"Hotel posizionato nel centro della città di fianco all’unica cosa che vale la pena di vedere a San Jose: il teatro Nazionale. Colazione insufficiente per un hotel 5 stelle"

"I very much enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful at all times. The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood so, there was not a lot of street noise. The food and service at the restaurant were very good as well."

Wyndham San Jose Herradura Hotel & Convention Center

Wyndham San Jose Herradura Hotel & Convention Center

10/10 Excellent
"This was a great stop on our first and last night in Costa Rica. Very convenient location about 15 minutes away from the airport. The room was clean and well stocked and the pool was a great sanctuary for a weary traveler. The most standout thing about the stay was the gracious and thoughtful staff. Johan checked us in the second time and went above and beyond, even walking around the complex to find us at the pool(we were early for check in) to get us our room key before he left. Thank you for taking such good care of us. We'll be back."
