The place is clean, well maintained and the personnel is very kind and helpful at the front desk. In the restaurant area English level is very limited but the service is still good. I have a few suggestions that may help the hotel, some I have already verbally made to Lucy, the manager: 1) the rooms need an ironing board, 2) Bathroom need skin lotion, 3) warn customers that rooms have no refrigerator but can be obtained if requested 4) place in the rooms a list of useful numbers and guided tours organizers contacts numbers, 5) how to call and numbers of emergency medical services, even room service number. 6) place a restaurant menu in the room with open-close schedule. Given the quality- price ratio, this is a great place, I would without hesitation go back there again and again! I strongly recommend the place assuming my suggestions will be addressed by my next trip, soon. NB: Some current construction work on the 4th floor, without being a nuisance can at times be disturbing but overall the place is quiet and Zen.

The front desk staff was amazing!! I was injured in an accident with multiple broken bones and unable to leave the room. The staff went out of their way to accommodate with calling every morning to ask if i wanted breakfast brought up to me, and making sure i was comfortable. The hotel is beautiful and the restaurant is delicious!! I would stay here again!!

A very cool hotel in a commercial area

Isla Verde is a boutique hotel with creative decor and a plant conservatory in the common areas, updated rooms, and a delicious breakfast buffet. I found the bed to be very comfortable, the bathroom was very nice and the room was really clean. There could have been more electrical outlets for charging the many devices we all seem to have. Knowing nothing about San Jose, I was a little concerned about the area but was reassured that there was a security guard posted at the front door. Also, in spite of being on a busy street, the room was very quiet. The front desk workers were great about helping us check out some plans we had made and suggesting driving routes. There were also a fair number of restaurants within walking distance of the hotel- we ate at Osteria Faina, which was wonderful.

My experience at Isla Verde Hotel was absolutely fantastic! From the moment I arrived, the staff provided exceptional service, always friendly and attentive to every detail. Their warm hospitality truly made me feel welcome. The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable—everything was spotless, from the rooms to the common areas. It’s clear that they take great pride in maintaining a pristine environment for their guests. One of the highlights of my stay was the on-site restaurant. The food was delicious, with a great variety of fresh and flavorful dishes. Every meal was a delight, and the ambiance made dining even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Isla Verde Hotel to anyone looking for a top-notch stay with excellent service, outstanding cleanliness, and a fantastic restaurant. I can’t wait to visit again!

Warm welcome despite a VERY late arrival.

We arrived from the airport VERY late, and the hotel had multiple staff waiting for us to help us park and to check us in. I am extremely grateful for this attention. We were tired, in a new place, and it was comforting to be welcomed in at such a late hour.

Fantastic Hotel Awesome Staff Great Location

I can not praise this hotel enough! The staff were amazing. so helpful and mostly spoke great English. For the price, the room was fantastic value. I had to extend my stay and was bumped up to an executive room, only one available at the time. they gave me a great discount on it. The inclusive breakfast was very good with a wide veriety of choices including eggs,meat, potatoes plantains, fruit selection, cerials and plenty of fresh bread, coffee, juice. Again all the service staff were very friendly. The breakfast area also served as a restaurant open to the public for lunch and dinner. There was alot of chinese type food as well as traditional type meals. I tried many of them while I was there and was pleased each time, both with the quality, price and amount of food. The interior of the hotel was very clean and very modern in a tasteful way. Location wise, it was about a 20 - 30 minute taxi ride from the main San Jose airport. Very good Uber services to all of the malls and parks etc.. I don't think I paid over $10 for any of those rides. If I ever get to go back to San Jose, this is where I will be staying! Thanks agaion to all the kind and helpful staff!
