Our take

Hotel Colonial is a classic central San José address with old-school rooms and suites, an outdoor pool, a restaurant, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and parking. Its strength is location, four minutes on foot from the Museo del Jade, with an airport shuttle for easy arrivals. I recommend it to families and museum-goers; anyone expecting contemporary interiors should look elsewhere.

  • ✓Make sure to take advantage of the outdoor pool for a relaxing break during your stay.
  • ✓Consider dining at the on-site restaurant for convenience, especially after a day of activities.
  • ✓If travelling with family, the kid-friendly amenities and full-service laundry will be very useful.

Why we love it

  • Useful airport shuttle service
Why guests love it

Hotel Colonial gives families something rare in central San José: an outdoor pool behind its facade, four minutes on foot from the Museo del Jade. After a morning of museums, children can swim while parents rest, and the on-site restaurant saves a search for dinner. Kid-friendly rooms, air conditioning and a smoke-free policy are listed, and the airport shuttle simplifies arrival day. Rooms are old-school, so I would book it for the location and pool rather than the decor.
