Hotels Near Cultural Center of Spain in San Jose

The hotel is located in the center of San Jose. Downstairs is a main pedestrian street. It is convenient to eat and go shopping. It may be because of the country's reasons. The hotel feels old and it feels a little unsafe to go out at night. The hotel is decorated in an old-fashioned style, and the hotel lobby is on the second floor, very retro style. The breakfast is relatively rich, but after two days of eating, I feel that there is nothing to eat. It may be that the Chinese stomach is not used to it. Fruit, juice, coffee, a lot of milk, this is great. The bathroom in the hotel has only a shower head, which is very inconvenient. In addition, the drinking water is installed by the hotel itself, and it is always not safe to drink.

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.

The best hotel I’ve ever been privileged enough to stay at. Barcelo San Jose this Gorgeous building, and it only gets more breathtaking when you walk in. High quality rooms and high quality service. Excellent property and very convenient to USC activities. Front desk staff is extremely efficient, pleasant and helpful. Property is clean and has a fantastic old time charm.

The city view was the best part, we got picked up from the hotel for a day tour. Tour guide said we’re in the new buildings area but it’s still unsafe at night so don’t go walking around, but the hotel itself was five to ten minutes from everything else, in the day we did walk around and felt safe, the park is right next to it which was nice to see and of course the stadium, cleanliness and guest services were great accommodating, we had our anniversary dinner at their restaurant and it had great views but service was slow and food was only okay, could’ve/should’ve eaten somewhere else, the best part was the pool on the highest floor, the top four floors were apartments, but the pool is on the highest of their floor, the jacuzzi wasn’t warmed and they warmed us that it wasn’t, but the pool itself was nice to swim in, stayed there for a little over an hour before going to dinner, would definitely go book again

The staff was amazing. I stayed for 2 nights following out-patient surgery at a nearby clinic. The staff let me check-in and drop off my stuff at 7 a.m. - then they took it all up to my room for me while I had my surgery. Afterward, they assisted me to my room because I was still groggy from the general anesthesia. I was hungry since I hadn't eaten all day, but my stomach was a little off, so they had soup from the restaurant sent up for me right away. They arranged for a min-fridge in my room. They also made a point of asking how I was doing and if I needed help with anything. They were very kind and sympathetic. I was there alone, so their care was greatly appreciated. The hotel was beautiful and nicely decorated. The bed and pillows were comfortable. I had an inner room with a court-yard view, and everything was very quiet. Got great Wi-Fi at the room (2nd floor in the middle) - used my laptop to stream movies with no problems. The restaurant is attached to the lobby. It has Asian cuisine, but the manager had them make me a chicken sandwich special because my stomach was still sensitive even later that night. They were so kind and helpful. And the restaurant had really good food. The parking was also very easy, and they always had someone watching the vehicles. The breakfast was included and was good as well. It had typical Costa Rican fare like beans and rice, eggs, and fried plantains. They also offered toast, muffins, a few different types of cereal and granola, coffee, juice, milk, as well as various fruits and yogurt. I can't remember if there was a meat choice offered as well. I highly recommend this hotel. You won't be disappointed. This isn't a complaint - just an FYI - as with the majority of San Jose hotels, the cable provider they use has almost all of the programming in Spanish (it is a Spanish-speaking country after all). So, if you are an English-only speaker, you might be out of luck if you want to watch TV. They might have a way to switch it to English or add subtitles through the controls, so you will have to ask. I just used my laptop to watch TV/movies.

It should be the best hotel in downtown San Jose, with comfortable beds and pillows. Guest service is also ok. The breakfast is too bad, it is not worth the price. It is recommended that if one lives, or stays next to Sheraton, half of the price, but the room is large, breakfast is very rich.

Our stay was absolutely amazing! The amenities, the service, the price, the food, the views, entertainment, everything will make you feel like royalty! You are met in the lobby with a warm smile & greeting from Alexander Bell boy and checked -in by Margoth. In the lounge you are personally greeted by Ronald day serve and Miguel Angel(night serve) who were very personable. Breakfast was deliciously prepared by Gaudy the cook. Even the housekeeper makes the toilet tissue decorative. Ezequiel, the concierge, was very helpful and all of the staff seemed to never forget a face or name. I must say.. I really enjoyed my stay at the Sheraton.

I arrived in Costa Rica and this is where I spent my first two nights as I prepared for an extensive journey through the national parks. This hotel provided a fine room. The building is in the shape of an ”O”, with the pools and dining areas in the middle. There were many different types of birds flying around, the traffic noise was minimal inside the pool area, and I enjoyed relaxing in the pool area. Breakfast was excellent and available to all guests. Dinner was purchased in a smaller bar/dining area with an overhead view of the pool area. I ordered salmon, and it was surprisingly good! This is not a destination hotel, but it was just what I needed, as I got my international bearings. There is a tour desk, in which one may schedule a variety of tours and day trips of San Jose or areas around Costa Rica.
