    Tiny room, pretty hotel

    rating04 Jun 2026

    Room was advertised as king + an additional bed (we were 3 adults). Ended up being a single and a double in a very small room. Not a comfortable space for 3 adults. Lovely building though. Hotel Manager, Owner at Hotel Barcelo San Jose, responded to this review Dear guest,Thank you for taking the time to comment on your stay at our hotel.We appreciate your kind words about our historic building. We regret the room setup didn’t meet your expectations; our Superior rooms have king or two full beds, with extra bedding available on request. Our staff is always ready to help with room arrangements to suit your needs.We look forward to welcoming you back on a future occasion.Best regards,Management.Barcelo San José.

    My kids and I spent 3 nights here as a rest before meeting our tour group to go on an adventure. When I was researching the hotel it was difficult to find reviews as I think a lot are not accurate. We came with mixed emotions and I almost cancelled. I am so happy I didn’t. This place is so lovely. The hotel is a little old and dated but very clean. The pool was beautiful and the food was delicious. The upgrade to premium I highly recommend as there is a little lounge with snacks and drinks even some wine open until 10 pm. The buffet was included for breakfast and had lots of selection. We are leaving this morning and the kids said they are sad to go. There was also somewhere a mention in f security issues in the rooms but at night there is an extra bolt to lock the door so we felt super safe and secure at all times Hotel Manager, Owner at Hotel Barcelo San Jose, responded to this review Dear guest, We thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback.We appreciate your honest feedback about our property's condition and take pride in maintaining cleanliness and comfort while preserving its character. We're glad your family enjoyed the pool, dining, and Premium Level lounge. Your feeling of security is especially important to us.We hope to welcome you back in the future.
