We weren't so impressed with this hotel. We arrived one day late, since we had problems with our flight. Despite sending an e-mail advising the delayed arrival, our reservation made weeks before had been cancelled when we got there. According to the staff, our e-mail was never received. (Note: During the booking/confirmation process some of our e-mails were received, but... More

The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. The shower/bathroom was very nice. The grounds were beautiful. The breakfast was absolutely fabulous! The breakfast alone was worth the price of the entire stay. The was the most amazing buffet we had ever enjoyed. We loved looking through the garden and we saw little animals eating mangos in the trees during... More

A lovely and quirky place to stay in San Jose. Central location, decent rooms and interspersed garden areas. The courtyards can be noisy if people don't monitor their noise / phone calls late so something to bear in mind if you're a light sleeper. The buffet breakfast was nice - omelettes made to order, fresh fruit, baked goods, cereals and... More

Hotel Aranjuez, is a charmer of a hotel, with lots of nooks and cranies, patios and gardens, and the best buffet breakfast in Costa Rica. You dine in a garden setting. The staff was very helpful and we took their Tortuguero tour, which we thought was excellent and a great value. We stayed at Hotel Aranjuez on four separate occasions.... More

I arrived at this hotel harried and overwhelmed. Arriving from the Panama border, my backpack had inadvertently been left by the bus company at the border! I was panicked and extremely distraught. The incredibly kind man who checked me in, Gregory, spoke flawless English and was determined to get to the bottom of the matter. And he did with utmost... More

This hotel seems to be very well known by travelers who look for great value and wonderful service. The taxi we took at the airport (regular, orange cab) took us straight to the place; our reservation was in place and our room was ready. Spot clean. It's a conglomerate of 5 antique houses with the special charm that it's easy... More

I stayed 5 nights in Hotel Aranjuez due to a previous booking and no where else to go. I would have left after one night. The neighborhood was seedy, parking was very very difficult (don't take a car), the walls were paper thin, the wood floors were like a drum with high heels & children playing. The desk people were...

I stayed at this hotel for arriving and departing San Jose during a 2 week trip with my parents. I have been in Costa Rica for 2 1/2 years and wish that I had found this hotel sooner. I have stayed in private rooms in hostels for the same price that you can get a room in this hotel, which... More
