Hotels near Mercado Nacional de Artesanias, San Jose

This place was good value for the money. We spent our last night in Costa Rica here. We stayed in the King sized room and there were also two single beds. It was very spacious and clean with lots of windows. Good wifi and comfortable bed. Many of the guests were young travellers so it resembles a hostel. The young women on the desk were pleasant. The walls are thin and we could hear every word our neighbours said but it quieted down around 11 pm. I would recommend this place.

We stayed for one night after arriving in San Jose. We got a taxi from the airport, which took about half an hour to get to the hotel. The hotel is really big and spacious, the rooms were comfortable, and we particularly enjoyed the lovely pool area outside where we could relax with drinks from the bar.

I cannot say one bad thing about this place. First class all the way. Beautiful rooms, rain shower heads, best beds and pillows ever, great and kind beautiful staff. The guys at the front desk became very vested in us, giving us info, storing our bags, always dressed perfectly, and always carrying themselves professionally. The breakfast buffet in the morning was great! The hotel is located in a quiet part of town, yet very close to bus routes, major highways, groceries, and parks. Guests have access to the pool next door which was small and cozy. There us a small gym downstairs with a few machines and weights. And of course the small ****** around the corner. A great value!

The best hotel I’ve ever been privileged enough to stay at. Barcelo San Jose this Gorgeous building, and it only gets more breathtaking when you walk in. High quality rooms and high quality service. Excellent property and very convenient to USC activities. Front desk staff is extremely efficient, pleasant and helpful. Property is clean and has a fantastic old time charm.

The staff was amazing. I stayed for 2 nights following out-patient surgery at a nearby clinic. The staff let me check-in and drop off my stuff at 7 a.m. - then they took it all up to my room for me while I had my surgery. Afterward, they assisted me to my room because I was still groggy from the general anesthesia. I was hungry since I hadn't eaten all day, but my stomach was a little off, so they had soup from the restaurant sent up for me right away. They arranged for a min-fridge in my room. They also made a point of asking how I was doing and if I needed help with anything. They were very kind and sympathetic. I was there alone, so their care was greatly appreciated. The hotel was beautiful and nicely decorated. The bed and pillows were comfortable. I had an inner room with a court-yard view, and everything was very quiet. Got great Wi-Fi at the room (2nd floor in the middle) - used my laptop to stream movies with no problems. The restaurant is attached to the lobby. It has Asian cuisine, but the manager had them make me a chicken sandwich special because my stomach was still sensitive even later that night. They were so kind and helpful. And the restaurant had really good food. The parking was also very easy, and they always had someone watching the vehicles. The breakfast was included and was good as well. It had typical Costa Rican fare like beans and rice, eggs, and fried plantains. They also offered toast, muffins, a few different types of cereal and granola, coffee, juice, milk, as well as various fruits and yogurt. I can't remember if there was a meat choice offered as well. I highly recommend this hotel. You won't be disappointed. This isn't a complaint - just an FYI - as with the majority of San Jose hotels, the cable provider they use has almost all of the programming in Spanish (it is a Spanish-speaking country after all). So, if you are an English-only speaker, you might be out of luck if you want to watch TV. They might have a way to switch it to English or add subtitles through the controls, so you will have to ask. I just used my laptop to watch TV/movies.

It should be the best hotel in downtown San Jose, with comfortable beds and pillows. Guest service is also ok. The breakfast is too bad, it is not worth the price. It is recommended that if one lives, or stays next to Sheraton, half of the price, but the room is large, breakfast is very rich.

I arrived in Costa Rica and this is where I spent my first two nights as I prepared for an extensive journey through the national parks. This hotel provided a fine room. The building is in the shape of an ”O”, with the pools and dining areas in the middle. There were many different types of birds flying around, the traffic noise was minimal inside the pool area, and I enjoyed relaxing in the pool area. Breakfast was excellent and available to all guests. Dinner was purchased in a smaller bar/dining area with an overhead view of the pool area. I ordered salmon, and it was surprisingly good! This is not a destination hotel, but it was just what I needed, as I got my international bearings. There is a tour desk, in which one may schedule a variety of tours and day trips of San Jose or areas around Costa Rica.

The hotel room is decent and the staff is friendly, but their billing system has serious flaws. I stayed there from February 9 and checked out on February 15th, paid in person at the counter according to the bill. But 2 days later I received a charge for the night of February 15 which is apparently a mistake because I checked out at 9:00 AM that day at the front desk and they even called me a taxi to take me to the airport. I contacted the front desk through email but they haven't responded. I called the Wyndham custmer service and they said they don't have access to the billing system in Costa Rica, and their website doesn't have a way for filing a billing dispute.
