Carmen

"My preferred place to stay in San Jose (have probably stayed here at least 20 times, and I have stayed at many places in town so I have a fair idea of what's "normal" here even for the high-end hotels). Large and clean rooms, great location and staff. Only downside is there is no restaurant/bar in the hotel, rather in the separate casino which is a bit sleazy for my tastes. But there are decent restaurants within a short walk."

Barceló San José

8/10 Good

"This is an older hotel so don't expect a modern place. It is well kept and has its charm but somethings should be updated such as their computer system and carpets should be changed for hygiene reasons. The check in was extremely slow. There was virtually only one person checking in people, there was 2 people in front of me and it took over 25 minutes and I waited 2 hours for the room."
