Jason
This is the perfect last minute stay before your flight the next morning. It's an older hotel, clean with all the basic amenities. It provided an airport shuttle to the airport which is what was most convenient because we returned our car rental the night before. Extremely helpful and friendly staff. The price was right!
Jacqueline
No hot water in the shower. Charged us an extra 15USD for the 2nd person in the room. Food was so-so and pricey. They offered fruit for the morning as we were leaving before breakfast was served. They gave us one small container - enough for one person.
We’ve been staying here regularly when we arrive and prior to leaving Costa Rica over the years as have friends and family based on our recommendation. Sadly, we will likely change hotels based on our last experience. Very disappointing. I will no longer recommend this hotel.

Rachel
It was very convenient to stay here. The grounds were well kept and the staff was very helpful. The wifi was iffy, that was my only concern.
Stephanie
The highlight was the breakfast as it was delicious. However, when we arrived around 10 pm from the airport and were tired the man at the front desk made us wait while he called uber to yell at them. Then we attempted to sleep, but it was so loud with cars, very loud planes overhead, dogs incessently barking, a rooster starting at 2am and cats fighting what sounded to be right outside our door. The women working at breakfast was hard working and pleasant and helped with an uber booking so she and breakfast added an extra star.
Gary
shuttle was very good, staff was very friendly, room was clean, will stay again.
carelle
Le personnel ainsi que le déjeuner était parfait mais la propreté des lieux et de la chambre laissait à désirer . L’endroit est très bruyant également même la nuit
Luke
This is a great airport hotel. Great value and nice staff. The only issue was that there were a lot of bugs in the room that we had to kill when first got there.

Caroline
EVERYTHING about my stay was excellent. AS good as any top star accommodation AND the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and accommodating throughout.
My room was spotless, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was lovely and spacious, hot water shower, -all the details down to the lighting options had been thought of. The outdoor areas were charming, felt as if guests had been invited into a welcoming home space.

Wanda
Once you get into the gate, the grounds were welcoming. The front desk staff was friendly at check-in and it was great to be able to have a shuttle in the morning. I did have to wake up the front desk person at 4am upon check out. The air conditioning didn't work and the TV had no sound. The listed price is for one person. They charge an additional $15 per person. You will hear every plane landing and taking off, so don't expect to sleep.
Jennifer
The entire property is neglected. The pics online are obviously from many years ago. The paint is peeling off everything including the pool. There were weeds and dying foliage around the whole property and the bathrooms, specifically the shower was dirty, moldy and old.
Madeleine
I rarely leave reviews even when an experience is subpar, but felt the need to review Hotel Brillasol specifically because of the receptionist who was present when I arrived. I was taken aback by how rude he was. Right off the bat he seemed frustrated when I addressed him in Spanish (I’m not fluent, but certainly proficient and able to communicate). He spoke back to me in English, which was completely fine, except for the fact that he clearly didn’t understand my English very well. I arrived late (just after 11p), and requested an early shuttle at 4 or 415am because my tickets for my AM flight requested I arrive at 415. He told me “one hour is better”. I told him I would like to be there at the time my ticket recommended—415–and he seemed to agree/understand. There were essentially no lights outside of reception, and he gave me incorrect instructions about where my room was before handing me the key and telling me to go. It took me several minutes to actually locate the room, and I had difficulty with the key once I did. I tried turning it both directions, and it would simply turn three times both ways without unlocking. I wasn’t given instructions about the lock. When I went back for help, he looked at me like I was stupid, threw his hands up and said “¡Ay, Dios!”. He angrily followed me to my room and unlocked the door.
Linda
Extremely clean. Great staff. Lovely food. Beautiful safe surroundings.
Castula
Breakfast was ok same breakfast every day. Staff was super friendly. Pool it's ok. The room was dated.
KARELLE
Staff is friendly and hotel is as described!
Mark
Room clean, comfortable and close to the airport. Good value for a layover to catch a morning flight. Proprietor gave us and 2 other guests a free shuttle to the airport. Great service from a friendly and welcoming host.
Darcy
Just a quick stop before we flew home - only 3 miles from the airport via side roads was a dream! Cute little hotel- not fancy, but enough beds for all, a good little variety at breakfast and we'd definitely plan to start and/or end future trips from this friendly little place!
Lori
Read on line, if leaving around 4 am, they will give you a sandwich and juice, since its before breakfast time. The man at the desk did nothing for us. He may have been bothered since I had to wake him up.. The lady who checked us in was very nice.
Jana
We really enjoyed the outdoor lounge/game area next to the pool. And we really enjoyed the breakfast in the morning. The room was bare bones, no decor. One pillow per bed. But, that being said, it was cool, clean, and comfortable. There was a bit of an ant problem in our room. We let the host know, and she was going to get it taken care of. Also a little misleading that it is an “airport hotel”. It is actually about a 20 min. drive to the airport.
Desiree
Very friendly staff, great breakfast, ac in room did not work but fan did
Damian
Very nice
MARIAMA
Stayed for one short night right before my flight breakfast was great. It was nice to hang out by the pool and the pool table where they had little board games and stuff like that - staff was very friendly and helpful. The shuttle got me to the airport on time I would stay again
Malik

