Hotels near Tobias Bolanos Intl airport

Pros: Nice and neat hotel. Amazing staff and hosts feeling like home. Big and confortable rooms.

Pros: The location was a quiet, residential neighborhood. The rooms were nice and clean with a comfy bed. We liked the little garden space attached to the room where my husband did some work. Very nice staff. Stayed here twice- fir an overnight stay. We’ve read that it is owned by a Costa Rican family. When we can we like to support locally owned businesses vs chain hotels.

Pros: beautiful and well maintained hotel, friendly staff, super clean, just booked it again for the next stay!

Cons: -

Pros: great place not too far from airport. Right next to golf course with really nice family staff.

Pros: Very good location for transit , near the airport Very nice and welcoming staff

Pros: The staff and location were perfect for our stay.

Pros: Big and comfortable room. Great location near the airport and place to eat.

Pros: Quiet & Quaint hotel, great value. Free breakfast and wonderful views of the golf course and mountains.

Pros: Service is really excellent. Thanks to Xavier and the staff!

Pros: Good wifi, wonderful hosts, lovely breakfast (taking into account personal preferences), free parking, amazing house full of character with lovely back and front garden. Loved our breakfasts in the back garden.

Cons: No kettle in the room for the tea (only coffee maker). Too many personal objects and small art objects of the hosts, not much space to put our personal belongings, as furniture has those objects on it.

Pros: Nice hideaway, beautiful grounds, very clean, excellent hosts. Enjoyed the stay immensely. ♥️

Cons: No tv in the room but the balcony is wonderful

Pros: A beautiful dreamlike cottage set in wonderful gardens. The owners, Javier and Pilar are charming and have created a most elegant environment in which one feels completely at home.

Pros: After a 12 hour flight, this is the place to be. A gorgeous little B&B tucked away in the city only 15 mins away from the airport. My room was beautiful with a little balcony overlooking the garden. The rooms are what I imagine to be traditionally Costa Rican with lots of wood but I loved it. I instantly felt like I was on holiday when I arrived and was very relaxed. The breakfast here was delicious, with fruit salad, yogurt, granola, fresh juice, fresh Costa Rican coffee, bread, jam and eggs. I sat out in the garden to enjoy it and had the area to myself so took my time and read while I ate. The owners were very helpful in providing advice for the rest of my trip and local restaurants. I actually stayed here twice, one night when I arrived and one night before I left... it was that good!

Pros: The house is gorgeous, very clean and has a beautiful garden. Pilar was a great host and very accommodating. The house is hidden in behind a main road, giving the feel of being in the country in the middle of the city. We would definitely go back.

Cons: The only negative is getting to the property. The road to the property is the equivalent to an alley next to a restaurant. It is not easy to see or find and is off a very busy 4-lane street . But this is what also provides the privacy for the house.

Pros: Casa de las Tias was a unique experience which we will never forget. Xavier and Pilar are both charming hosts, with so much information to help plan your personal itinerary in Costa Rica. The house is absolutely beautiful, with lots of artwork to please the eye. They have also thought of all the small details to make your stay a most pleasant one: amenities in the bathroom, coffees, teas and snacks and comfortable bedding. Breakfast is prepared fresh for each guest every morning which you can enjoy in the garden.

Pros: This place is beautiful! The yard is gorgeous and the room is very cozy. The whole place looks like it’s out of a movie. I loved every bit of my stay here, would definitely recommend to everyone!

Pros: Extremely helpful and nice people, very clean and nicely equipped. The hotel has a good restaurant with different vegetarian options and a complete breakfast. It’s an oasis in the city. I would definitely stay again.

Cons: Nothing to complain.

Pros: First of all personel was amazing. Very communicative and helpful. Breakfasts are fresh and delicious. Room was very clean and all sort of covid restrictions were kept. I strongly reccomend to book this hotel for stay in San Jose. They have also great restaurant serving delicious food in big portions for reasonable price.

Cons: Wi-Fi connection could have been better.

Cons: The toilet paper is in a wierd position

Pros: Perfect hotel if you need to stay in SJ over night. We had to leave at 6:15am the next morning and as the breakfast only starts at 6:30 they prepared a takeaway breakfast for us with a nice coffee to go :) thank you!

Cons: It’s further from the airport then we thought, maybe 20-30min by taxi. They offer a taxt/shuttle for 30 dollars to pick you up from the airport. We didn’t know and paid around 40 dollars for a regular taxi.

