    • During the Dec. the cost might be 55 USD for double room/ night.
    Under the rooms, in the salon there is casino for those guests.
    Actually it might have noise night & lots of people to visit there.
    Up to your decision.

    Good & delicious Breakfast.
    Private Bath.

    • We had booked the hotel for 3 nights via Orbitz. It stated each room was air conditioned. When we were taken to our room, it was not airconditioned. We called the desk and they said none of the rooms were airconditioned. Our first room was also one floor above the casino on the ground level, and looked out over the Plaza. It was too noisy to sleep. We were given a second room, on the back street. There was a guitar player playing there, collecting tips, until 2 AM. The next morning we cheked out and went to the Best Western hirise hotel nearby. It was the same price but air conditioned and not noisy. And they had a casino.

    We stayed here the night before we headed back to Canada. A very nice hotel. Spotless, clean rooms, nice views of ciy. Casino, coffee shop, restaurant on bottom floor. Approx. $80 CAN per night. Right downtown so great location. This photo shows the view from our room.

    The Gran Hotel is the oldest hotel in Costa Rica and is almost considered a national treasure. The hotel is centrally located on the Plaza de Cultura, next to the national Theater. It was completely renovated last year (paint, furniture, lobby). They are trying to restore its original grandeur. It was very charming and more importantly very clean. It had a good restaurant with free American breakfast included. They even had a young pianist who played during dinner. The staff was very friendly. Oh, did I mention that the price was right, $42 a night. My room was very small, the bed was very “firm.” and I was located overlooking the Cultural Plaza, which was entertaining but very noisy. You might prefer to ask for a more quiet side of the hotel. I would certainly stay there again.

    Good central location near tourist sights

    Good view of Plaza de Cultura from window

    Excellent computer center for guests (6 new computers)

    Very good hotel gym
