Hotel is OK, but the room is super dated, dirty, old mattress, no electrical outlet in the night table, not tv in the room. Living with very small TV and dinner chairs to watch TV. A full rip off of money.

My daughter and I absolutely loved KC Hotel San José! It is just like an oasis in the middle of the city. Nice atmosphere, with natural plants everywhere. People can enjoy a delicious food at the Baraka restaurant with a relaxing view to the swimming pool, which is also warm! The hotel has a Gym and offers spa services. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. Amazing, friendly and helpful staff! I would stay again in my next visit to Costa Rica and recommend it 100%!

Sadly this was a funky, dirty and loud place. I had planned to lay by the pool. It was one family in there and they were screaming loud. The TV is very old with nothing to watch in English. (I had hoped for charming). Not much for suggestions or ideas on things to do or where to eat. I was disappointed in the breakfast. I moved to the Hilton and was very happy.
