After being was frustrated with what $150 would get us at the Gran Hotel, my hubby and I wound up here on the first night of our honeymoon. The room was bigger, with AC and a TV, as well as a nice, clean shower. The view an hotel staff were pleasant.
The restaurant was cute, but the staff was surly....

We stayed here as part of an organised group shortly after flying into San Jose and also the night before we departed. On both occasions we were allocated reasonably sized rooms, well equipped including A/c, modern bathroom, safe and coffe machine. Both rooms were noisy- the first from streetnoise and the second because it was located off the main lobby...

A so-so hotel in a terrible city. Very simple accommodations. No AC, twin beds, armed guard out front and a very limited restaurant/bar. I can't imagine any place in San Jose Costa Rica being very good, so this will do for an overnight stay if you start your vacation in San Jose. It was clean and simple. The staff were...

Our room was on the ground floor, and did have a window, which faced onto the veranda and main street. The street outside was busy with trafffic late into the night and early in the morning. The furnishings were old and dated, and the net curtains looked like they hadn't been washed in years, the same could be said for...

We traveled with a flexi drive program with over 100 motels/B&Bs to choose from all over the country. This was their first choice to pre-book our first night. It was full so they booked us at the Fleur de Lys (which was great...I wrote a review of it also). When we returned to San Jose at the end of the...

Thanks for your comments,
El Barrio Amon met a party of the bourgeoisie, therefore became the first fashionable neighborhood of San Jose. They built their elegant houses in many styles: Victorian, eclectic, neoclassical and Moorish, among others.
Currently, some residents still are, some are employed by hotels, restaurants and antique shops, always keeping its original elegance.
Britannia have a Victorian...

After having an expensive six days in Monteverde and Arenal, I decided that I just needed an inexpensive hotel to spend the night before my flight out of San Jose. My transfer from Arenal put me into San Jose around 4pm and I needed to leave at 4am the next morning to make a 7am flight out of the airport....

Booked in with some trepidation; having read previous reviews. We need not have worried, our room, while a little small, was well equipped, clean and comfortable. Staff were welcoming, attentive and friendly. This is a charming family run small hotel, originally "Spanish Colonial", with modern extension. Located only ten minutes from the centre of San Jose, just the job for...

The website looks good but the room we ended up in was horrible. No pool, that was my fault. But ended up in an interior room, without airconditiong, and next to the front desk which was noisy. I booked and paid for the hotel for 3 days but was so displeased that I found another hotel the next day. They...

Visited on 11/2009 for my honeymoon. We showed up 3 hours late due to our taxi breaking down on the road driving from Puntarenas to San Jose. My wife and I were "upgrade" to a better room (#210) due to the inconvenience, turns out it was still a standard room and the first thing that greeted us as we opened...

Dear Guest:
We are so sorry for the inconvenience;Costa Rica is a tropical country, so we are often exposed to this type of plagues, sometimes really hard to eradicate, but nowadays and for more than a year we have not any problems like you mentioned or another.

We had to stay at the Brittania for two nights, our first and last nights in Costa Rica because it was near the airport in San Jose. Of the 5 hotels we stayed in through out the country, this was our least favorite by far.
First, San Jose has nothing to offer so hanging out in the city is not...
