The view from our room of the adjacent park/plaza was great. The room was adequate. The waiters in the restaurant were phenomenal (Moises, Diego, Pablo, Marcela, Connor, and others. They made our meals outstanding. On the down side there is a minor complaint: the coffee pods were so dried out that they wouldn’t work in the in-room coffee makers. The maid Isera was very attentive. All went well. We will return.

Hotel was great. Nice restaurant for dinner. Loved the area around it. In the middle of many shops. Literally in front of the Opera Theater. Cons- after dusk the homeless/beggars are around and bother you as you are teyimg to sight see. But this is not a con to the hotel but of the area. So wake up early sight see and go back to room in the evening at least by 8pm.

You do not want to stay here. The location is abysmal, the food is TERRIBLE, and the valets (there’s no self-parking) are surly. Our shower flooded our bathroom every time we used it.

My husband and I stayed here for part of our anniversary trip and this is a great property. It's in a great location, close to everything you would need during your stay. There was a convenience store maybe a 3 minute walk away that we were able to get snacks and water for the room. The staff was great as well. Romy at the front desk and Marvin, who helped with our bags, were both friendly and helpful. I really cannot say enough great things about this hotel. We're already planning our next trip to Costa Rica and when we go back, we're definitely staying at Gran Hotel!

Not what I had hoped for. The rooms were very clean and new and everything worked, but the area is spotty around it, and the Food was sub par, small portions, and expensive.

The hotel was generally nice, clean, modern with a colonial feel. Little disappointed with the view, it over looked a tiled area facing all the other rooms so it generally felt quite dark in our room.

Great location, comfortable and all the “western” comforts and amenities we expect from Hilton. The bellhops- men working at street level were awesome. Front desk staff/girls were pretty clueless. But thanks to the guys downstairs we got everything we needed.

Hotel is beautiful and staff are fantastic and friendly. I would recommend. Only negatives are the walls are thin noise can be heard easily from other rooms, also dining there with limited options and expensive.

The staff is so helpful, from the valet to reception. Breakfast has many options including delicious granola. Bed was very comfortable The only thing I’d like changed is to have a real door on the toilet instead of the frosted glass door. Would definitely stay here again when we visit San Jose

Perfect property in central San Jose. Easy to walk everywhere. No car needed. Exceptional breakfast buffet which was included in our stay (to our surprise). The reason for a 4 star instead of 5 is that I reserved a Junior King room which is an upgrade to a regular king as it has an additional separate seating area. This room was on the interior of the building and the windows looked out into a small courtyard with rooms all around. We could look directly into other roomsand at people checking in at the front desk on the 5th floor (we were on the 4th). There was very little light coming in and even so we could not keep blinds open unless we wanted to be exhibitionists. I have never experienced a room like this. I would have preferred a room looking out onto the street. It was midnight and I was too tired to change. Fortunately we stayed out of the room most of the day and evening. It would have been nice to know the location beforehand (there is no mention of this online) and that it did not have an exterior view. Stay away from this type of room and you will have a 5 star experience here.

Our room had glass mirrors and a glass enclosure for the toilet and shower, so it was a voyeuristic experience. Great location but if all the rooms are this way, whoa. An employee said the rooms all had the mirrors and glass but I didn't verify. Maybe not since the reviews don't mention it.

What a gorgeous hotel. The room was giant and clean, I stayed for 2 nights and the concierge was more than helpful giving me restaurant recommendations and helping me find my way around. The breakfast was delicious and the bartenders super nice. Very quiet and nice stay. Highly recommended.
