Hotel Grano de Oro^{(4 stars)}

Really a very nice hotel. Right next to the park. Very attentive staff. Very good restaurant. I would say the best hotel the I in Costa Rica met have. The right to a strenuous prior, or in front of a strenuous return journey. A very nice entrance hall. A very posh restaurant, without dress code. read more

We arrived at the end of a 3-week trip from the Costa Rica area of Drake bay earlier than planned to San Jose back. The hotel was very negative experiences in our a delight! We are not sensitive, but the situation in the poor man's paradise 'pension' on the peninsula Drake bay almost have ruined our vacation. Fortunately there is us nothing happened-in this desert is a completely lost in the event of an emergency. So everyone, the this hotel reviews read here-not the poor man's paradise to Drake bay! And we were not sensitive! Drake bay is a complete ... isolation from the civilization-this is communicated from a different tour operators not really. So here again in all clarity! Back to the Grano de Oro: great, individual room, great beds-I have never slept so well in a hotel. Beautiful and functional bathrooms. Everything in old colonial style. Prices for Costa Rica-but extremely high value for money. The breakfast could have been included in the price but be, the ten Euros it but also not more fat. The reception is great, the waiters at breakfast, something strange, when you spoke Spanish already almost pushy. Hot tub on the roof was great-water should have been changed more often but. The hotel is partly due to the various internal courtyards noisy, all educated Americans chat with money also still in the middle of the night around-you must make itself just to peace. It is possible to reach the city center of San Jose to walk-about 20 to 30 minutes, if you are a good to foot is. Trips can be booked in the hotel to rack-we were on the Irazu -crater and in the orosi valley. Best Grano de Oro the book directly, not over the tour Agency, what Dr the still open. As said: the-also to lonely planet-best hotel San Jose read more

We have stayed twice per a night in the hotel and can only recommend it. You can reserve a dinner in the restaurant, excellent cuisine for real price. In Europe you would pay a fortune for it. And you can make use of the jacuzzi on the roof terrace, very romantic. read more

The hotel was only a stopover on the away to our diving cruise to Cocos Iceland. The room was for a night big enough, for a longer holiday we have had problems with our clothes (it was only a very narrow closet-perhaps the other room are better equipped). The waiters, the us at breakfast served, was very unfriendly and got a bit more friendly, when I had a few Spanish gekramt there. The atmosphere in the lobby, and winter garden room is very beautiful and tastefully. We would have liked to stay a few days longer. read more
