This was a very nice way to start my Costa Rican journey.

Pros: Excellent location for exploring central San Jose. Buffet breakfast had a good selection of options, and who doesn't love an omelette chef. Concierge staff were very helpful in looking after our mislaid luggage arrived at midnight on the second night.

Cons: Slightly pricey for somewhere to rest one's head. Waited a very long time to be offered coffee on the first morning. Difficult to think of anything more to pick at. A lovely stay.

Perfect place to reset after a long journey to San Jose from the UK.

Pros: Great location. Stayed here on our first night in San Jose - perfect place to reset after a long journey. The bar is lovely, the car parking was helpful and we were upgraded to a suite. Breakfast was also 10/10.

Cons: The restaurant is quite expensive.

Excellent location with a luxury feel and exceptional staff

Pros: The hotel is in an excellent location, it is very easy to get around and also easy to get an uber. The hotel has a luxury feel and the staff were exceptional.

Cons: I originally had a front balcony room which was lovely but a little too noisy for me but the staff moved me immediately to a room of my liking.
