Gem find!!

Here with a friend for two nights in San Jose before we have an adventure around Costa Rica. Arrived a 12 hour flight and was tired and peckish. Chap on reception couldn’t be more helpful. We had Room 30 which was near reception. Only downside is everyone passed our room from…

Hotel's Favourite

Lovely, unique hotel with a to-die-for breakfast!

We really wanted to stay somewhere a bit different while we were in San Jose -- someplace that had unique character and good food. We found it! Our room was comfortable and quiet. And the garden in the center of the hotel is sweet and rustic. I woke up in the morning and drank…

Response from AranjuezHotelCR, Propietario at Hotel Aranjuez

Responded 4 Jul 2018

Thank you very much for your lovely review. We much appreciate that you have enjoyed the "unique character" of Hotel Aranjuez. During the last 26 years we keep working in order to preserve the five wooden houses that host Hotel Aranjuez. Through these patrimony houses dating from the 1940’s, we are inviting our guests to live a memorable and autochthonous experience. Our buffet breakfast is part of this unique experience that we are looking to provide to our guests. All we serve is made in artisan way. Once again thank you for your review and we hope you repeat your visit to Hotel Aranjuez very soon. Hasta entonces!

We stayed here for our last night in Costa Rica and really liked the place. It is quirky and rambling with lots of indigenous artwork on the walls. It’s in a great location and the staff are super helpful, particularly Francisco. We had a great breakfast too and would definitely…

Good location

We’ve stayed at Hotel Aranjuez many times since my wife’s aunt lives nearby. Normally we’re here for the first 2 and our last 2 nights before returning back home to the USA. In between we spend 7 nights near the ocean. The hotel offers clean reasonable prices, an excellent…

Good value

The hotel is fairly close to downtown and other cool areas. The neighborhood feels safe. The reception staff was super helpful and the breakfast buffet had lots of options. There is a good restaurant next door to the hotel. There was some noise in the apartment rooms where I…

Hi, How far are you from the downtown (St Joseph) Tracopa bus station?

We took Uber instead of taxis. Much cheaper. Would not recommend walking to downtown. It's a little far in the heat, many broken sidewalks and steep drops from sidewalks if you are not paying attention and lots of twists and turns, one way roads. Easy to get lost and end up hiking up hills like what happened to us.

We arrive late on a Thursday night. We would like to book our tours with the hotel. When is the tour desk open Friday? (We would still like to see something the next day after booking our tours in the morning, such as a City walking Tour or I hope the El Trapiche sugar cane tour, if you think this will be possible?)

Do you offer a tour to El Trapiche sugar cane farm?

Is there a Convenience store nearby for bottled water and sundries?
