Warm welcome despite a VERY late arrival.
We arrived from the airport VERY late, and the hotel had multiple staff waiting for us to help us park and to check us in. I am extremely grateful for this attention. We were tired, in a new place, and it was comforting to be welcomed in at such a late hour.

A very cool hotel in a commercial area
Isla Verde is a boutique hotel with creative decor and a plant conservatory in the common areas, updated rooms, and a delicious breakfast buffet. I found the bed to be very comfortable, the bathroom was very nice and the room was really clean. There could have been more electrical outlets for charging the many devices we all seem to have. Knowing nothing about San Jose, I was a little concerned about the area but was reassured that there was a security guard posted at the front door. Also, in spite of being on a busy street, the room was very quiet. The front desk workers were great about helping us check out some plans we had made and suggesting driving routes. There were also a fair number of restaurants within walking distance of the hotel- we ate at Osteria Faina, which was wonderful.

Very nice San Jose hotel
Comfortable beds and nice bathroom. Great breakfasts. We also had dinner in their Chinese restaurant one night — beautiful presentation and delicious. A bit removed from the historic district but not a problem.

Isla Verde hotel was a reasonable price and good value for the cost. Inside the hotel was updated, and the lobby and restaurant was inviting. The front desk staff were helpful, provided recommendations, and even noticed when my child left their stuffed animal in the restaurant. We appreciated their thoughtfulness throughout our stay!

Lovely property and restaurant. View from the gym was spectacular. Easy to from here to book a tour and or go to the center of the city. The restaurant has some good food and a costa rican daily breakfast. Drinks are amazing.
Walkable distance to US embassy and Savana park. On the way check out the Bolivian empanadas shop nearby.
