We stayed at Hotel Robledal one night before returning home recently. Everyone is very friendly and the food was good. The airport shuttle was a great convenience and one of the reasons we chose this place. The room was ok, but the beds much too hard for our comfort. There was no hot water at the sink in the bathroom,... More

Dear Silverfilings, We are sorry that your experience in our hotel was not satisfactory. Regarding to this room, as all others, it has black-out curtains so our guests can have a good sleep in a dark quiet room during the day, but it can be also very bright when curtains are open, All our rooms have a front large window....

We stayed here coming in and going out of San Jose airport. The hotel is small and operated by a family. Breakfast is included and they have a great menu and food for dinner. We were picked up by personal shuttle and returned to the airport, which is about 10 minutes away. We had a basic room, 2 beds. The... More

This friendly, family run hotel is a great alternative to the massive American style hotels. The convenience of the shuttle service and the great breakfasts make Hotel Robledal a perfect place to start and end your Costa Rica trip if flying in and out of SJO. The three brothers who run the hotel are friendly and helpful and go out... More

Our family of four stayed here on both ends of our recent Costa Rica vacation. We found the owners to be extremely friendly, professional and helpful. We had the pleasure of enjoying several breakfasts, a lunch and a dinner and they were all wonderful. The grounds and pool were very nice and well kept and the rooms had everything we... More

Hotel Robledal is a pleasant family run hotel in a relatively quiet part of town about 10 – 15 minutes from the airport. We were met at the airport by Emanuel who drove us to the hotel, checked us in and showed us to our roomand pointed out some of the birds on site. All of the staff we encountered... More

We spent 2 nights in this nice, friendly little hotel when we arrived in Costa Rica. Unfortunately we arrived just too late to pick up the shuttle from the airport, but it was a relatively short taxi ride and we had a warm welcome on arrival. The room was comfortable, although the fan in the bathroom was extremely noisy. Manuel... More

Non-chain, family-owned Costa Rican (read: non-US-style) hotel with lovely lush grounds, calming feel, incredibly helpful and friendly staff that at the same time are not at all pushy. We got in late and hungry (restaurant long closed) and they ordered pizzas for us. I left my husband's meds on the plane, and one of the brothers took me to the... More
