Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The service was absolutely wonderful, employees constantly ready to help. Although in my opinion for how much they charge a night I think the conditions of the hotel could be better. The room I stayed in has a broken toilet paper holder. The toilet water would leak whenever I flushed the toilet. Certain wings of the hotel looked abandoned or untaken care of. All in all the food and the customer service was lovely but the company needs to take some action in taking care of their places because it’s embarrassing to make that much money and not invest it in yourself.

A little piece of heaven.

This place is located within walking distance from the very center of San Jose City. The property is beautiful. The dining area is airy and overlooks a super nice garden, where the pool and jacuzzi, are also located. The rooms are big and clean. They also have a nice little ‘gym’. The breakfast is included with your stay, and for a vegan, there are plenty of options to choose from, from fresh fruit to their local ‘pinto’ meal! And the staff is always friendly and welcoming.

Beautiful hotel. Comfortable beds. Great bar and restaurant. Hand towel holder fell off the wall, though. A bit of a longer drive to the airport than expected. Other than that, no complaints.

The hotel room provided had a horrible moldy smell both in the room and in the bathroom. The toilet was not flushing properly and there was no liquid soap. The room telephone did not work which was worrisome in case of emergency. The minifridge was missing and the glass pane from the tv console was also missing. When I addressed this with the front desk, the staff member said it was 'okay, don't worry about it.' As for the property, we were told there were no ice machines by the front desk but discovered one on the second floor. Upon seeing other rooms, I noticed that they were much cleaner and had laminate/vinyl-looking flooring while my room had rather old carpet. I can only surmise that they reserved the old rooms for Expedia customers. The front desk staff were not at all friendly, except for the cleaning crew. They also seemed unconcerned with helping guests and addressing issues. The one positive would be breakfast - the areas were clean and the food was decent. However, there was one menu item that listed it was only cheese and instead had ham and cheese. This was a problem as my boyfriend and I do not eat pork. For a Radisson property, this was extremely disappointing for the price paid and not up to standards at all. I would give this hotel a 2 star.

I think the hotel is close to many places. It’s clean in general. The staff is friendly. The breakfast and the service is good. I dint like that rooms don’t have a mini fridge and not a piece of information about the hotel, the City and Costa Rica in general. Not a single flyer, nothing!

My stay at the Radisson was good. Close proximity to the airport and downtown San Jose. The property room is big and clean compare to be being 30 years old. Cleaning service came every day to clean and provided enough towels each day. The staff were amazing, every single one of them. I was not too impress with the food, but that was not just the food at the hotel but the food in general. I would definitely stay at this hotel again
