Hands down the best place we could have landed after stressful theft which required us to be at the U.S. Embassy at 7am. Jorge at the front desk was our savior, a calm presence who helped print all our paperwork and just be a kind heart in the face of difficult circumstances.
This is a budget hotel so certainly not luxe but everything was fine. Bed comfortable enough, good a/c, coffee in room and full breakfast included, free secure parking. Only negative was water never really gets hot but minor issue. Overall this over delivered on expectations given such a good price and Jorge’s great service.
Spacious clean rooms and delicious breakfast. The staff was very friendly and helpful especially Jorge at the front desk who went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay by providing us with recommendations on places to visit, helping us book tours and providing us with a map for guidance on places we can visit in the city center. Had a great time staying here!
The place is clean, well maintained and the personnel is very kind and helpful at the front desk. In the restaurant area English level is very limited but the service is still good. I have a few suggestions that may help the hotel, some I have already verbally made to Lucy, the manager: 1) the rooms need an ironing board, 2) Bathroom need skin lotion, 3) warn customers that rooms have no refrigerator but can be obtained if requested 4) place in the rooms a list of useful numbers and guided tours organizers contacts numbers, 5) how to call and numbers of emergency medical services, even room service number. 6) place a restaurant menu in the room with open-close schedule.
Given the quality- price ratio, this is a great place, I would without hesitation go back there again and again! I strongly recommend the place assuming my suggestions will be addressed by my next trip, soon.
NB: Some current construction work on the 4th floor, without being a nuisance can at times be disturbing but overall the place is quiet and Zen.
The front desk staff was amazing!! I was injured in an accident with multiple broken bones and unable to leave the room. The staff went out of their way to accommodate with calling every morning to ask if i wanted breakfast brought up to me, and making sure i was comfortable. The hotel is beautiful and the restaurant is delicious!! I would stay here again!!
The room and lobby were impeccable and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Great customer service. The restaurant (Chinese food) was delicious. I think it was the best fried rice I have ever had. My wife and I were very happy staying there.

Staff can’t be faulted but room has no window- no forget- no coffee making facility- bed linen was sprayed with Fabreze( actually saw it on the ladies cleaning cart) and I got a full blown sinus reaction to it
Great, well appointed hotel with clean rooms and very friendly, helpful staff. Jorge at the front desk was extremely courteous and helpful. With us not knowing the area Jorge went out of his way to provide us with a map and recommendations of areas to go in the downtown area.
Isla Verde is a boutique hotel with creative decor and a plant conservatory in the common areas, updated rooms, and a delicious breakfast buffet. I found the bed to be very comfortable, the bathroom was very nice and the room was really clean. There could have been more electrical outlets for charging the many devices we all seem to have. Knowing nothing about San Jose, I was a little concerned about the area but was reassured that there was a security guard posted at the front door. Also, in spite of being on a busy street, the room was very quiet. The front desk workers were great about helping us check out some plans we had made and suggesting driving routes. There were also a fair number of restaurants within walking distance of the hotel- we ate at Osteria Faina, which was wonderful.
My experience at Isla Verde Hotel was absolutely fantastic! From the moment I arrived, the staff provided exceptional service, always friendly and attentive to every detail. Their warm hospitality truly made me feel welcome.
The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable—everything was spotless, from the rooms to the common areas. It’s clear that they take great pride in maintaining a pristine environment for their guests.
One of the highlights of my stay was the on-site restaurant. The food was delicious, with a great variety of fresh and flavorful dishes. Every meal was a delight, and the ambiance made dining even more enjoyable.
I highly recommend Isla Verde Hotel to anyone looking for a top-notch stay with excellent service, outstanding cleanliness, and a fantastic restaurant. I can’t wait to visit again!
We arrived from the airport VERY late, and the hotel had multiple staff waiting for us to help us park and to check us in. I am extremely grateful for this attention. We were tired, in a new place, and it was comforting to be welcomed in at such a late hour.
We stayed at this hotel due to its proximity to the hospital and affordability. It is a short Uber ride from CIMA and much more affordable than those within walking distance. We were pleasantly surprised. The staff were kind and helpful, room spacious and clean with a good breakfast. Highly recommend.
Enjoyed my 1 night stay here. It was a quiet and the check in process with Dora was swift. I would definitely stay here again. The breakfast was good too. Security outside was an added touch.
We arrived late after long day of travel. Hotel was quiet and rooms were comfortable. Included breakfast was good and hot the next morning. Would stay here again.
