán had complemented my vacation.
Costa Rica Guesthouse
4/5104 Reviews
This place was good value for the money. We spent our last night in Costa Rica here. We stayed in the King sized room and there were also two single beds. It was very spacious and clean with lots of windows. Good wifi and comfortable bed. Many of the guests were young travellers so it resembles a hostel. The young women on the desk were pleasant. The walls are thin and we could hear every word our neighbours said but it quieted down around 11 pm. I would recommend this place.
Casa Lima B&B
4.2/5101 Reviews
We have stayed at Casa Lima for years. The location is great since it is walking distance to our family's house. But this stay was not pleasant. We stayed in 2 room family suite, which we have stayed in this room type before (but received a different room). There were cobwebs everywhere throughout the 2 rooms. I am talking large, draping cobwebs in all the corners, it was dirty. These could have easily been removed with a broom. The room did not feel clean and our youngest was not comfortable. We had arrived late at night and had been communicating this to the hotel all along. It didn't seem like they were ready for us, the owner/manager was grumpy and seemed irritated when we asked for some water. The main 1st room had a double bed and a fold out couch. The bed was comfortable, the couch was not. There was a wardrobe to place your things. The fridge did not work. The adjacent room, had three twin beds, no windows. There was nowhere to put anything, no closet, no wardrobe, not even space for a suitcase. The adjoining door did not close unless you deadbolted it, not too comfy for a family with young kids. The bathoom door in the twin room didn't close at all, it would slide open, and most definitely didn't lock. The TV in that room didn't work either. We did report that the fridge didn't work, but they didn't do anything about it. The courtyard, as always, is amazing. It is like a jungle in the middle of the city with a ton of plants, trees, flowers and colorful rocks. There is a coi pond with a couple turtles and you can feed them if you ask for some food. There is also a large cage with a bunch of birds, which adds to the ambiance. The breakfast is simple, but good. The servers are awesome. I feel like the last 3 stays at this hotel have gone considerably downhill. i also feel like the price was a lot higher than we paid in the past. We will be looking for another go to hotel in the future.
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Cariari San Jose - Costa Rica
4.1/5111 Reviews
This hotel rocks! We stayed here the first night of our trip, and were welcomed by the kind staff and some of the FRESHEST and WARMEST TASTIEST free cookies upon check in. By the end of our stay one of our relatives literally hoarded the cookies, asking for 4-5 per day. The pool was very pretty, and the breakfast was so fancy, aesthetic and tasty! The rooms were nice and cool, very clean, and had a great selection of TV channels. On the last night of our trip, we had initially pre-planned to stay at this one hotel in the forrest, but our party decided to leave because of a number of concerning observations. We were all exhausted as it was the end of our trip, and needed somewhere to stay. Immediately everyone started chanting that they wanted to go back to the DoubleTree. We arrived and everyone sighed a relief, and we went to our warm beds with our cookies!
Hotel El Descanso
3.6/524 Reviews
A hotel above two restaurants a block away from the main streets. There were some small critters but otherwise good bang for buck. There was a ceiling fan with 3 settings. My toilet seat did not have the cover though.
Isla Verde Hotel
4.5/5101 Reviews
What a really great hotel! Terrific shower, comfortable beds, everything pristinely clean, free hot breakfast, easy parking, friendly staff, security guards, and a fantastic Cantonese restaurant. Luxurious and elegant beyond our expectations. Good value, well worth the money. No complaints whatsoever, we love it here.
