The hotel location is really optimal. You cannot be more downtown than that. The food and drinks are fabulous. Oscar and Roy both bartenders on two different evening were very caring and made great suggestion for drinks and food. The happy hours were appreciated with not only drinks but food that came along. It was way more than just peanuts very high end food to go with your drinks. The room was big and clean. We would go again.

Positives: Great location if you want to have easy access to several “main attractions”(walking distance to National Theater, Jade Museum, etc). You will be grateful for valet parking ($28). Hotel is nice. Very friendly staff!! Pretty rooms. Breakfast buffet is fresh, good variety. Negatives: The air freshener they use is overpowering. If you are sensitive to smells (like me), beware. I left w/ a migraine. Beds are FIRM (this could be a positive for some). I would not eat dinner in the hotel restaurant (Cultura 5). Food was good enough (not great), but prices are exorbitant!!! We spent $68 for 1 steak sandwich w/ fries, 1 bowl of soup, 1 cocktail & 2 waters.

Great hotel in a very convenient location in downtown San Jose. The staff are very polite and helpful. Rooms feel newly renovated and clean, beds are comfortable and showers powerful. Expensive but worth it. I’d recommend!

Located in the heart of San Jose about 20-60 minutes from the Juan Santamaria International Airport, the Gran Hotel Curio was a good choice for us! The National Theater is right next door as well as many museums such as the gold and emerald. The main market street Avenida Central is right near by and many restaurants and famous neighborhoods such as Barrio Escalante and Chinatown are within walking distance. The service was amazing from the time we arrived on the scene and they had staff to help organize excursions. There is a breakfast buffet option, which was tasty and had many options available for all types of eaters. I would stay there again if we were going back to San Jose! The beds were comfortable and the accommodations were well kept! They even had a bidet with a seat warmer ;-)

This hotel is conveniently located in the city center - the national theatre is right outside, many coffee shops around the corner, closest grocery store is 1 minute on foot, and the central market is 8 minutes away. The location is unbeatable. Room - we had a king room with a street view. The room is small but comfortable. The bathroom and shower are separated, and the vanity is spacious. Breakfast - breakfast is fantastic! We truly enjoyed the tamales and casado dishes (rice, beans, veggies, and some protein). We never ate out for breakfast but always at the hotel; it was that good! Highly recommend! View - the city view on the 5th is amazing!
