I haven’t had Chinese food in over 2 years. I wanted one of every section but settled on
Egg rolls
Wonton soup
Dumplings
Excellent
Staff was inquisitive to my needs and the property was really cool
Steps away from US Embassy
Isla Verde is a boutique hotel with creative decor and a plant conservatory in the common areas, updated rooms, and a delicious breakfast buffet. I found the bed to be very comfortable, the bathroom was very nice and the room was really clean. There could have been more electrical outlets for charging the many devices we all seem to have. Knowing nothing about San Jose, I was a little concerned about the area but was reassured that there was a security guard posted at the front door. Also, in spite of being on a busy street, the room was very quiet. The front desk workers were great about helping us check out some plans we had made and suggesting driving routes. There were also a fair number of restaurants within walking distance of the hotel- we ate at Osteria Faina, which was wonderful.
My experience at Isla Verde Hotel was absolutely fantastic! From the moment I arrived, the staff provided exceptional service, always friendly and attentive to every detail. Their warm hospitality truly made me feel welcome.
The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable—everything was spotless, from the rooms to the common areas. It’s clear that they take great pride in maintaining a pristine environment for their guests.
One of the highlights of my stay was the on-site restaurant. The food was delicious, with a great variety of fresh and flavorful dishes. Every meal was a delight, and the ambiance made dining even more enjoyable.
I highly recommend Isla Verde Hotel to anyone looking for a top-notch stay with excellent service, outstanding cleanliness, and a fantastic restaurant. I can’t wait to visit again!
We arrived from the airport VERY late, and the hotel had multiple staff waiting for us to help us park and to check us in. I am extremely grateful for this attention. We were tired, in a new place, and it was comforting to be welcomed in at such a late hour.
We stayed at this hotel due to its proximity to the hospital and affordability. It is a short Uber ride from CIMA and much more affordable than those within walking distance. We were pleasantly surprised. The staff were kind and helpful, room spacious and clean with a good breakfast. Highly recommend.
Enjoyed my 1 night stay here. It was a quiet and the check in process with Dora was swift. I would definitely stay here again. The breakfast was good too. Security outside was an added touch.
We arrived late after long day of travel. Hotel was quiet and rooms were comfortable. Included breakfast was good and hot the next morning. Would stay here again.
I can not praise this hotel enough! The staff were amazing. so helpful and mostly spoke great English. For the price, the room was fantastic value. I had to extend my stay and was bumped up to an executive room, only one available at the time. they gave me a great discount on it. The inclusive breakfast was very good with a wide veriety of choices including eggs,meat, potatoes plantains, fruit selection, cerials and plenty of fresh bread, coffee, juice. Again all the service staff were very friendly. The breakfast area also served as a restaurant open to the public for lunch and dinner. There was alot of chinese type food as well as traditional type meals. I tried many of them while I was there and was pleased each time, both with the quality, price and amount of food. The interior of the hotel was very clean and very modern in a tasteful way. Location wise, it was about a 20 - 30 minute taxi ride from the main San Jose airport. Very good Uber services to all of the malls and parks etc.. I don't think I paid over $10 for any of those rides. If I ever get to go back to San Jose, this is where I will be staying! Thanks agaion to all the kind and helpful staff!
Isla Verde hotel was a reasonable price and good value for the cost. Inside the hotel was updated, and the lobby and restaurant was inviting. The front desk staff were helpful, provided recommendations, and even noticed when my child left their stuffed animal in the restaurant. We appreciated their thoughtfulness throughout our stay!
Great place for a one night stopover after landing at San Jose airport. Friendly check in, space for car parking, large bedrooms and delicious breakfast! Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again
Comfortable beds and nice bathroom. Great breakfasts. We also had dinner in their Chinese restaurant one night — beautiful presentation and delicious. A bit removed from the historic district but not a problem.
