"Excelente ubicación del Hotel, queda a pocas cuadras del Jardín de Lolita y de la calle Cali donde hay varias discotecas y restaurantes. Está en una zona segura donde se puede caminar. La habitacion en la que me quedé fue una de abajo que se llama Sierpe, cuenta con 2 camas Queen, y estaban muy cómoda, sin embargo las almohadas eran algo duras. Esta habitación no cuenta con TV, ni baño privado, pero habían 3 baños disponibles y todos estaban muy limpios siempre. La atención por parte del staff fue cordial. El internet era bastante rápido y estable."

10/10 Excellent
"We are regular guests at the Gran Hotel Costa Rica—the grande dame of old downtown San Jose. When Hilton Curio took over about 8 years they modernized the property, while still keeping some of the old aesthetics in place. It’s an upscale experience and the Bdeakfast Buffet is amongst the finest I’ve ever had. The gym is also modern and well equipped. Still the best hotel in the downtown area especially for business purposes. Highly recommended."
