Great place to spend a night before our flight home. The host met us at the door when we arrived and was up at 4:30am to see us off. My wife and I walked to several nice restaurants just 8 minutes away. Very close to the airport, very clean and great value! Had A/C and a refrigerator to keep some food cold. Safe, gated parking but definitely not a lot of room. We had a mid sized SUV which fit fine, but anything bigger would be a tight fit. Would definitely stay here again.

Very decent property. My wife and I stayed here for 1 night to catch a very early flight at SJO. The property provides a safe gated overnight parking space. The property owner is truly a nice person. She communicated with me before our stay. When we were at the airport, I thought I left my phone at the property. The owner tried realty hard to look for it at 4 AM!

This hotel is fine to stay for a night on flights in and out of SJO. We arrived just after sunset and fortunately the management was still able to receive us and accommodate our parking requirements. A lovely Breakfast was provided the following AM, our 1st experience with CR Rice & Beans. We LOVED it and ordered it every place we went in CR. The hotel is gated. We didn’t feel safe in the city after dark.

Biggest complaint would be the traffic noise. The room was above the street and the windows and balcony door just didn't block much sound at all. Oddly, the beds were also quite noisy when getting in/out or rolling over. Other main complaint would be limited hot water - don't expect more than a quick shower if you want it warm. On the positive side, good location in what seemed a nice neighborhood with plenty of good food options nearby and walkable. Comfortable bedding and decent towels, with handy soap dispensers. Not a fancy hotel by any means, but not a bad bargain.

We stayed here (as many people do) before an early morning flight out of San Jose. Check in was quick and friendly. They arranged our taxi pick up at a great rate to the airport for the morning which was much appreciated. The apartment was large with a nice kitchen, outdoor seating and a large bedroom and bathroom. We had a decent dinner nearby and we slept very well on the comfortable bed. Overall, a very good experience.

The lock door where my bedroom was suppose to be wasn’t working property and they changed me to another room. The only thing was that air conditioner wasn’t very cold but it didn’t bother me ! Overall was a great one night stay They coordinate a taxi to take me to the airport as well

The Bamboo was a great apartment hotel for a one night stay in San José. We had airline problems/last minute cancellation with American Airlines and didn't get in until late. The hotel made sure someone was there late and when we needed to go out to meet up with local friends they provided us with the garage gate opener. The breakfast was a great local home made dish.

This was a perfect stay for purposes of returning to the airport the next day. The area is very run down and felt unsafe, but inside the gates of the hotel were clean and safe. Plan on bringing noise canceling headphones to be sure you can sleep. There was lots of traffic and noise outside until 10:00 PM or so. This would not have been a problem if not having to get up at 1:30 AM for a very early flight. The staff could not have been nicer or more accommodating. If I were basing my review on the staff alone, it would be 10/10. Great people!

Our room was super clean , had everything we needed like towels, blankets and pillows. The staff were very kind and welcoming. They also helped us with ordering our taxi. The breakfast was delicious as well! The property is close to airport, also walking distance to local super markets, pharmacies and food. I definitely recommend staying here.

The Bamboo was a great apartment hotel for a one night stay in San José. We had airline problems/last minute cancellation with American Airlines and didn't get in until late. The hotel made sure someone was there late and when we needed to go out to meet up with local friends they provided us with the garage gate opener. The breakfast was a great local home made dish.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We took advantage of the gym and breakfast in the morning. Our only issue was the street noise from traffic. Gel earplugs did the trick.

Great hotel for a night before flight. Staff was very nice and breakfast very good. Parking is behind gate so safe too. And the room was big with balcony. The area around is a bit loud at night with cars but everything else was great. Highly recommend

Absolutely terrible. We booked this hotel through Expedia because we thought we were getting an apartment. We got a tiny efficiency room that had a super small kitchen that you have to walk through to get to the bathroom and doesn’t look at all. Also, we had paid for breakfast for two and even though we let them know we had an early flight and asked if they could just prepare us an easy breakfast to go like a boiled egg and a banana. They were absolutely unwilling to discuss it or make any accommodations for our 6 AM departure. 6 AM is not that early for international flights and I can’t believe they didn’t make any effort to try to accommodate us for breakfast that we had paid for. I’m so disappointed and when I commented to her that the Room doesn’t look at all like what Expedia has she said it wasn’t her fault (the photos I enclose are screenshots of what Expedia showed me the room I had booked would look like. The video show shows the actual room). I wonder who’s fault it is then who provides Expedia with those photos? I’m sure they don’t just randomly pull them from nowhere. They also make it look like in the photos. There is a garden or places to sit outside. It’s not true. It’s basically just a glorified large house in the city with a parking area and to the side of the parking area. There is a swing chair right next to where the car is parked. No taste at all and for $90 a night you would do much better to stay at the Hampton Inn, closer to the airport and less drama.

The place is good for a one night stay. But it is located in a busy street and the noise is constant with all the motorcycles going by all day and night
