Hotel Bougainvillea San José

Enjoyed the restaurant space, the large windows allow light to enter. the variety of the food was good. Liked the breakfast juice and fruit selections. Steak at dinner was excellent. Staff were all friendly, courteous and helpful. Enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. The decor in the hotel is bright and colourful. Loved the gardens.

This hotel was recommended to us by friends who spent a lot of time in Costa Rica as a great respite after a red-eye flight before heading out to the mountains. We loved it! While it is not luxurious, it is pretty and clean, the air smells great, and it has a good vibe. The botanic gardens are exquisite. What a surprising delight! And our room was completely quiet. The beds were super comfortable and we never heard a sound. The staff were lovely and the food was great. Highly recommend!

The room and the hotel are very nice, the gardens are gorgeous and an attraction in itself. The location is very convenient, close to shops, restaurants and San Jose (by car).

This hotel was simply immaculate. The staff was excellent. I last stayed here about 35 years ago. Was delighted to see the hotel still had its charm and remains extremely clean. The breakfast was very good and filling. Just a great place to stay.

We stayed twice in the hotel, the first and the last night of our trip. Only the first night we had a room with a view into the vast gardens, which is highly recommendable! We brushed our teeth with a view on dancing Monarch butterflies 😃. The gardens are awesome, don’t miss out on a stroll both at day- and nighttime! The room was spacious, light and clean, so was the bathroom. Shower was hot (not a given on our trip). The breakfast was very good, some dinner options not so much (the Sopa Azteca was a bit disappointing).
