The hotel looks beautiful. But all stuff I wish they were more friendly and helpful.. including at the restaurant. I travel a lot and stayed in a lot of hotels so I can compare. Doesn’t help with luggage. Not explain correctly or show where the jacuzzi and gym is.

We have been staying at Hotel Grano de Oro for more than twenty years. We always stay there whenever we are in San Jose. The service has slipped a bit in the last few years, but it’s still a lovely hotel.

Our stay at the Grano De Oro was one of the most enjoyable stays we have had anywhere. The hotel is beautiful but unpretentious, the staff is amazingly helpful, the restaurant is superb and the room was clean, comfortable and attractive. The room had a little closed in small patio with its own small fountain, allowing in air along with the sound of the fountain. Really a wonderful experience!
