Located in downtown San Jose. High ceilings, original walls made of thick brick, arches and stained glass windows letting in colorful light, all aid in creating the hotel's warm Victorian atmosphere. Beautiful wallpaper, fine rugs, ceiling fans, mosaic tile floors and English style furniture contrast sharply with the tropical flower gardens "a la tica".

    We traveled with a flexi drive program with over 100 motels/B&Bs to choose from all over the country. This was their first choice to pre-book our first night. It was full so they booked us at the...
  • It served its purpose but I wouldn't stay there again
    TripAdvisor traveler rating: 2 of 5 stars

    After having an expensive six days in Monteverde and Arenal, I decided that I just needed an inexpensive hotel to spend the night before my flight out of San Jose. My transfer from Arenal put me into...
  • Better than we expected...
    TripAdvisor traveler rating: 4 of 5 stars

    Booked in with some trepidation; having read previous reviews. We need not have worried, our room, while a little small, was well equipped, clean and comfortable. Staff were welcoming, attentive and...
  • It could be a good hotel, but beware booking online.
    TripAdvisor traveler rating: 1 of 5 stars

    The website looks good but the room we ended up in was horrible. No pool, that was my fault. But ended up in an interior room, without airconditiong, and next to the front desk which was noisy. I...
  • Avoid Hotel Britannia! Cokroaches in room; Horrible restaurant!
    TripAdvisor traveler rating: 1 of 5 stars

    Visited on 11/2009 for my honeymoon. We showed up 3 hours late due to our taxi breaking down on the road driving from Puntarenas to San Jose. My wife and I were "upgrade" to a better room (#210) due...
  • not the greatest
    TripAdvisor traveler rating: 2 of 5 stars

    We had to stay at the Brittania for two nights, our first and last nights in Costa Rica because it was near the airport in San Jose. Of the 5 hotels we stayed in through out the country, this was our...
  • Decent for one night; Avoid the restuarant
    TripAdvisor traveler rating: 1 of 5 stars

    We stayed here for one night only because we had to fly out of San Jose the next morning, and this was the cheapest option presented by LatinDestinations.com (the site we used to book our tour). For...
  • Nice, but not great
    TripAdvisor traveler rating: 3 of 5 stars

    This was out first trip to Costa Rica, and the Britannia was recommended and booked by our travel agent. There are two parts to the Britania, the old stately home, and the newer 3-4 story add-on....

    The Britannia from streetside. Room shot towards the street side. The infamous doors to the foyer. 
  • nice hotel that had a plantation feel to it
    TripAdvisor traveler rating: 3 of 5 stars

    We stayed here 2 nights and it's a pretty decent hotel. It's near a shady area but we felt safe. there is even a 24 hr security guard. It's pretty close to town, within walking distance to main ...
  • Avoid at all costs - even if just for one night!
    TripAdvisor traveler rating: 1 of 5 stars

    The Britannia Hotel is the worst, most poorly managed hotel I have ever stayed in - and that's saying a lot. As part of our ten day vacation in Costa Rica, we were required to stay in San Jose for...
