Centrally located

Schnappi
- Jan 21, 2012
I chose the hotel because it was centrally located and we could see and do a lot of things in the afternoon we were in San Jose. They are renovating the lobby area and when they are done it will be a perfect downtown location, on the corner, having a coffee or a meal watching people walk by (it is in a pedestrian zone). Right now they have the restaurant and bar opposite the reception area and it does quite well. What is really great is that they have airport transportation which is only 25US Dollars.

We stayed three nights at the Barcelo and enjoyed every one of the! The gardens were lovely, and the buffet was delicious. The hotel was rather distant from the airport, but it was a straight shot and easy to find. Our drive to downtown San Jose cost between $7 and $9 in a cab and didn't take too long. Everyone at the hotel was helpful and friendly. We plan to stay here on our next visit to Costa Rica.

MVU1
- Jan 23, 2012
We stopped in San Jose for one night due to a connecting flight issue and chose this location. They have pools, shuttles that comes and gets you at the airport for free and have restaurants in the hotel as well as a "mall" across the street. It was a bit chilly for us to actually get in the pool, but the drinks were nice and the grilled chicken we had across the street for dinner was amazing! The next morning we went down stairs for the buffet breakfast and everything we ate was wonderful. Sitting by the pool with quiet breeze, eating a tropical breakfast was just right to start out a day off to the Nicoya Peninsula.
Overall the experience was clean, friendly and super convenient.

This hotel pays close attention to detail. The staff, especially the receptionist on duty thoughout my 6 night stay ,always greeted me with a smile and was always eager to help me. The pool looked welcoming, but it was lousy weather when I visited in November. The breakfast buffet was excellent with a little variety each day. The restaurant menu wasn't very large, but geat food. I will stay here again if I stay in San Jose again.

Decent hotel but bad location

pzhem
- Dec 20, 2011
The hotel was decent, the restaurant was good. Specially the breakfast was really good. The staff was very polite and friendly. I also got a free complimentary drink coupon. The round trip shuttle service to airport is very convenient. Please be aware that the shuttle service is not through hotel. Its through Gray line. And the shuttle might not even have any logo or identification. There would be a person with your name sign waiting for you at the airport for pickup.
The only problem with this hotel is the location. The neighborhood was pretty bad. I was there only for a night and totally avoided stepping out of the hotel.

After driving through San Jose and not seeing much of the city's safest place, i have to say we were comforted to arrive at the hotel. It's safeguarded and it is actually located in a nice area of the capital. The service was amazing, and we immediately ate at their restaurant which was delicious and affordable.
The room is nice but not amazing. I think the mattress and sheets are a bit outdated and it was a bit cold at night.
Breakfast was great and overall the hotel was of great value for its price.

Our children are both studying abroad in Costa Rica, this hotel was recommended by my daughter's Tico Mami and Papi. Although we were only able to spend one night there with our kids, this was a perfect place to meet. It is close to where they are going to school and gave us an impression of the Costa Rica they were exposed to. The hotel is quaint and beautiful...the rooms are super clean and well kept. The really great thing about this hotel is the staff, I don't think I've met nicer people anywhere in the world...If my wife and I ever make it back to Costa Rica we would go out of our way to stay there again. The restaurant is great, and a perfect place to have a conversation with the ones you love...some good food, a couple cerveza's and accomidating staff...they let us stay late...All in all, a magical evening. [...]...your english rocks...[...], thanks for letting us stay late!

The hotel is very nice and offers a great breakfast and excellent staff. Very friendly and helpful. There are two restaurants to walk to right next door, but the Dennys is very expensive. Hotel shuttle was great. a very good hotel to stay at. Try to get a room on the other side of the hotel from the road as we heard a bit of truck noise during the night.

When we 1st arrived I thought we would have to 1st catch a cab to the hotel but there was a man with my name waiting for me outside. That was a surprise and relief!!! Not too thrilled when I arrived at the hotel because the front desk staff had told me they gave my room away to some other group which arrived unexpectedly after having my reservations for over 3 months. They accomadated me and my mom to a resort nearby which was nice but too peaceful. After putting my foot down and explaining things like this shouldnt be done to someone who traveled so far, the front desk manager upgraded me and my mom to a better room and continental breakfast while our stay there.

