San Rafael Hotel Guide - Family Friendly Hotels in San Rafael, San José

"Good location in relation to airport & shuttle included. Restaurant food was good."

"Our arrival was very welcoming and check in was quick and smooth. The pool area was nice and inviting. Our room was very tired, no hot water and I didn’t want to sit on the couch. It looked very dindgy. The bed was ok but No Hot Water at all. Bathroom Very old. This property needs a major renovation. Breakfast servers were great. Food was ok. Dinner was very good. We had the Italian restaurant. More great service. 👍. This trip served our purpose as we had to fly back home and was a quick drive to the airport. Thanks again. K & R"

"The property is a bit dated but clean and maintained. The poolside area was nice and clean. The complementary breakfast buffet was great. There was a good variety of food options; fresh and tasty! The one thing that I would recommend is 24hr coffee service in the lobby area. We had a 5:50am shuttle pickup and wasn’t able to get coffee. I even popped into the buffet area to request a cup of coffee and was told that I needed to wait until 6:00am even though there were several employees there preparing for opening. "

"Staff are helpful, convenient to car rental places."

"The hotel is the best in everything super breakfast and staff was so nice and polite. Room was very clean and big super clean."

"Although I only stayed for one night for a business trip, I would definitely return. The room was very spacious; with a modern shower and nice view. The location of the hotel is close to a shopping mall, so you always have that option available to you. Finally, the view from the breakfast area was truly inspiring. I would return, no doubt!"

"The breakfast buffet was outstanding! And the staff was very helpful"

"Lovely resort!!!!"

"Overall, our stay at Barceló San José was okay. The hotel, rooms, and lobby were clean, and the staff was nice. However, the pool area could use better maintenance since there were a lot of leaves and debris, especially in the kiddie pool. The hotel also feels a bit outdated. Breakfast was just okay — it would be nice to have more variety and international food options for guests from different countries."