Pros: The staff from parking to security to front desk were exceptionally nice and accomodating.

Pros: Very nice and modern hotel. Comfortable beds, good internet, exceptional breakfast. 15 min by car from SJO airport.

Cons: Nothing, everything is good and cosy. Excellente and warm reception...

Cons: Peacefu and lovelyl environment. Amiable abience good for business

Pros: Great and spacious rooms very clean.

Cons: Shower did not work. Only a view drops would spill out

Pros: One bedroom apartment was very spacious and had everything I needed (including a kettle to boil water, which really appreciated to make my babies bottles, as every hotel suite I’ve stayed in has never provided a kettle). Really liked that they had a heated pool and a cold water pool, as I was able to take my baby in the heated pool and loved playing in the water. The staff are super friendly. The receptionist Eunice was amazing and always went the extra mile to check I was happy and had everything I needed, and also helped me find things places to go in local area e.g the Saturday market.

Cons: The decor in the apartment I stayed in was old fashioned. However, it was sparkling clean, extremely spacious and had a fully equipped kitchen. They also provided a proper wooden crib for my baby with cute bedding. Theses little touches made my stay really comfortable and like a home away from home. They also provided a nice breakfast included in your stay (even though it was COVID). For breakfast you could get scrambled eggs, cereal, toast, fruit and yogurt and pastries. I would definitely stay here again.

Pros: I like the layout of the apartment. I like the kitchen which woz well stocked. They accommodated me when I asked for an extra mattress on the bed because it was very hard.

Cons: I didn't like that I requested a Room and didn't received after they told me that it was available. I had to wait to the next day for them to change my Room.

Pros: Everything was wonderful ♥️

Pros: The pool was amazing... Great location. Very nice staff. Comfortable bed and good size/layout.

Cons: Hmm... Nothing I think. All good. Was only two nights so didn't use the whole kitchen but all looked very new or well maintained!

Pros: The staff was super friendly and helpful The 2 swimming pools are nice. The heated one is like soaking in a bath :) The hotel is well located in Escazu, lots of shops and restaurants at walking distance.

Cons: The furniture is dated Internet was poor in the apartment lounge, the router and TV were in the bedroom There was not much choice for breakfast

Pros: We didn’t know anything about San Jose before booking here and think we accidentally booked in a much better location than expected. The hotel is in the area of Escazu which is closer to the mountains and the local area is full of shopping complex’s with Starbucks and restaurants and even a local huge shopping mall! The main centre is about 7 miles away and only around $4 in an Uber. We much preferred the area of Escazu than the main centre or San Jose. You also have the benefit of being close to San Antonio which is great if you want to explore the mountains.

Cons: The photos of the pool were deceiving. While we were there the hotel didn’t take the roof off so it was effectively an indoor pool. They may remove the roof is asked to, we didn’t ask. Also the pool is a lot smaller than a I thought it looked so you can’t swim laps in the pool or anything, it is more for a gentle paddle.

Pros: Check in very fast, friendly and helpful staff, good food & Covid regulations during breakfast

Cons: Pool /rooftop area should be improved, maybe some plants.. Pool is very tiny

Pros: the facilities, the cleanliness and how serious they took covid requirements- the gym, the pool, the rooms and the BEDS SO COMFORTABLE- so many channels on the TV, soundproof windows so important in san jose, such sweet and friendly staff, very quick when requesting something from the room. the parking garage was super easy and very safe. - the casino was a nice touch! honestly thought this was a great airport hotel!!! we had a lot of fun.

Cons: service was a bit questionable during breakfast- very slow and unorganized- we sat thru our 2 breakfasts in a row desperate for water that came at the very end- coffee took 10 minutes so i sat there with nothing watching everyone walk by and do other things. both morning i was asked for my coffee order and 5 minutes later someone else came over and asked for my coffee order- maybe if each person had set tables to tend to that could help? the restaurant food for dinner was not very good :( hard bun, dry burger, cold french fries. again they didn’t give us water.