It was great, close and convenient to the airport, great breakfast and common areas
Angel
Cute hotel creates a little tropical oasis in the middle of an inner-city area with lush landscaping and resort-like amenities on a smaller scale. Felt safe with the gate. Rooms could use some upgrades, but were spacious and clean. Convenient location close to airport and they even offer airport shuttle service. The included breakfast was more than adequate and served on a cozy outdoor patio. Can’t beat it for the price. I would return here.
John
Very friendly staff nice dinner and breakfast followed by the shuttle to the airport very nice
Elizabeth
They were very accommodating and helpful made great homemade drinks and had a fun place to hang out. They gave us a ride to the airport at 4 AM.
Sarah
We were only there for one night, but i would definitely stay there again! The staff were lovely and breakfast was just what we wanted; fresh fruit, eggs, rice, beans, coffee, orange juice, fresh homemade yogurt, etc.

Cheap on food, 2 slices of pineapple and watermelon and a tiny slice of 1 bread. Not worth the money. Great stuff and good location but yes the breakfast isn't very satisfying.
No shampoo and conditioner included nor water. You have to buy it from the reception office.

Mike
Proximity to airport is good. Difficult to find as it is unsigned, and access is closed by a large solid metal gate, unmarked.
Phil
Great place with a pool and great little restaurant. Breakfast was included and was very hearty. The staff were excellent, and the place is very clean. The only downside is that it is directly beneath the flight path so you have to get used to hearing planes overhead, but not all night. Excellent airport transfer time with it being only 4 kms away from SJO, but if going during rush hour in the morning, give yourself extra time (it took us 40 minutes to get to SJO due to traffic). We would definitely stay again.
Mark
Hard to find. Tough neighbourhood. No sign on street for the hotel, only a partially broken \"doorbell\" to open a large metal door to enter the property. Room had broken drain on sink, which splashed on floor when used. Some shower fixtures starting to rust. Staff friendly. Restaurant acceptable. Bed ok. Wifi ok.Price and distance to airport ok.
Melanie
Lovely place, clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff
Sean
The shuttle is only for return, not pickup from the airport. I would have booked somewhere else for that reason alone. I understood transportation to be for pickup. Once onsite, it was great for an affordable airport hotel.
Soumya
This place has a private gate that once you drive through, you enter into a quaint setting with beautiful flowering trees! I was completely surprised because the drive to the area was on busy streets. I thought there would only be unsafe street parking, but there was ample parking behind the gate.
The pool was nice, the staff was very friendly, and dinner was good. The bathroom was spacious and the lighting was good. Beds were comfortable. I would feel safe having this as home base while exploring nearby. However we vacationed in La Fortuna and only used this as a quick stay before a flight home.

I booked this hotel for the shuttle and \"airport\" location. We are a family of five and they only provide shuttles for 4 and less.. also it is not close to the airport by CR standards.
Anzhelika
This property is excellent for the travelers who have a flight.
Gwen
I love this property. I’ve stayed here several times over the past 10 years either arriving or departing from SJO. Due to its proximity to the airport you hear planes coming and going, so I wouldn’t spend my entire vacation here although it is a beautiful quaint place. I love the convenience and can’t beat the price for what you get.
Susan
Pros: Very friendly & helpful staff! Airport shuttle. Great breakfast w/dinner as an option. Nice grounds in a gated area. Pool, leisure areas and massage available.
Cons: Very basic room; bed & pillows could use to be updated. Noisy due to other guests milling about and some overhead planes sounding as though they're about to land on top of the room.

