Situated in San José, Lujoso condominio con lavadora y secadora, S. José offers a patio with pool and garden views, as well as a year-round outdoor pool, fitness room and public bath. This property offers access to a balcony, a pool table, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation provides a lift and full-day security for guests. We messed up with the booking but our host was very helpful and replied within minutes to fix everything. Thanks for that!! It is an apartment in private aparetement complex only accesible with permition. Even if the area around felt a little unsafe at night the complex is very secure and safe. Great outside area for everyone with a gym, huge pool, basketball court and many other things. You could have a nice evening walk there. The apartment as itself was super nice for one night. Even for more great. 11th floor with a great view over San Jose, furniture and everything in a great shape, fully equiped kitchen, dining area and living room in one. The two bathrooms and 2 bedrooms make it just great for a family. We enjoyed a lot and recommend this apartment. Great value - price ratio!

Situated in San José, 49 km from Poas National Park, W's Hostel features express check-in and check-out and free WiFi. It is set 3.1 km from La Sabana Metropolitan Park and offers a shared kitchen. The guest house has family rooms. Perfect for what I wanted. I arrived by Transmonteverde bus from Monteverde at about 6.30pm at the 7-10 terminal. It was dark outside but everything was well lit and there were security guards at the terminal. The hostel is amost directly opposite the terminal entry. The instructions sent to me to get inside were perfect and it was very easy. Someone greeted me once inside and took payment and helped me find kitchen equipment. My room was large and comfy. There is a minimart next to the hostel that was open when I arrived. I had brought food with me and was able to make a meal in the well equipped kitchen at the hostel. As a single woman I felt very safe. I left early the next morning to walk 10 minutes to the Tuasa bus terminal to catch a bus to the airport (which cost about 900 colones). Walking in the area in daylight felt very safe - lots of people and police around.

Located in San José and with Poas National Park reachable within 50 km, Hotel La Amistad provides concierge services, non-smoking rooms, a restaurant, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar. This 3-star hotel offers a tour desk and luggage storage space. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. The staff was really friendly and the owner. I like that the bar is downstairs. There's a great restaurant across the street and a cool rock club across the street also. Also glad it was guest friendly.
