Barcelo was a wonderful place to stay. Beautiful hotel, clean, great food and close to "downtown". The two bell hops were awesome! They arranged shuttles from coast to coast for us, all day tours and went out of their way to help us as much as possible. Many of the staff were somewhat reserved, which is the only negative thing... More

The appearance and design did not inspire. However the rooms were perfectly satisfactory. The location is not the best in San Jose so we did not feel like going out to eat. The restaurant was very uninspiring for dinner and we left before breakfast was served. Staff were very helpful, particularly in the business center. Reasonable value for money. More
