A very good value, in a quiet residential neighborhood in San José. This hotel has clean, comfortable rooms with firm beds and fluffy pillows. The shared bathrooms are clean, and an effort has been made to be environmentally friendly. The rooms can be small-ish, but the common areas are vast and beautiful-- a gorgeous garden courtyard and amazing local art... More

Rooms vary somewhat in size and shape, but we enjoyed our stay (room 8) at the beginning and end of our trip to Costa Rica. Neighborhood is a mix of residential and hospitals with a few sodas nearby. Breakfast, as noted by others, is amazing.

I recently stayed with a group of 18 people at Hotel Aranjuez. I had to make the arrangements at the last minute because our previous plans fell through due to poor business practices of our previous hostel. The staff at Aranjuez was very accommodating and helped me to easily make plans to stay there. They also extended a discount to... More

I'm a 28 year old female traveling solo for the first time in Costa Rica and needed a long term apartment with a kitchen to stay in. I needed some dental work done because North America is overpriced and quality and service is not good compared to Costa Rica. I chose Meza Dental Care, and was blown away by the... More

We stayed here for three nights. Hotel is actually a row of older homes interconnected to create a hotel - very charming with garden areas in back. Breakfast was fantastic. As noted by some others, walls are thin and we sometimes heard neighbors talking or TV sounds, but we slept well as people generally were respectful of "quiet time" 10... More

We stayed in the "Casita Apartment" at Hotel Aranjuez for 5 months from Dec. 2012 to Apr. 2013. The 2-bed, 2-bath apartment was charming and spacious with a private outdoor garden. Safety: We didn't have any problems with walking around during the day or early evening (we aren't night owls, so we can't speak to later at night). However, the... More

This hotel was amazing! It was very quiet and decently close to the downtown area. The building itself was interesting to navigate and I spent a little time exploring where all the rooms were. It had a lot of old world character and I found several spots worthy of photos. The bathrooms in the rooms were very nice and clean.... More

Stayed at the Aranjuez for over a week in the apartments adjacent to the hotel. I have to say the staff was very considerate and patient. They had plenty of information on activities and recommendations on food and drink. I would definately stay here again.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 weeks in March and April. We feel we got great value for our money and thoroughly enjoyed out experience. The staff was helpful in organizing tours and provided info to help us plan our time there. The hotel has a mixture of old and new but each part was charming. Our room... More
