Vibrant busy city with lots of interesting things to see and do. Name a brand and you can find it in the stores although it may be a bit on the pricey side. The one thing that struck us almost immediately was how clean things are, and the people are warm, welcoming and patient with us folks who can barely speak Spanish.Guest review byDavidBarbados - 10.0
Excellent port of entry to visit lots of Costa Rican gems!
Excellent port of entry to visit lots of Costa Rican gems! Whether you are looking for adventure or chill beach vibes, this is the place with lots of access to tours from the city. And the city itself has a very robust historical, art and cultural experiences. Would recommend. Predominantly Spanish speaking, but lots of nationals will speak some English! So language barrier isn't a huge concern.Guest review byJuleneJamaica - 4.0

We spent the first and last night of our trip to Costa Rica in San José, but in retrospect, that was one night too many. Due to the traffic chaos, it simply takes too long to get to the hotels in San José, so you lose the desire to really explore the city.Guest review byRobertGermany - 6.0

San Jose is a patchwork of beautiful sites amidst a chaotic mess of traffic-riddled highways. We didn't really stay long enough to give it an accurate review, but our short stay was not encouraging. We spent most of our time in Costa Rica on the Pacific Coast, which was quite pleasant.Guest review byJoshuaUnited States - 8.0

In general the city hasn't much to it - the best part is getting out on tours to see some nature! Traffic is also terrible at peak times, sometimes tripling the time is takes to get somewhere. Overall I had an enjoyable experience, but was reliant on tours, organised activities, extensive research on restaurants and Uber to get around.Guest review byKarenIreland - 4.0

As much as we like the hotel we we're impressed with the city It was dirty, sad and unpleasant city while la fortuna is exact opposite I hope they work in San Jose and improve the city. It really could attack people if this city will clean up with some good parks and development Good luckGuest review byMonirArgentina

- From US$42.94 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.6Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 1,001 reviewsIt is a wonderful small hotel conveniently located in downtown San Jose, at a walking distance from everything you likely want to see in the capital, with good restaurants nearby. It is very safe, open 24 h, well taken care of, with a very pleasant, relaxing, friendly atmosphere. A great base to explore San Jose and have tours around. You can always expect help and good advice at this place. Strongly recommended.Guest review bySergeyUnited States
- From US$146.67 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.1Superb - What previous guests thought, 1,495 reviewsGreat apartment in a great location. It was our first stop in Costa Rica and we can recommend this place to all tourists who arrive to the country. Plenty of bars, restaurants and cafes in the neighborhood (within 5 minutes walk) in a safe area. It is a 30 minutes walk to the downtown. Apartment and the building are new. Easy to get there by taxi from the airport.Guest review byBernhardGermany
- From US$45.09 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.2Good - What previous guests thought, 1,201 reviewsSmall budget hotel in a quiet area close to the center of San Jose. It has this traditional style that has its charme. The breakfast offer is coffee or tea with scrambled eggs and rice with beans - no other options offered. It is a solid option for a short stay on a budget. Staff is very friendly and accommodating, it definitely helps to bring some Spanish.Guest review byOliverGermany
- From US$84.75 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.7Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 739 reviewsThis hotel was our first stop in Costa Rica. It's a little gem on the outskirts on San Jose, perfect to start your Costa Rican trip. The rooms are spacious and clean, breakfast is served by the cutest lady. We didn't use the pool but that's were breakfast is served and they view was great!Guest review byElissonPortugal
