As Good As It Gets Best decision. This is a great hotel. I will qualify that by saying am blessed. I have been a global traveler my entire life. My Dad was an international business man. My first international trip was at 5 years old to Hong Kong. At the peak of my career I was in a hotel 200 nights a year for .... a solid 15 years of my 40 year career. Hotel Grano De Oro was perfect in every way. Our dinner at the Resturant was as good as it gets. 5stars in every regard.

Old world charm with modern luxury Luxurious hotel with fabulous service and beautiful old world accommodations. Jorge at the front desk took great care of us! Our international flight was 3 hours late, not arriving until after 2 AM and yet the driver from the hotel still met us. Check in was easy and the hotel beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed an amazing dinner of sea bass amongst beautiful Christmas decorations. This is a great find in San Jose.

Lovely hotel about 20 minute walk to the national theatre An oasis of calm in a beautiful building. Our room in the old building was beautiful, spacious, clean and comfortable. The restaurant was good too and we found the waiters polite and efficient but not overly friendly but all gave us a smile at the end of the evening or as we entered the restaurant. You can eat at the bar area if a table if unavailable in the main restaurant. Booking a dining table in advance is advisable as it was busy with locals as well as hotel guests for the 2 nights we stayed. It is about a 20 minute walk to the National Theatre on a busy road. Some sections of pavement are broken with large holes in places so beware in the dark or you have poor eye sight. We did a city 1/2 day tour which was well worth it as there are only a few buildings of note and good to know the history of San Jose.

A home away from home A beautiful old home remodelled to become an absolutely amazing hotel. Beautiful architecture, furnishings and fittings and a very friendly 5 star service all round. An a la carte breakfast included in the room rate is simply superb. No detail overlooked, we felt very much like part of the family and were well cared for. The coffee pods in our very spacious room were also of high quality. And the tap water was good to drink. Restaurant offerings were amazing, and the service could not be faulted

Lovely hotel - Staff can do better The property is beautiful. The staff in the reception were very kind on arrival. They helped us to arrange transport from the airport in advance, which was reliable and professional. The driver was on time and was so helpful. However, in preparation for our trip we tried to contact the hotel multiple times to explore possibilities to help us to arrange an excursion to the volcanoes. All of our emails were ignored. We also tried to ask for help and recommendations while there and the staff would just tell us to google options. Not very helpful. The bar at the hotel is really pretty. However, the staff at the bar at night are EXTREMELY rude. They act as if you are making them waste their time even though the price of the drinks is not cheap. Funnily enough the waiters working the breakfast shift were incredible. Make plans for excursions independently, do not count on the hotel. And either ignore the rude and snobbish waiters or get yourself to one of the many great bars around (Azotea 7 , Apocadero, etc) for better service. But the property is nice and the breakfast was incredible.