Pros: Excellent option for 1-2 days

Pros: Breakfast

Pros: Everything was amazing

Cons: Having a corkscrew at the room

Pros: I have enjoyed staying there for the last 3 years and will continue staying there I enjoy the Casino and the staff there

Cons: I don't have anything to say that I didn't enjoy

Cons: We've stayed here before and things were better then. This time we reserved a crib ahead of time, and when we arrived we were told that the crib is on its way. 30 minutes passed and still no crib and no word from anyone. I called reception again and they said that the crib was not coming anymore since they didn't have one for us anymore. They didn't offer any solutions, just said no crib. I asked if there is a small bed they could wheel into our room and finally they agreed. Also there were a few blood stains on our bedsheets. Gross. I told all of this to reception when we checked out but they showed no concern.

Pros: The hotel staff was excellent with communication and accommodating my needs. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and well stocked with necessary items.

Cons: The hotel is a bit secluded and not within walking distance of anywhere, really.

Pros: The Sheratons transportation service is highly over priced use local cabs . They charge almost double the normal rate for shuttle service

Cons: The shuttle service is highly over priced and they don't know where they are going

Pros: Great place, very close to good restaurants. Nice facilities for a short or longer stay. Staff felt super nice and accommodating. Even though is located near downtown the room was super quiet, perfect for a good night sleep.

Cons: The pool was a bit filthy, looked like under-maintained, probably not many guests use it.

Pros: breakfast was delicious.

Cons: A little trouble with WI-FI on my phone. Maybe it was just me, since my laptop was fine.

Pros: The room is super clean

Cons: Bed was so so small / breakfast isn't th3 best

Cons: The property does not have any smoking areas.

Pros: Great location with many great restaurants steps away.

Cons: WIFI was horrible. I was working this trip and was unable to effectively hold WebEx meetings with my clients. That was a deal breaker. No CNBC. I work in finance and expected CNBC to be a channel option which is necessary for my job. I had to buy a CNBC Pro subscription for $300 to stay up to date on the markets. I am moving to an Airbnb today where I have stayed in the past where the WIFI is good and channel selections much better.

Cons: Breakfast staff service was inconsistent they often seemed overwhelmed eventhough we needed to reserve a time for breakfast as a result of reduced restaurant capacity due to Covid - 19 sanitary restrictions imposed

Pros: Everything!! Very helpful staff, courteous, nice restaurant and food. Close to shopping, WAL-Mart, Multiplaza, etc

Cons: ?????

Pros: The staff was excellent, both professional and friendly.

Cons: Food server coughed at the omelet station. Although they made a huge improvement in the oatmeal after my instructions, they can go a little further still.

Pros: The room was good but what you'd expect for $85. The staff were OK although the receptionist did tell me that transport to the airport was $25 (probably to jsutify their own charge) yet it was $20. In fact it was the honest taxi driver who told me the standard fare was 12,000 colones when i asked if it was 15,000!

Cons: The hotel description says "Just a 5-minute drive from Tobías Bolaños Airport". this is absolutely WRONG. it took me 52 mins in traffic (6pm) and 15mins in no traffic 4:45 am. the hotel description also says "airport transfers can be organized on request" which given this is in the same description where they say its 5 mins you expect to be free most of the other hotels near the airport. However to be sure i asked the hotel (on the booking.com site) if there was a charge for transport but they never replied. Then when i rang the hotel from the airport on the day I arrived they told me the charge was $25 each way. In other words if you're overnighting solo between flights the cost of transport is more than 1/2 the hotel rate! For the hotel to say on booking.com that they are 5 mins from the airport and then charge US$50 round trip is treating customers with contempt

Pros: Upscale... crispy clean-beautiful art

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Art work, breakfast, helpfulness cleanliness

Cons: At times the COVID protocol was inconsistent

Pros: Service ,clean rooms and security

Pros: Eclectic art work, very clean

Cons: Very noisy room location.

Cons: Beautiful and relax atmosphere. Smell good and clean. But... Peephole on door was backward!?, the room had a glasdoor that doesn't look very secure so we moved a commode to make it impossible to open without effort. Woke up because a party or at least a karaoke till 1:00 a.m. Hard to sleep again. Breakfast was good and the cookers were kind and affable.

Pros: I like it really nice

Pros: View on 6 floor was great. Costa Rica at any side look awesome Breakfast was similar but ok! Overall price/quality is good

Cons: First time in life it wasn’t any water included. I ask on reception and they said that I should buy in restaurant (3.5$ for 0.5!) Also there is no mini bar or fridge Swimming pool depth is 0.5m I think. You will touch bottom while swim. Mb it’s for kid , i don’t know) All tv channels were on Spanish

Cons: We did not receive help from the hotel to bring our four suitcases to the room. Not pretty.

