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."

Recent Reviews in Mata de Plátano

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Jose Aeropuerto, Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente servicio, muy buena atención. Ninguna queja, muy recomendado."

AC Hotel San Jose Airport Belen

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic choice for your first night in Costa Rica, or the final night before a flight home. Two recommendations, book the breakfast, you won’t be disappointed, and book the shuttle from the airport to the hotel and avoid having to pay a ridiculously high price for a taxi. Third time staying at AC Belan, and I will stay again."

Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

10/10 Excellent

"Superbe propriété. En plein centre-ville, sécuritaire et très bien entretenu. J'y retournerais sans hésiter."

Hotel Presidente

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was great but the neighborhood was a bit gritty. Not great for an evening stroll."

Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Service and people were excellent"

Hilton Garden Inn San Jose Airport City Mall

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and large room…"

Hotel Mango

8/10 Good

"Hotel was a great location for an early morning flight from San Jose. Staff were very sweet, professional, and helpful. Room had what I needed. I did not have time to enjoy the amenities. It was perfect to have a quick shuttle to the airport at 5am! I enjoyed chatting with the receptionist who was very friendly and answered my questions in English because I’m not fluent in Spanish."

Gran Hotel Costa Rica, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful room with friendly and wonderful staff. The restaurant in the hotel was pricey but the food was amazing. Location is in a busy area but there’s lots to do all in walking distance. Also There’s nowhere to park, you can only do valet which is just a one-time payment of $28 for your whole stay."

Hilton Garden Inn San Jose La Sabana

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient to everything in a safe area. The friendly staff was helpful with any questions or concerns."
