“Good hotel but not the best”

It doesn't look like a 5 stars hotel, the rooms are rather old. The bathroom is small and not comfortable. We had to ask for the shower gel and shampoo refills. The breakfast could be better - coffee machine didn't work, ceiling fans make the area too cold, coffee cups are missing all the time. Without the car you can't really go anywhere. But the price for the night is equal to what you get.
Big comfortable bed, free shuttle bus to the airport, nice pool and looby area, friendly and helpful front desk staff.

Outdated decor in the rooms, was not what I would consider a 5 star as it's listed. Food in the main restaurant was bland and tasteless. Remote did not work properly on the television, called for service and noone ever showed up.
The beds were very comfortable. Free airport shuttle was helpful. They had a to go box breakfast option for those that leave before the free breakfast starts serving.

“Barceló San José went above and beyond our expectations and we will definitely stay here again!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Superior Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
The 2pm check-in is a bit late and since we had arrived early (10:00am) our room was not ready. We were able to leave our bags in the front lobby and the front desk staff were able to recommend places for us to shop downtown to pass the time. The hotel is also a bit away from shopping and near a busy highway so you need to ensure that you take a cab to get to shopping and other attractions in downtown San José.
The staff throughout the entire hotel are all very friendly and always ready to help out. The front desk staff easily arranged for us to have an airport shuttle ready to pick us up at 5:00 in the morning and offered to have breakfast boxes ready for us to take on our way out. Our flight ended up getting delayed but we had no issues changing the time of the shuttle and the staff gave us vouchers for the breakfast buffet instead. The breakfast buffet had a large selection of foods (including an omelette station). Everything we ate was fresh and tasty! Our room was very clean and the bed was really comfortable. The room service also tasted great and was affordable.
