Balmoral Hotel San José CR, Historic District

5/5 Excellent

"We liked the in-house restaurant which was very good! The staff in general was excellent. We liked that we got a breakfast bag when we left for the airport at 4 AM . The hotel also helped us find a good cab driver to the airport. The only negative thing was the area surrounding the hotel. It was not very safe, especially when it got dark "

5/5 Excellent

Worth the price and close to everything.

"The room was very large, quiet, king size bed, with little fridge, two comfortable chairs and small table. The bathroom had a large shower and a jetted tub. We were very pleased to be so close to museums and the central walkway. We enjoyed exploring the museums, local brewery and restaurants. We did take a CB kill tours, but didn’t realize the hotel offers this as a service. The restaurant on site was very nice and super friendly fly staff there too. "
