Property is ok and breakfast is very good. It’s a plus to have a free ride to the airport. I didn’t have upgrade room or welcome drink like other Barcelo hotels.

This is my four time in a Barcelo hotel always happy with my decision but at this time Barcelo San Jose didn’t fill my expectations. Even though, the hotel is nice and the breakfast was very good the transportation for airport is free that is very convenient. I didn’t receive any special treatment as VIP and my room had a leak when we used the shower.

Overall the stay was fine. Except the day before check out my key card kept getting turned off and couldn’t access the premium food area on 606 when coming down for the second time to get my card turned on the male front desk man around 7pm lecture me about why my card would be off … and cutting me off when trying to tell him that it was my second time getting my card cut back on and it was never around my phone to be the reason it wasn’t working …. The food also seemed to be reused the next day for breakfast but over all the stay was fine /

The hotel was really good. Really easy to park, nice restaurant with good staff. Room was very spacious and clean. Location wasn’t too far from the city center. Gym was ok. I would highly recommend staying there.
