calle 30, avenidas 2 y 4, 11856 San José, Costa Rica –

Lock in a great price for Grano de Oro Hotel – rated 9.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

Unfortunately my stay was a very short one... But the staff that I encountered were excellent and my room was upgraded with no extra cost. WE had a very quick light breakfast in the restaurant as were had to leave early in the morning to catch a shuttle and I arrived very late at night. I appreciated the complimentary fridge contents.

Elspeth, Canada

Beautiful boutique hotel in central San Jose. Worth every penny.

Judy, United States of America

Very authentic and comfortable. We are staying there again on the way out of Costa Rica.

Claudia, United States of America

While some tourists skip San Jose we wanted to see the sites and relax or first day after traveling. We spent two nights at Grano and would happily have stayed longer. The staff was terrific. Our room was lovely and immaculate. And the food....amazing! We saw several locals dining....always a good sign.

Mary, United States of America

Beautiful and well maintained hotel. The staff was very nice and helpful.

Virginie, United States of America

Atmosphere- it’s not a chain; it had a personal feel. The restaurant was very good with an extensive wine cellar. The staff were extremely accommodating. I didn’t bring a jacket and was on my way to visit the volcanoes. One of the receptionists offered me his coat for the day! Remarkable.

Robert, United States of America

It was so cute! Everything about the place is tasteful. From the moment you walk up to the place it is beautiful. Very clean, very friendly. The rooms are great and so are the amenities. It was also reassuring that there is 24/7 security outside.

Allison, United States of America

Superb staff, meticulously maintained hotel, got an email to coordinate my arrival, very personal front staff, welcome drink...one of the best experiences I ever had in a small luxury hotel

Oliver, United States of America

I have stayed at this hotel for 20 years. It is a joy to be welcomed back by newer staff . The restaurant is a big draw too.

Patricia, United States of America

Grano de Oro is a welcome respite from the hustle of the city. Located a few blocks from the central core of San Jose the hotel is a great spot to remain out of the noise and congestion but still remain central to it's many offerings. Felt like we were guests at someone's estate due to the service and quaint surroundings. The restaurant is one of the best in the city! Food was outstanding, the service sincere and attentive and the atmosphere was perfect whether sitting in the outdoor courtyard or inside the dining room.
