Cold Pool.
24 Jun 2026
We loved this hotel, and the breakfast buffet is wonderful, beautiful, tasty delicious every day. The staff was great also, helpful and friendly only ONLY THE POOL IS FOR POLAR BEARS. TOO COLD COLD COLD We could not even swim in the beautiful pool nor did anybody else when we were there. Such a shame to have a freezing cold beautiful pool like that. The location is great for San Jose the city as well as for the airport but shame that the pool is too COLD.

Basic hotel, poor breakfast
11 May 2026
Rooms basic, Breakfast poor, you can only have fried eggs if you stay for more than 1 night. Only has a 2 slice domestic toaster and bread is minuscule. We had to stay here for the first and last day of our holiday, wouldn't want to be here any longer.The best bit was that it is attached to the Holiday Inn and they have a great restaurant in a nice setting and good food Gestor de Experiencia, Guest Services / Front Office at Irazu Hotel & Studios, responded to this review Dear Colin R, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay.

Perfect airport hotel
10 Apr 2026
Before staying here i read a lot of reviews on tripadvisor and booking.com and feel some of them are quite unfair really. This is very much an airport hotel. Somewhere you would stay for one or two nights, post or pre airport visit. This hotel we really enjoyed, plenty of parking for a hire vehicles. Friendly and helpful staff and an easy check in procedure. The hotel is located not far from a main highway but you couldn't hear it at all. The complex is like a little oasis with a pool in the middle, very well maintained gardens. It is extremely peaceful. Definitely easy to fall asleep by the pool or read a book.The hotel is slightly dated with its decor but is very clean and comfortable. Our room was nice, 4th floor, clean, had everything we needed. Water pressure is exceptional so showers are amazing. Little toiletries in the room which is a nice touch.The gym next door is impressive. Shuts at 5pm on a weekend and 8pm in the week and opens early should you wish to get a workout in during your stay. Within the complex you have a number of different places you can find dinner at, the holiday inn hotel restaurant linked, a Denny's diner, another diner type restaurant and a subway. Morning breakfast had plenty of options, standard costa rican breakfast of eggs rice and beans, fresh fruit, bread, yogurt and cereals. Definitely recommend staying should you be looking for somewhere close to an airport.
