The best hotel in San Jose,Costa Rica .10/10. Excellent service, wonderful hearty varied breakfasts, clean spacious rooms, shower, hair dryer, coffee maker, flat screen, Wi-Fi, quiet place. A beautiful park near the hotel will replace a trip to the parks, there are so many trees, birds, squirrels. On the territory of the hotel there is a swimming pool, sauna, gym, massage and spa rooms, several restaurants and a tennis court. It is easy to get to the city center by car, you can walk to the bus stop in 5 minutes. The room is equipped with air conditioning, daily cleaning, cosmetic set in the bathroom. There is an iron, safe and mini bar with a refrigerator. A nice addition is the privilege of a snack bar on the floor. The best place where we rested. I will definitely come back

Breakfast was ok - but there could have been a much better selection of juices available. There was only x1 per day, I expected more from a 5 star hotel. Also at dinner they made me sit on a shared table which I didn’t want to do because they had closed off an area.