Paula
The hotel grounds were nice. The room was tiny and very old. The sheets were yellow colored, and the bathroom was damp and covered in old green tile. I would not stay there again.
Samantha
Great family business, convenient and comfortable
We stay overnight here every year and always enjoy coming back. Very nice family business and very helpful with great customer service.
Lily
The hotel staff is very nice. The food at the hotel is good and the price is reasonable. The area inside of the hotel, it’s nice and comfortable. But outside of the hotel, it is a relatively poor area. It’s nice that free shuttle to airport is provided (even though we had to leave at 4:30 am) and breakfast is provided too.
Brien

A perfect spot to start my adventure in Costa Rica- close to airport to rest and get acclimated. My hostess was a delight.

I came in late after a delayed flight amd was checked in by the nicest young man named Tommy. He gave me a wonderful tour of the property and amenities. This will now be my go to place when leaving and arrivijg in Costa Rica!!!! All I can say about my experience is EXCEPTIONAL!!!

I am super satisfied with my stay. Just note that you will hear planes but the place is so awesome I plane noise becomes secondary. Breakfast is delish and restaurant food tastes very much like super yummy home cooking. Honestly hard to beat. Brillasol is love all around. Thank you Luis, Robert, Laura, Maria, Celta and all others too. I will come back again for sure❤️🙏

We arrived after 7 pm and the staff at the reception area were so friendly and accommodating. We had not eaten supper and even though their restaurant was closed they made us a delicious fish. rice & beans, plus veggies dinner as well as fresh fruit drinks! Great experience, plus they also found us a personal tour guide to take us to Cartago to see some of the places of interest then onto our next stay! Thanks so much everyone.
Kristen
Family of 5 (kids 14, 11 and 8) stayed 1 night before our flight back home.
Simple, basic hotel. Friendly staff.
Breakfast included, but we didn’t have a chance to try it because of an early flight.
Dinner available, but you need to make your selections early so that it is ready when you want to eat. We made our selections at 4:30pm and it was ready for us when we arrived at 6.
Pool was relatively small, but adequate. It had a nice waterfall feature. The water was cold, so the kids didn’t want to swim when we arrived at 4pm. If sun was shining on the pool it might have been ok. There were nice plants throughout the property.
Pool table available
Bathroom: it only had one type of soap in the shower. I brought small bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body wash, so this wasn’t a problem.
Beds: hard and squeaky, but that didn’t bother me too much. My back needs a hard bed.
The floors are tile. We could smell bleach and everything appeared to be clean.
FYI: you can drive up to the closed garage door, there is an intercom system to request entry.
Someone else mentioned it is in a sketchy part of town. It looked about the same as other towns in Costa Rica. Lots of kids/families on the sidewalks/ outside of buildings when we drove through town around 3:30. I felt safe.
Drive to the airport took 10 minutes at 3:30 am. The street was very, very busy around 3:30pm the day before, so it would have probably taken 30 minutes at that time of day.

Karanina
This is a gem in the rough. The service was great and the grounds were very nice. The pool area was very quiet and relaxing. The staff went above and beyond. The con was the surrounding area was loud and you could hear the planes all night. This is a great spot to spend the night and use the shuttle service for an early morning flight. I would stay here again.
Johanne
The staff was very kind and helpful. Loved the free shuttle to the airport, the restaurant and the pool. The hotel is in a bit of a sketchy area, but they have a gate with ring cameras at the entrance. Very close to the airport so it’s perfect for an early flight! Very nice stay overall!

Initially it was loud as very close to the airport. But improved immensely once night-time came. Not anything agajnst the hotel, just a sidenote.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had an early morning checkout & they provided cereal fruit tea/coffee for us as we wouldn’t be there for breakfast. The property was clean but could do with some updating. Room was very basic. Pool & outside grounds were well looked after & very peaceful. Transport was arranged for our trip to to the airport on time. It was good for an overnight stay on our way to the airport.

I was very pleased during my stay. The staff was very nice and professional. The dinner was more than reasonably priced and tasted as good as any gourmet restaurant.

Just book it!
My 5yo daughter and I stayed at Brillasol on our way back home from a jungle camping gathering in Uvita. This property is amazing and we will be back. The staff was so friendly, helpful and accommodating. I thought we would have a shuttle service from the airport but it was only available to the airport. Its quite possible this was the case bc we had a same day booking. We enjoyed the pool and smoothies. We took a walk to get lunch offsite as there was a few restaurants close by. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were clean. It was such a cute little gem, i cant wait to come back.

Like a small garden haven in the middle of the city. We used this hotel as our first night in Costa Rica after a late flight in. We came late for check in and someone was waiting up for us. Comfortable beds. Lovely atmosphere. Good breakfast with delicious fresh fruit.
We will stay here again on our way out of Costa Rica.
