"The front desk did not have our reservation and we waited outside a locked gate in a rainstorm for about 10 min. The reception was not warm. We felt like an inconvenience. Even though they have a restaurant it was closed until breakfast. They offered to drive us to town (far away) for dinner. They did not have enough seats in the vehicle for our group so we stayed in and skipped dinner. I think for young locals it’s a great place for family with thermal pools, lake, river and nature. For older...

Carmen

"My preferred place to stay in San Jose (have probably stayed here at least 20 times, and I have stayed at many places in town so I have a fair idea of what's "normal" here even for the high-end hotels). Large and clean rooms, great location and staff. Only downside is there is no restaurant/bar in the hotel, rather in the separate casino which is a bit sleazy for my tastes. But there are decent restaurants within a short walk."

Top San Cristóbal Hotel Reviews

Radisson San Jose-Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"My boyfriend sprained his ankle a few hours before arrival. The staff went out of their way to be helpful. Everyone was friendly and accommodating, particularly the driver who took us to the airport very early this morning. The room was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. We ordered food from the restaurant- plantain coated, crispy fish and the steak risotto. Both were excellent. We did have trouble dialing the restaurant from the room phone - it wouldn’t connect. But does not detract from the excellent customer service and the comfort of the room. We would stay here again."
