Hotel Grano de Oro

Charming little hotel in San Jose. Restaurant was good but very slow (expected).

The Room with the patio was spacious. The bathroom was clean and the shower was very good, with good pressure and hot water. Breakfast was served from 7 am and everything was delicious. The Breakfast was served in a beautiful 'courtyard'. Room service was always delivered very quickly. Service was top-notch. As a Expedia Gold member I got a complimenary bottle of wine and a nicely stocked mini fridge with juice, sodas and snacks.

Our stay was best described as ‘short but sweet’! The hotel is truly amazing in terms of decor, staff and accommodations. Five star all the way! We enjoyed an amazing meal at the restaurant and breakfast was also superb. Our waiter, Roman, was absolutely the most helpful and cordial you could imagine. Truly an overall gracious experience. We’ll definitely be back to the Grano de Oro at our first opportunity.

What a cool hotel! We arrived and were met with a bellhop who took our luggage and we were able to check in early. We stayed in the deluxe room and it was lovely! There was a beautiful little garden with a fountain, comfortable beds, a spacious shower, and the room was clean! Sometimes in Costa Rica you find hotels that have some insects but not this place! Beautiful architecture! What a historical building it almost makes you want to cry! We had breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the hotels restaurant and each meal was lovely. We felt like royalty in the old Victorian style house. We loved the hot tubs on the roof and also did some yoga in the exercise area. All areas were clean and beautifully decorated with tropical plants. We were only here 2 nights but enjoyed every minute of it! We will definitely be back!
