Hotel Bougainvillea San Jose

Breakfast was wonderful, but the best part is the huge garden around the property with lots of cool birds. Very friendly staff.

The hotel itself is beautifully appointed: lovely decor and furniture. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with huge balconies overlooking the sprawling, colorful gardens. The garden itself is by far the hotel's biggest highlight with its enormous diversity of plant species and birdlife. We were in Costa Rica on a birding trip and I managed to rack up 50 species of birds here in three days. The buffet breakfasts were fantastic - great variety.

I found the coffee somewhat weak and insipid. But this is literally my only gripe, so you know I'm really scraping the bottom of the barrel here. The hotel is otherwise fabulous.

Breakfast was nice! Not a huge buffet but the food was fresh and tasty. Nice coffee as any Costarican place really. Friendly staff even at late night.

Nothing really. I had a wonderful time.

The gardens at Hotel Bougainvillea were breathtaking. The place is wheelchair accessible. Breakfast was delicious, especially the typical Costa Rican options. The staff members were incredibly kind and helpful. We had a special request for an elderly family member, and the hotel provided a bath chair for us. I want to give a special thanks to Andres, Susan, Ana, Leonard, and Sebastian and all the staff for making us feel so welcome. I strongly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Santo Domingo de Heredia or nearby areas in San Jose. Reception can organize paid transport to the airport. Allow 45-60 minutes for the trip to SJO due to traffic.

I have no complaints; our stay was great!

It served the purpose

They didn’t have and didn’t give us what was reserved and paid in booking. They weren’t helpful and blaming booking for everything that was wrong

The hotel is set in a beautiful garden. The restaurant and lobby display interestin paintings and there is a collection of geodes too. The dining room was lively with linen tablecloths and a well trained staff.

All was great.

A lovely, well appointed hotel that's close enough to the airport for a stay before or after landing and the grounds are absolutely superb! Truly beautiful park like gardens with a plethora of birdlife.

Excellent breakfast buffet. Lovely garden/grounds in back. Comfortable rooms and beds. Helpful staff.

We forgot to tip our maid!

Gardens, family run

Bedrooms a little tired

Everything. The staff,hotel, the gardens and the food.

The main road was noisy at night.

The hotel is in a northern suburb of San Jose set in large, beautifully landscaped gardens rich in local bird life. Service was polite and professional. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet.

The restaurant food at dinner and breakfast did not seem up to the standard of the hotel itself. Breakfast choice was quite limited considering the large number of guests. Dinner was bland and the glass of wine ordered was stale though the waiter replaced it with a glass from a fresh bottle. A sandwich specifically ordered for a vegan lunch companion contained mayonnaise and had to be sent back.

The garden, the staffs, the room has the balcony.T

The breakfast not very interest.

Enjoyed the restaurant space, the large windows allow light to enter. the variety of the food was good. Liked the breakfast juice and fruit selections. Steak at dinner was excellent. Staff were all friendly, courteous and helpful. Enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. The decor in the hotel is bright and colourful. Loved the gardens.

Road-facing rooms can be a bit noisy due to traffic but not overly disturbing. Perhaps some double-glazing on the windows that side would help.

The breakfast was exceptional, the garden is amazing. This is a must stay if traveling to San Jose. Very friendly staff and a beautiful place.

kind helpful staff beautiful gardens enhance recovery from lpng flights and buggy expeditions.

Exceptional gardens, wonderful staff and great food.

the grounds and the incredible variety of accessible birds there

having to pay for a cappuccino with breakfast.

The breakfast was adequate but more than made up for by the astonishingly lovely gardens

I wish we could have reserved a king size bed.

Very nice location towards the edge of the city with amazing garden and beautiful facilites, very nice interior with art and rock displays

we could only stay one night

We love this hotel and have stayed here several times. Breakfast is excellent and is included. Love walking thru the extensive and beautiful park-like lawns

The "mountain view" room we were assigned on our second stay in two weeks was very poor with regard to view. It looked out across the roofs of the lobby and dining area. Terrible view, probably the worst from that side of the building. One week earlier, we were given a garden view room. We paid the same for both rooms!
