What guests think

Irazú Hotel & Studios draws praise for friendly staff, a large pool area, convenient location near the airport and San José, and gym access, while recurring critiques mention dated rooms, confusing check-in, and inconsistent breakfast and maintenance.

Several guests noted issues like noisy air conditioning, intermittent hot water, and occasional construction or hallway noise. The shared complex with a neighboring Holiday Inn adds on-site restaurants (including a Denny’s), a casino, and secure parking. Expect a practical, mid-range stay with strong service and facilities but uneven upkeep.

La experiencia fue muy buena. El hotel es antiguo, pero tiene todo lo necesario. Habitaciones limpias, almohadas cómodas. El aire acondicionado es antiguo, pero funciona perfecto. El balcón con vista a la piscina fue un gran plus. La comida del desayuno es básica, pero rica. La atención del personal del restaurante debe mejorar. No eran serviciales ni atentos. Pero, pienso que es falta de capacitación. No fueron groseros. El Jacuzzi al aire libre es la joya de este hotel. No dejen pasar la oportunidad de disfrutarlo. La pasamos muy bien :)

We had lots of ants in our studio hotel room and it just wasn’t very clean. Ants were in all over the bathroom, kitchen, coming out of outlets, on the table and sometimes on the bed. On top of that our curtains weren’t the same size and bright lights kept on coming through which didn’t make for a very dark sleeping room when we closed the curtains. Kitchen utensils in the studio were clearly dirty before we used them. Our hotel key kept on locking us out. Most of our transportation kept going through the holiday Inn so never directly to Irazú.. even though it was just next door and tell us pick up would be at Irazu.. it would change to Holiday Inn

Nice simple hotel with friendly staff. Rooms are a bit dated and for some reason neither balcony lock nor door safety latch were working. There was some construction going on. The pool is nice but was too cold to swim in. The most confusing thing was that this horel apoears to share some territory and amenities with holiday in next door, it was very confusing which entrance to use and the same confusion was among the tour drivers and taxi drivers some of whom told me that the property used to be under different name till recently.

Guests should be warned to not request the rooms with the city view. I had to switch rooms 3 times during my stay.

The cleaning staff entered my room without permission, even though I told the staff supervisor that I would be departing and checking out after breakfast. Huge violation of privacy to find my room door full ajar and my wide open suitcases all over the floor for passerby's to see. Very embarrassing. This is not the first time this has happened. I will NOT stay here again. Try Holiday Inn on the same site.

El único tema sería que la habitación tenía una puerta para unirse con la habitación de la par y se puede escuchar ruido durante las noches pero se entiende cuando lo que se busca es quedarse en familia y se necesita de esa manera, no sé si hay habitaciones sin estas puertas. El desayuno tipo buffet muy bueno. En general muy recomendado todo

This was an easy stay and close to medical amenities (the purpose of staying). One word of caution, the location on Google Maps and Waze is wrong. Its behind the condo complex it takes you to. Its also pretty convoluted getting there when there is traffic and construction. Someone from the organization should update the location. Thanks!
