Farmstay in Cantón Alvarado

"Room is spacious and clean. Breakfast was amazing lots of variety. "

"Great hotel! Lots of food options, clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff and a good value. Feels more international and Costa Rican than other big brands. We enjoyed Barcelo very much. Nice pool with poolside restaurant and bar. Beautiful setting. My wife and I stayed on both the front end and back end of our trip to Costa Rica. We will stay again on our next trip to San Jose."

"Clean , great staff, Restaurant,. Breakfast included. etc."

"each room has a mini split air conditioner in the room. Our 20 + year old air conditioner did Not work We informed the front desk multiple times to no avail. We had to open our room windows to a common exterior hallway to help reduce the temperature People were walking down the exterior stairs and next to our room ALL night each night. No compensation was offered for the torturous conditions. "

"A quiet and stylish retreat from the surrounding bustle. The hotel was comfortable and offered good (though somewhat limited) services. It’s in the midst of a busy and somewhat chaotic section of San Jose, but it manages to offer relaxation and calm. The breakfast buffet was outstanding. The room TV did not offer any streaming options, only cable TV. The staff was very friendly and helpful. "

"todo ok"

"Great location in front of the park and easy walking to museums and shopping. Staff everywhere were wonderful and quick and responsive, except in the bar in the evening. The bar only had one server, who was very social, so we had to chase them for service and it was slow. Rooms are being renovated, but the most important areas were addressed - we had a lovely room overlooking the city with big windows. Comfy clean bed, hot water (which is a premium in Costa Rica as Tico's don't appreciate our northerners habit of taking hot showers). A relaxing, great stay overall."

"Was advertised with a balcony, but the room did not come with one. They moved us to a smaller room without even offering a partial refund. Staff was very unpleasant and rude, and the complementary breakfast consisted of rice and beans and fried plantains yuck the ice machine didn’t work on our floor. The safe did not work. The TV did not work until I fixed it. They were unable to send any staff up until the next morning. Horrible place stay away, not worth the money. The location was not great for that price at all."

"Super high ceilings. Amazing common lounge areas on each floor. Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice breakfast. The kitchenette in the suite is lacking amenities (just a microwave, stovetop, and mini fridge). No dishware, glasses, or utensils. Tight and chaotic parking lot. Very enjoyable stay! Highly recommend if you're in this part of town. "
