Top Palmichal Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express San Jose Costa Rica Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"We usually stay at this Holiday Inn because of the value and the breakfast. This time, the breakfast was not very good. There weren't as many choices and the quality has gone down. The room was clean and the staff is always helpful."

Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and great proximity to airport"

Courtyard by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

10/10 Excellent

"Todo muy bien! Gracias por la gentileza y atenciones."

Barceló San José

8/10 Good

"El desayuno no es de buena calidad, pocas opciones y no muy buena calidad"

Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport

8/10 Good

"Great place to stay, in fact probably the nicest hotel airport I’ve stayed at anywhere. Very clean, friendly staff, and the breakfast was delicious with a lot of variety."

Homewood Suites By Hilton Cariari San Jose

10/10 Excellent

"Evrything was great clean neat up to date and the breakfast was very good, staff is also very helpfull and friendly"

Wyndham San Jose Herradura Hotel & Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Staff Clean Room, Parking"

AC Hotel San Jose Airport Belen

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic choice for your first night in Costa Rica, or the final night before a flight home. Two recommendations, book the breakfast, you won’t be disappointed, and book the shuttle from the airport to the hotel and avoid having to pay a ridiculously high price for a taxi. Third time staying at AC Belan, and I will stay again."

Hotel Presidente

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was great but the neighborhood was a bit gritty. Not great for an evening stroll."
