Lots of reviews say not to spend too long in san jose as there is nothing to do. But i disagree. I spent 5 nights there and found lots of places to see.. visit.. eat at ..different neighbourhoods. There are free walking tours in the city that give you lots of information, lots of museums, lots of shops, lots of day trips nearby, lots of coffee tours nearby, lots of pubs to crawl and lots of costa rican hospitality!

The city itself has few tourist attractions.

The city itself has few tourist attractions. We loved the National Museum, especially the butterfly room. One day is probably sufficient to see the main attractions, but it's worthwhile to stay a little bit longer. There are other attractions outside the city, but you need to make on-line reservations ahead of time.

The country is beautiful and the people are lovely, at the very least helpful, but most are actually very friendly and nice. I loved the life motto in Costa Rica, one learns to take life slower and appreciate the simple things in life. The world needs to preserve it's Flora and Fauna and I got the feeling that people in Costa Rica are aware of this. Pura Vida <3

We stayed 3 nights, two full days, on our first visit to Costa Rica, before heading to a rain forest lodge, Our purpose for staying in San Jose was primarily to get a feel for the country and its history.. SJ is an interesting town, well worth a few days stay. We recommend the free guided walking tour, and the National museum, especially its butterfly garden! Sadly we didn't have enough time to visit the Jade museum, which was the favourite of our walking tour guide, nor the art museum.

It is not very nice city. Streets are dirty and smelly. I really liked the asian part though (I really recommend the Igo Ramen restaurant). We didn't explore the city, just spent there night after and before the flights.

Costa Rica is one of the better economies in Central America...

Costa Rica is one of the better economies in Central America and San Jose somewhat reflects this in prices - I have travelled a lot in south and central america and San Jose isn't cheap. Resturants etc add on local tax and service charge and tip?? - Bit like USA - however the central market is great for cheap local food and very nice. Our accomodation was in Escalante which is an up and coming suburb (30 mins walk to central San Jose) - and there are plenty cafes and resturants in that area - Uber is cheap....But many places are walkable. We did a one day volcano tour (crater lake is gone - not as per the pictures), but it was interesting - particularly the Cartago bascilica - and the central university sloth tour and central San Jose walking tours are good. Its not the excitement of the Mexico City 'Dias de Muertos' or the dramatic central square - I was there early Nov 25, but Costa Rica was good experience - nice people - and plenty good beaches and wild life.

Me and my husband stay here everytime we come to San Jose . We have stayed here probably 10 times ( we live in Costa Rica and come to San Jose for shopping for our business ) I LOVE this hotel. It is clean, good location, private parking , and an incredible deal for the price you pay. I 10000000% recommend this hotel! I will never stay anywhere else when coming to San Jose . I always ask for a certain floor to stay on and they accommodate me everytime . We have a future booking reserved for next month already! See you soon

The only proper modern hotel in our stay in Costa Rica, modelled on the Western standards. Large room with a huge bed, table, chest of drawers, closet with iron and board, spacious bathroom with a powerfull shower - all in a good state. The buffet style breakfast was varied and tasty. Central pool looked big - although we didn't use it. There's an area with several restaurans nearby and hotel provides free shuttles to the aiport which was handy.

Small 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.
