Costa Rica Guesthouse

Costa Rica Guesthouse

3.9/584 Reviews
We stayed only one night here since we left for La Fortuna right away next morning. For the price, I thought it was a solid stay. The room/shared bathroom was clean and the front desk was friendly. The main pro was how affordable this place was. Wasn't looking for anything fancy, just a place to rest my head.
Casa Lima B&B

Casa Lima B&B

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

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Cariari San Jose - Costa Rica

4.1/5112 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!

Good and cheap for one night if you going from/to airport. Bus stop nearby. 2 cafes right downstairs of hotel so it’s convenient to have breakfast before you check out. Hotel workers are friendly and helpful
Isla Verde Hotel

Isla Verde Hotel

4.5/596 Reviews
This is a very nice local hotel. As so many have said, the customer service is top level. They will do all possible to please their guests. My room was small, but fine. Beds are very comfortable, room was clean, and almost everything worked well. Hotel is small, but lovely. I don’t feel there is a need to detail much, as this place is very nice overall. Two problems… In my room, the hot water was virtually nonexistent at the faucet. Which is so strange as it was perfectly fine in the shower. But it meant I was unable to shave. But that’s okay because I was only there 2 nights. The real problem was the internet. And OMG, was it horrible. Almost nonexistent. I actually went out into the public area to try to work, but still couldn’t accomplish anything. I have a business and need good internet. Both my phone and my computer had such a bad signal and were dropping constantly. I had been at the Best Western and then the Marriott before this hotel, and all was perfect. Now I am at the Hilton, and again, perfect. So I don’t know if it was a temporary issue or not, but it made my stay infuriating. I will go back to my previous policy of only staying at hotel chains, because this was not the first time I had internet issues at a local hotel. It has happened probably 40-50% of the time. So no more for me. But most people will love this hotel. And everyone will love the service!
Radisson San Jose Costa Rica

We stayed for one night after arriving in San Jose. We got a taxi from the airport, which took about half an hour to get to the hotel. The hotel is really big and spacious, the rooms were comfortable, and we particularly enjoyed the lovely pool area outside where we could relax with drinks from the bar.