The Sleep Inn is a very nice hotel in the center of the city of San Jose, Costa Rica. There are no swimming pools or trendy restaurants on the property but there is a non-smoking casino which is small but adequate for a gambler. Across the parking lot, there is the Magnolia restaurant and casino which is nice except smoking is allowed. The restaurant has a nice ambience and the food is about the best in San Jose. The menu is very big and the prices are ever-so-reasonable. The Promenade is two blocks away with several stores loaded with almost everything one would want. Also, everyone working at this hotel is very helpful in answering questions and most employees speak English. The gift shop is small and a bit on the high side. This is a VERY CLEAN hotel with great maid and room service.

Things to know

MsKream
- Jan 24, 2012
The staff was friendly, I definitely had my favorites. The hotel was small but nice, didn't mind the older style of it as it had all the necessities. Things you should know: When booking tours through the hotel, keep in mind that they will charge an exchange fee in addition to the cost for the tours; it's not the US, they aren't required to inform you. Our single bedroom was small and the bathroom wall didn't go all the way up to the ceiling, the wall stopped midway and was open to the bedroom...make sure you keep the fan on and the TV volume up. There were only three pre-set options for breakfast, dinner was amazing there, you really can't go wrong with your selections.

The staff treated us royally. They were responsive and helpful as well as very personable.
The building is very old, but is being refurbished and has some wonderful features. If you are looking for Holiday Inn, this isn't it. If you want character and charm, book Hotel Santo Tomas!
The furnishing were very nice and the beds quite comfortable.

Great Hotel

DNice
- Jan 19, 2012
I was thrilled. This place was so much better than any upgraded suite at any hotel in the states. It had a real kitchen w/ large stainless steel fridge / freezer, oven, microwave, stove, dishes, utensils, pots, a measuring cup, tea kettle, coffee machine, etc. Not that you'd be cooking there, but it was a truly livable space. It felt like I was subletting someone's apartment in a really nice condo. There was a semi separate living room w/ futon couch, 2 bathrooms, then the Queen sized bedroom w/ a door for added privacy just in case there was a 3rd guest. My wife and I loved it. The layout and decorations are on point, efficient use of space, loved the wood trim. The pics don't do it justice. The surrounding neighborhood of Escazu is really exclusive with high end condo complexes, all in large walled enclosures w/ 24 hour guards at the gates. The hotel has the same setup, hence security is assured, but I did not see any vagrancy or suspicious activity on my evening walks. There a a few plaza's in short walking distance, but you'd probably need to get a cab to go to the nearby Multiplaza Shopping mall or the Central Downtown area, each ride should run you a little less than 6000 colones. The free Hotel's breakfast was not typical so you will not get Gallo Pinto there, but it's still great, most notably for the Paris-Grade Croissants that they serve, papaya and pineapple, assorted cheeses, and great smooth Costa Rican coffee. The staff was very friendly and helpful, I tip my hat to receptionists Eunice and Yantzee, the rec'd taxi drivers were great too. The in-room WiFi worked after the tech helped me with it. The pool, jacuzzi and gym looked great but I never used them. We used the hotel mostly as a central hub from which we went on various tours. The only reason I gave the 4 as opposed to a 5 is because it would have been ideally situated if in short walking distance from the MultiPlaza. Overall, this hotel was great and if in Costa Rica again, this will be my 1st choice.

The only one suggestion we've is if they can change the bed (at least in room 112).

Stayed just one night at the end of our Costa Rica trip. Beautiful hotel, wonderful restaurant, SUPER comfortable beds; but I wouldn't venture too far from the grounds (if at all). It was a nice little retreat in a surprisingly urban setting.

We stayed here for the first night we got into Costa Rica, and the last, before flying out. The shuttle was right there when we got arrived, which was very helpful, the reception was pleasant, the design of the hotel is very Costa Rican, and everything was satisfactory. We had breakfast the morning after we arrived, and it was a very ample and tasty hot breakfast, with eggs made to order. We were amazed to find that it came with the room! Very great value.

The stay was great, it is next to a large lovely
park and about a 15 min. walk to downtown and
museums. The breakfast was incl. and it was great
food. My only complaint was when we arrived at the airport and called for a ride the person at the desk
could not verify our hotel reservation and told us we could not have their shuttle service and we should take a cab.
When we arrived at the hotel he apologized to us that
he made a mistake and they should have picked us up. They did give us a shuttle back to the airport.

Comfortable beds. Clean. Good free breakfast. Free shuttle (although they may not tell you it's free).
