Beautiful property, extremely well maintained with very nice staff. Restaurant was very good though quite pricey. Only con was its location, quite a long walk to downtown area and very close to a busy unattractive stretch of highway.

We stayed at the Hotel Grano de Oro to celebrate my 60th birthday whilst in Costa Rica. Mr Marco Montoya, ensured that it was an occasion I will treasure forever. Nothing was too much trouble and the whole experience from the room and everything provided within it, to the fantastic birthday dinner proved this is an exemplary hotel with exemplary staff. We will definitely be back, as such an incredible hotel is not easy to find.

We have stayed at Grano do Oro over 15 times since 2006. Every stay has been outstanding. The hotel is a romantic's dream. The restaurant is beyond outstanding. Perhaps this is the last place in Central America to represent the old work era. If you do not book a few nights at Grano de Oro, you are missing out on a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

This is a unique and beautiful boutique hotel in the Paseo Colon neighborhood of San Jose. We stayed in the charming garden suite, and appreciated the amenities, including coffee, tea and a free minibar. All of the staff were welcoming, helpful, and very professional. The restaurant was excellent, in both food and service. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it.

The property is beautiful. The staff in the reception were very kind on arrival. They helped us to arrange transport from the airport in advance, which was reliable and professional. The driver was on time and was so helpful. However, in preparation for our trip we tried to contact the hotel multiple times to explore possibilities to help us to arrange an excursion to the volcanoes. All of our emails were ignored. We also tried to ask for help and recommendations while there (for local knowledge) and the staff would just tell us to google options. Not very helpful. The bar at the hotel is really beautiful. However, the staff at the bar at night are EXTREMELY rude. They act as if you are making them waste their time even though the price of the drinks is not cheap. Funnily enough the waiters working the breakfast shift were incredible. Make your plans for excursions independently, do not count on the hotel. And either ignore the rude and snobbish waiters or get yourself to one of the many great bars around (Azotea 7 , Apocadero, etc) for better service. But the property is nice and the breakfast was incredible.
