This place is extremely clean. The staff is very very friendly and helpful. The free breakfast is amazing. And the restaurant had exceptionally delicious food for dinner. The front desk gentlemen are so observant where they seen us once or twice and knew we had our children with us. So every time we did something they would ask if it’s kids were joining us. It’s walking distance to the US Embassy. A short ride to Walmart and several other stores.I have nothing bad to say about this Hotel, I will stay there again.

This is very nice hotel, with all your basic amenities included. Safe parking lot, hot showers and filling breakfast. The stuff is very attentive - like holding your key ready as soon as you enter a lobby, immediately bringing you requested things, smiling and calling you by name. It’s located right in the middle of SJ, close to the center or shopping mall, national stadium and US embassy.

The hotel is located on a very busy and noisy road. We were in room 101, located on the first level and facing the road. San Jose is known for its crazy traffic and we could hear trucks, motorcycles roaring past all night. Unfortunately we did not gef any sleep that night. Because of its close proximity to the road it should be designated as an office or storage space, not a hotel room. The noise ruined our stay which is unfortunate because the rest of the hotel was fairly nice. As soon as we arrived an employee helped us park. The front desk employee was very nice and professional. We had dinner at their restaurant, chinese food, my wife is vegan and we were pleased that they had vegetarian and vegan options. The included breakfast was also very good. It was buffet style, but an employee served you the main courses. I find people's behavior at buffets a little disgusting at times, so it was alittlee more sanitary to be served by an emplyee. Others complained that the food was cold, but we thought it was good. Again, there were options for a vegan and beans, plantain, fruit etc..

Exceptional hotel.

Our stay was exceptional.We flew into San Juan airport late at night and needed a place to stay. We were gonna go with a typical US chain, but so glad we were able to stay in a beautiful local hotel. We had a late check-in, but there was a front desk person there all the time along with a security guard outside. We missed dinner at the restaurant which was supposed to be amazing, but we were directed to a little local place down the street where the food was great. The beds were super comfy, the place was extremely well-maintained, the local breakfast was fantastic and the staff was spectacular. We also understand that this place is run on solar, and it is obvious that they think about sustainability. There are no single used plastics anywhere.We slept a little late, but the front desk guy messaged us to make sure we didn’t miss breakfast. We would 110% stay here again, and will probably do so on our way back to the airport. Definitely stay here.

Hands down the best place we could have landed after stressful theft which required us to be at the U.S. Embassy at 7am. Jorge at the front desk was our savior, a calm presence who helped print all our paperwork and just be a kind heart in the face of difficult circumstances.
This is a budget hotel so certainly not luxe but everything was fine. Bed comfortable enough, good a/c, coffee in room and full breakfast included, free secure parking. Only negative was water never really gets hot but minor issue. Overall this over delivered on expectations given such a good price and Jorge’s great service.

The place is clean, well maintained and the personnel is very kind and helpful at the front desk. In the restaurant area English level is very limited but the service is still good. I have a few suggestions that may help the hotel, some I have already verbally made to Lucy, the manager: 1) the rooms need an ironing board, 2) Bathroom need skin lotion, 3) warn customers that rooms have no refrigerator but can be obtained if requested 4) place in the rooms a list of useful numbers and guided tours organizers contacts numbers, 5) how to call and numbers of emergency medical services, even room service number. 6) place a restaurant menu in the room with open-close schedule.
Given the quality- price ratio, this is a great place, I would without hesitation go back there again and again! I strongly recommend the place assuming my suggestions will be addressed by my next trip, soon.
NB: Some current construction work on the 4th floor, without being a nuisance can at times be disturbing but overall the place is quiet and Zen.

I found the bed to be very comfortable, the bathroom was very nice and the room was really clean. There could have been more electrical outlets for charging the many devices we all seem to have. Knowing nothing about San Jose, I was a little concerned about the area but was reassured that there was a security guard posted at the front door. Also, in spite of being on a busy street, the room was very quiet. The front desk workers were great about helping us check out some plans we had made and suggesting driving routes. There were also a fair number of restaurants within walking distance of the hotel- we ate at Osteria Faina, which was wonderful.

My experience at Isla Verde Hotel was absolutely fantastic! From the moment I arrived, the staff provided exceptional service, always friendly and attentive to every detail. Their warm hospitality truly made me feel welcome.

The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable—everything was spotless, from the rooms to the common areas. It’s clear that they take great pride in maintaining a pristine environment for their guests.

One of the highlights of my stay was the on-site restaurant. The food was delicious, with a great variety of fresh and flavorful dishes. Every meal was a delight, and the ambiance made dining even more enjoyable.

I highly recommend Isla Verde Hotel to anyone looking for a top-notch stay with excellent service, outstanding cleanliness, and a fantastic restaurant. I can’t wait to visit again!

Warm welcome despite a VERY late arrival.

We arrived from the airport VERY late, and the hotel had multiple staff waiting for us to help us park and to check us in. I am extremely grateful for this attention. We were tired, in a new place, and it was comforting to be welcomed in at such a late hour.

We stayed at this hotel due to its proximity to the hospital and affordability. It is a short Uber ride from CIMA and much more affordable than those within walking distance. We were pleasantly surprised. The staff were kind and helpful, room spacious and clean with a good breakfast. Highly recommend.

Fantastic Hotel Awesome Staff Great Location

I can not praise this hotel enough! The staff were amazing. so helpful and mostly spoke great English. For the price, the room was fantastic value. I had to extend my stay and was bumped up to an executive room, only one available at the time. they gave me a great discount on it. The inclusive breakfast was very good with a wide veriety of choices including eggs,meat, potatoes plantains, fruit selection, cerials and plenty of fresh bread, coffee, juice. Again all the service staff were very friendly. The breakfast area also served as a restaurant open to the public for lunch and dinner. There was alot of chinese type food as well as traditional type meals. I tried many of them while I was there and was pleased each time, both with the quality, price and amount of food. The interior of the hotel was very clean and very modern in a tasteful way. Location wise, it was about a 20 - 30 minute taxi ride from the main San Jose airport. Very good Uber services to all of the malls and parks etc.. I don't think I paid over $10 for any of those rides. If I ever get to go back to San Jose, this is where I will be staying! Thanks agaion to all the kind and helpful staff!

Isla Verde hotel was a reasonable price and good value for the cost. Inside the hotel was updated, and the lobby and restaurant was inviting. The front desk staff were helpful, provided recommendations, and even noticed when my child left their stuffed animal in the restaurant. We appreciated their thoughtfulness throughout our stay!

Very nice San Jose hotel

Comfortable beds and nice bathroom. Great breakfasts. We also had dinner in their Chinese restaurant one night — beautiful presentation and delicious. A bit removed from the historic district but not a problem.

The chekin process was great, the name of the front office agent escapes me but he said he was originally from Venezuela. If i had to pick some things id like to see
1) A refrigerator in the room would be nice
2) Hand towels to wash your face

Otherwise all went well

Lovely property and restaurant. View from the gym was spectacular. Easy to from here to book a tour and or go to the center of the city. The restaurant has some good food and a costa rican daily breakfast. Drinks are amazing.
Walkable distance to US embassy and Savana park. On the way check out the Bolivian empanadas shop nearby.
