Room was smaller than advertised, there was no view out of the window. Some staff were friendly, some were not. The breakfast was adequate but not memorable. Accommodation, breakfast and drinks were over priced - next time I would stay somewhere more interesting and cheaper for probably more.

This historic hotel has been renovated, keeping the original floor tiles in the restaurant, mezzanine, and entry lobby. The guest bedrooms and bathrooms are large, making the lodging very comfortable. The staff is cheerful, helpful and efficient. Rooms are vacuumed, linens changed, and bathroom floors mopped—every day of your stay. Exceptionally clean. The food is excellent, particularly the dinner menus, highlighting fish, shellfish from Atlantic, pacific and gulf, as well as regional specialties. If you are visiting for business-the key banks and government agencies are in this area. If you are a tourist interested in the museums, theaters and churches, this is an excellent location to lodge.

This hotel is superb. The rooms are incredible, (the food could be better) however the REAL problem is that area is a non starter. What’s the point of being in a good hotel if you are uncomfortable with the immediate vicinity in every direction. There were multiple cockroaches as soon as I stepped out onto the street every day. If you have to stay in the heart of San Jose then fine but if not, avoid hotel altogether. Don’t say you weren’t warned

Excellent hotel, room, staff, breakfast, gym. The only downside is the location, which is in the old downtown. Not much to do there, no high-end tourist places, no good restaurants walking distance. Would rather stay in Escazu which is where the action is.

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.

Very friendly and attentive Costa Rican staff... the 19th Century Prestigious Hotel (facade) has been wonderfully updated to the 21st Century...facilities and room...but the best is the Costa Rican staff...typical of Costa Rica, the most outstanding jewel of Costa RISA is the Costa Rican people, "Pura vida, tuanis."

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!

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.
