Beautiful little property tucked away in San Jose. Close to airport. We had a very short stay here as we had some changes in travel plans. They were so accommodating to us since it was a very last minute booking and we arrived at 3 in the morning. Our room was very comfortable and clean. The on site pool was lovely and refreshing. Breakfast was really delicious. There were a lot of beautiful birds onsite and the staff were kind to point out a little owl too! Everyone was so kind and helpful here. It was a nice place to start our journey from and wished we could have stayed longer!

Nothing I did not like

Nice hotel, perfectly acceptable as the first hotel when you arrive in Costa Rica, or as the last hotel before you depart, since the airport is close by. The hotel has an airport shuttle, but we didn't use it since we had to drop off our rental car. We left at 6AM so did not have any breakfast.

The area where the hotel is situated is not very appealing. The hotel grounds were surrounded by a high fence, and the gate was closed by default. We ended up staying on the hotel grounds and having dinner at the hotel (which was fine). Hotel is under the flight path for SJO airport so there is some noise from airplanes.

The free, quick, and nice airport shuttle and the pool were really nice and part of the reason why I booked. The included breakfast was also very nice and you could eat as much as you wanted. Emanuel was super professional and friendly and showed us a species of owl we had never seen before. We love that he is committed to conserving and creating habitat for owls and want to support this cause. He also supports educational programs for students. There were lots of efforts made to be environmentally sustainable and wildlife friendly. There was a pollinator water garden and a bird blind. The staff was amazing. I told a young waiter that there was no coffee maker in our room and by the time we returned from our meal a new one had been delivered. We love that this is a locally owned family run business and that tours are offered. It's a tiny oasis in the city.

The food and drinks at the restaurant were more expensive than we expected. The Pina coladas and cappuccinos could have been stronger. Check out at 10 seems early. But I only write this because booking.com asks. There is really nothing worthy of complaining about at this beautiful place run with love.

Hotel Robledal provided the perfect ending to our Costa Rica trip, as we spent our final night here before flying back home the next day. The hotel's location is very convenient, just 15 minutes from the airport, and they offer a free shuttle service upon request (before noon), which made our departure hassle-free. Everything you need to settle down and enjoy your final (our first) moments in Costa Rica is available at Hotel Robledal. The hotel offers a range of amenities, and we found it to be well-equipped for a comfortable stay. The restaurant at the hotel exceeded our expectations, offering delicious dinner and breakfast options with plenty of variety to choose from. We appreciated the quality of the food and the attentive service provided by the staff. Our room was beautiful and spacious, with a great bed and effective air conditioning, ensuring a restful night's sleep before our journey home. While our stay was brief, we couldn't find any issues or negatives with Hotel Robledal. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient and comfortable accommodation near the airport.

Great location in regards to the airport. Took 10-15min to get to the rental car return. Petrol stations are close by too. The hotel reminded me of a big conference hotel. Rooms were functional but very spacious. The staff was really nice. The restaurant is outside and the food reasonably priced and fine. BF is quite simple. We saw owls in the garden as the owners do a lot for bird conservation.

The garden was less green (trees) than it looked like from the pictures. The pool also had leaves in it by the afternoon when we arrived. No big deal but I didn't go in.

The room rent included breakfast which was served in the restaurant near the main entrance. The breakfast was good; the coffee was good. The best part was the birds in the garden. You could hear them starting sunrise. My wife took a lot of pictures. There was a group of photographers who also took a lot of pictures.

We arrived at the hotel at about 9:30 pm. The street was dark and we missed the hotel. We had to turn around and come back. The person who greeted us at the door was very friendly and pleasant. He gave us a good overview of the layout of the hotel. He guided us to our room.

I can’t say enough good things about my stay here! The hotel staff are absolutely incredible, they are so kind and accommodating! As a solo female traveller I can’t say thank you to them enough for making me feel safe and comfortable! The proximity to the airport is excellent and the shuttle service is very helpful. The restaurant food is absolutely fantastic with great prices! The property is very well kept and has lots of beautiful green space, the pool area is also very nice! The room had a great air conditioner and made my stay extra comfortable!

Great communication before our stay. The airport pickup and drop-off were great services and meant we didn't have to sort out taxis when we were very tired after 15 hours travel. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. Breakfast offered a good choice, our only gripe would be that we had to leave before 7am so had paid for it but couldn't have it on departure day. The room was comfortable and had all the facilities we needed.

An additional bedside light would be useful. Be aware that the trade off of being near the airport is aircraft noise, it appears SJO doesn't have a time with no flights arriving at night. However, that's not the hotel's fault and we much preferred our location to the city centre and it worked well for us.

This is so close to the airport, but they have managed to create an oasis in the urban area where it is located. Breakfast was included and it was very good with fresh fruit and a choice of eggs with rice and beans or pancakes with an egg. They offer a free airport shuttle that we used both times we stayed here which was very convenient. We also had dinner both times we stayed which was delicious! We especially loved the property which has many trees and flowers drawing a variety of birds including a Squirrel Cuckoo, Great Kiskadees, Spot-breasted Oriole, Blue-gray tanagers, White-winged and Inca Doves. They also have nesting boxes for Pygmy Owls but we didn't get to see them. It was enjoyable to walk around and birdwatch. Emanuel is knowledgeable about birds and he gives birding tours which we didn't have time to do, but we wished we could have fit that in. We would definitely come back!

The only thing which they can't help since they are so close to the airport is the occasional loud airplane.

Beautiful property serene with birds and native plants. Property has some unique bird friendly features (nest boxes, feeding platform, a pond and lots of flowering trees. It has a cute little swimming pool for kids of all ages. Breakfast is included. Very nice breakfast. The rooms are super clean and new. The hotel is just 10 mins from the airport but in the better side of Alejuela and if you need to do souvenir shopping or gas station before rental return, it is considerably closer to all of that. The best part of the hotel is conservation. The property owner loves birds and works hard with nearby property owners, hotels and landscapers to improve the overall habitat of the surrounding neighborhood. It’s wonderful. He also offers birding tour for Central Valley.

I wish it has more marketing and support his efforts of conservation. The property is hard to find in social media