Cons: internet connection in my room was not ok but i was so tired that i could care less

Cons: We booked a superior king room, and we're put in a standard. We asked and they lied ,then played stupid.

Pros: Love the location and the rooms

Cons: Breakfast isn’t great, options very limited

Cons: The air conditioning never worked. And the room service doesn’t work late hours

Cons: Noisy room.

Pros: Tico breakfast was "solo bueno," which is a new Tico slang for 'tuanis,' which is old Tico slang for great. The coffee was excellent. Enjoyed all the staff, very friendly and professional. A short 'safe' walk to the Argentinian steakhouse Terruño, which, in my opinion, was brilliant.

Cons: For my purpose , the location was difficult; required expensive taxis.

Pros: booking.com is the worst company i have ever dealt with

Cons: booking.com map page. customerservices

Pros: Everything was perfect. The room, the restaurant and service.

Cons: No complaints.

Pros: Great service. Great staff. Great breakfast. Great location.

Pros: Housekeeper Lina was a superstar...my wife stayed behind getting ready for a huge graduation cermony of our daugther and needed a few items to help with our daughters dress and outfit....Lina not only got them, but also made our room so quaint and adorable! We will be back...thanks Lina!

Cons: Lighting is poor for a Marriott...we understand saving on energy....but please add one bright light for makeup, shaving, in the bathroom....plus one for reading...I could not read at night nor could i even read the rooms ervice menu!

Pros: Maria at reception was exceptional. Very friendly and helpful. Cleaning staff left the room perfect.

Pros: Beautiful property, staff was friendly but a little cold. You had to greet them once you did they would give you a hello or smile. That being said never rude and very helpful.

Pros: Really pretty hotel. Close to the airport. The grounds where lovely. Grocery store across the street. Good restaurant on property but other options in walking distance.

Pros: Cleanliness, value for money, quiet hotel

Cons: Cost of beverages

Pros: Everything was superclean, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the breakfast was amazing and the pool including the palm trees is the perfect place to relax.

Pros: I had a quick 3 days and nights and was welcomed by wonderful staff. The property was a contained safe haven from the city and I enjoyed all my meals pool side. I would stay here again when going to San Jose again.

Pros: Clean, great personnel, anything you need you get. Great kitchen

Cons: /

Pros: The kindness of their staff is something remarkable of Hilton Doble Tree Cariari and it’s really near from the airport.

Cons: They didn’t have any bottle of water at the room, as courtesy or even payed. They neither had frigo bar at the room.

Pros: It’s close to everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The staff was super friendly and they let me cook my own food in their personal kitchen. Not something they usually do but I had dietary restrictions which didn't allow me to eat out, so they were super accommodating. It was greatly appreciated.

Cons: I didn't not like anything. My only "complaint" would be that I got a bit cold at night so another blanket in the room would have been nice.

Pros: The staff was very attentive. The whole place was very clean and felt homey.

Cons: The hotel managers were wonderful. I highly recommend this hotel. It was my best hotel experience I've ever had in Costa Rica. The location is walking distance from downtown Escazu. I give this hotel a "two thumbs up!"

Pros: It was close to everything

Cons: The system to enter the building is ridiculous. The breakfast was not impressive

Pros: Comfortable hotel, good location and friendly, accommodating staff. We have stayed there numerous times over the years and it is alway per expectation.

Pros: atmosphere and staff

Cons: the property could use some upgrades.

Pros: Best hotel in San Jose . Staff is the friendliest , pool is amazing and room was so comfortable

Pros: The staff, owner, the hotel is very quaint

Cons: Not much maybe the music a little loud

Pros: It is a beautiful property located close enough to the San Jose airport to be convenient, but far enough away to feel like you are on vacation. The pool and property are beautifully kept and the rooms are classy and clean. The best part about my stay was the food. The chef here is amazing and the food (and drinks) are affordable. I have been to Costa Rica many times and this is some of the best food I have had in this country.

Cons: There is not a lot to do right in the vicinity, but the staff is knowledgeable about Costa Rica and can facilitate anything beyond the resort.

Pros: The property is clean and well managed. The manager, Carlos, he is an amazing host, he really makes hospitality an experience here.

Cons: Probably the location, but due to restrictions and it having a pool is a minor thing actually.

