The bedrooms at El Rodeo are enormous and have all the facilities you would expect in a good three star hotel. It was a very quiet and comfortable place to stay There are plenty of facilities for leisure such as pool table, swimming pool and a large restaurant and the grounds are refreshingly rural looking for an urban hotel. The service in the restaurant was good (Breakfast and dinner) and the food tasty. There was ample parking and the staff were friendly and helpful.
We would have liked a better selection at breakfast. There was nowhere to get a snack or hot drink except while the restaurant was open. It is quite a long way to walk (you wouldn't want to drive, as there was a near permanent traffic jam outside) to any other place for food or drinks.

It’s like an oasis! In Belén, close to the airport. When you enter the gate, it’s peaceful, big property, nice gardens, tennis court and swimming pool and it feels super safe, plenty of parking space inside the property too. Our flight arrived late at night so it was wonderful that they have the restaurant open till late, which has great food. Also the staff of both the hotel and the restaurant abs very friendly. The rooms are very spacious, clean and super comfortable beds. We loved it!

This is a lovely property with friendly staff and a steak restaurant on site. It has good facilities like a swimming pool, tennis court and children's play area. The beds are comfy and the bedroom is clean and spacious. From my perspective this is the ideal place to stay if you need to put your head down for an early flight the next day whether it's from the domestic or international airport. We arrived from London the day we stayed and had a flight out the next day so it was ideally located near the airport but still in a pretty setting.

The El Rodeo is located about a 20 minute UBER ride away from the S.J.A/P. ($26.00 us) Uber ride. Also about a 25 min. ride into San Jose. The atmosphere/location is a nice mix of urban and rural with lots of trees, birds chirping and even a rooster nearby calling the day..And even Makela..the hotel cat was friendly... We had the Superb room and it was more than enough space for the 2 of us.. Beds were very comfortable. The room had a small microwave and a fridge to keep your food or drinks cold. It's not a minibar. The compound is completely enclosed and has attendants at the front gate all evening. It's not that it's in an unsafe area. We did walk outside at night and never felt threatened or endangered. It's just that almost every hotel and home in C.R. is enclosed or gated. Every member of the staff was very helpful, friendly and as accommodating as can be. Finally, in our 4 night stay that included breakfast..I must say we were more than pleasantly surprised. The Steakhouse on the property wasn't just good, it was Excellent...We ate dinner there 3 of 4 nights. If you don't want a 3 to 4 hr trek to stay at the oceanside beaches or near the volcano/ waterfalls near Arenal or Monteverdi, this is a very nice location. You can always take an excursion. But most of them to those places start pickups at 6 or 7 from San Jose.
Although the hotel and property were very clean, I think I might have rated El Rodeo even higher had it been updated some. We did not like the very high walled bathtub/shower. It had a step up block just to get into the tub to give you an idea. The bottom of the tub is dangerously slippery with no non slip grip or bar to hold onto when you're in it. Getting out was as dangerous as well. If you're elderly or impaired in some manner, IT WILL BE very challenging. The other negative is that there is really no shops or restaurants nearby in walking distance. Ferdy's has really good food. Very rustic indoor/ outdoor and is about a 3 block walk. But you'll be on torn up paths and sidewalks to get there and not a lot of streetlights...

The property was spacious and had many amenities; pool, hot tub, on site restaurant, event space, free parking, hi speed internet, and spa services. It was well decorated and maintained.
Everything was fine except we didn’t get to enjoy it long enough. Also, we arrived on Sunday afternoon and weren’t aware that the restaurant closed at 5 pm. We would have eaten there if it would have been open later.

We arrived late and the 24-hour security were fabulous getting us to our room. Room was a wonderful, spacious and clean in a boutique hotel style. The gardens were well taken care of around the property. The included breakfast was order from our table. (Not a buffet.). The service at breakfast was very professional. All hotel employees, even the grounds keepers were very welcoming. Great first night stay. I would stay here again.

Very big bed in the suite Facilities like swimming pool, pool table, tennis court Big bath tub in the suite and in general a very spacious room Safe parking very nearby on premises Good effort to have a green surrounding Close to the airport Very good steakhouse restaurant
Reception staff was quite stiff with very normal questions Quiet dead hotel Rooms were up for refurbishment; it seemed they were still the same as 20 years ago. There was a gym, but clearly there had been no reinvestments in the past 10 years. Also here, with some rework this can become a very nice place, while now it was very mediocre and old. Lights in the room were very bright white, try using some warmer colours.

We needed to stay a night in San Jose for our flight the next day and El Rodeo was a really good hotel for that. The room was clean and comfortable (though in need of some updates) and the front desk staff was really helpful. There was even a great billiards table downstairs that we had fun playing on. The on-site restaurant is surprisingly good (we had dinner there as well as the breakfast that was included with our reservation). The only big disappointment was the pool, which looked like it hadn’t been cleaned or swum in for at least a year. But other than that, a great stay!
Pool. Not cleaned and not really swimmable.

Super clean, nice hotel, good choice if you want to stay close to the airport. Staff was friendly and helpful.
We stayed on two different dates in two different rooms. The first one was fine but the second one seemed a bit less clean with an odd smell, maybe the furniture was older, overall it wasn't as comfortable as our first stay.

An authentic Old World hotel! Well taken care of and good amenities. Woke up to the delightful sound of one of the young housekeepers cheerfully singing a melody En Español! Charming.
Check in was a disaster. Late night after a very stressful taxi ride from the airport. Front Desk had closed for the night so we were left pretty much on our own.
