Top San José Hotel Reviews

Gran Hotel Costa Rica, Curio Collection by Hilton

Gran Hotel Costa Rica, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"Gran Hotel Costa Rica is a charming hotel with a very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Although, we only stayed one night we were blown away by the charm and local atmosphere. You will be in the heart of San Jose city with green spaces, parks, beautiful people, culture, and historical landmarks like the National Theater of Costa Rica 🇨🇷 right next door. When we come back to San Jose, we'll definitely stay again."