Pros: An excellent boutique hotel, exceptional staff, attentive owner. This boutique hotel seems to be in the middle of everything! We were originally reserved for two nights and stayed five. The pool area and bar was cozy and beautiful. The bartenders were excellent. The chef prepared our food to order and it was delicious. We go to San Jose every so often and we have now found our place to stay...every time.

Cons: Every facet of this stay was great. Friendly staff. Great room. And great property.

Pros: Over and above all the other brilliant aspects, the staff have been absolutely amazing. So helpful, friendly and supportive if you find yourself in need. Thank you so much.

Pros: It's a lovely little place. The staff was helpful and friendly. The breakfast, though not included, was very nice. Fresh coffee was available almost 24/7.

Cons: The location is not great, but the staff can call taxis which come very quickly and are very reasonable. My only reason for not rating Colours "excellent" overall is that the internet signal is so weak in most rooms that all of the customers we talked to were mildly annoyed that they had to come into the lounge area to effectively use their electronic devices. Repeater technology is so simple and inexpensive that there really is no excuse for this.

Pros: The reception pool area is awesome, friendly staff, nice shower and room decor

Cons: Room was pretty small for 2 people

Pros: I will always stay at this property going forward

Pros: Everything was wonderful!!!

Pros: The food was wonderful… And your staff is very friendly

Pros: The hotel has nice amenities such as a pool, free parking, free airport shuttle, and included breakfast. The staff were all very nice and accommodating.

Cons: The rooms feel small and dingy and the hotel layout is strange. There are no elevators, which is a pain when traveling with luggage and tired children.

Pros: Tropical and peaceful

Cons: All good

Cons: Facilities seems old and due to the wind looked dirty and with no mantainance at all.

Pros: Room was incredible and clean. Inside of facility needs upgrades , lights were flickering, need replacement. Loved the shuttle to airport

Pros: Good Dinner, free breakfast bar, convenient to airport, for 1 or 2 night stay. Nice courtyard/pool area. Free WiFi. Great for the price.

Pros: Nice stuff very helpful ,clean room , Nice and clean swimming pool and the delicious breakfast

Pros: I liked the idea of a full breakfast

Cons: No rice and beans on the breakfast buffett!!!!!! (Costa Rican Staple) seems as a converted property to use as a hotel. The rooms and grounds were set up strangely and there were many stairs to travel from location to location on grounds. If driving your own vehicle, this hotel is very hard to find.

Pros: service, Courtesy, confort, convenience

Pros: The hotel is interesting. The rooms are also setup strangely but comfortable. Good breakfast

Cons: This place was sooooooo hard to find. We drove past it a couple of times. It doesn't look like a "normal" Country Inn and Suites. We didn't have the luxury of a picture before we tried to find it. There was NO sign!! They claimed it was down getting repaired. The front lobby looks like an office building. Please get that sign up!!

Pros: King size bed

Cons: The cockroaches.

Pros: Such a sweet courtyard

Cons: It was a little hard to find

Pros: But not any loud noise. Owner is very friendly and helpful. Nice Garden. Very good Bed.

Cons: The Pool was in preparation and could not used, but the price per Stay was the same like with pool. Breakfast is very less. You need to eat it twice or three times, then you could be ready. Breakfast is just two letters of milky toast with some sugar and some fruits and one glad of juice (to much combined with water). But Coffe as much as you want.

Pros: Easy to get there, clean and pretty.

Cons: The bed was too noisy, the bathroom too small. The old man who opened the door at night was very nice, but the lady from the breakfast really needs to improve her customer service skills.

Pros: The owners and staff are so hospitable!

Cons: The owner was rude (although her son wasn’t) but the worst part was the bed! First of all, I reserved and paid for a Queen Room and the bed was definitely a full that my boyfriend and I could not even fit in and it was basically a metal frame. Extremely uncomfortable!! Couldn’t sleep and was in a LOT of pain the next morning. We only stayed one night just to sleep before our flight but it was horrible!

Pros: We stayed at this hotel just for one night, due to the delayed departure of the flight. However, this hotel exceeded our expectations, everything was clean and great staff. The breakfasts were beyond praise! Also this hotel is located in a safe area where you can walk

Cons: -

Pros: Very nice ppl running it. Clean for the most part. Exactly what we needed. Near the airport.

Pros: The place was clean and care for.

Cons: Hotel is right off busy highway and the traffic is right behind your head while you sleep. The wall isn't complete, so it is quite noisy. We were told there was a shuttle to the airport, but there was not and we had to pay for the taxi.
