San jose as a city is not something wow aside for some natural parks there is not much to see. But there are a lot of places outside san jose that are beautiful cause costa rica is a country with so much green that i can t even explain

I didn’t really like anything.
I didn’t really like anything. The front desk made me carry my bag up 4 flights of stairs. The room was so hot when I got inside. There was no coffee in the rooms at all and I asked multiple time for it. The shower was also clogged.KellyUnited States of America - 6.0Scored 6.0
San Jose as city is not too much to believe as other cities...
San Jose as city is not too much to believe as other cities and is a crowded city We stayed at the outside skirts of San Jose where you have more nature, mountains/scenery and less city life and visited the city several times.
BjornCuraçao - 6.0Scored 6.0
If you like a big city, San Jose is great.
If you like a big city, San Jose is great. We live in southern Costa Rica and only go to San Jose for doctor visits and shopping. It's best to take a taxi or Uber in San Jose. The traffic is crazy. Be sure to use the WAZE app instead of Google for driving around. It stays more up to date.GaryCosta Rica - 10Scored 10
I did a tour for the first two weeks of the volcano area,...
I did a tour for the first two weeks of the volcano area, rain forest, Caribbean, and then the Pacific side of the island. During the tour, we also ziplined, rode horseback, white water rafting, soaked in hot springs, and hiked the rain forest and volcano areas. When the tour ended I stayed for another 10 days in downtown San Jose and did day trips out of the apartment. People are family-oriented, friendly, and supportive. You can drink the water and use US electric devices. Go, you will love it.

We stayed here on our last night but wished we hadn't.
We stayed here on our last night but wished we hadn't. The hotel was good but there was nothing special about the city and we would have preferred to be back in Alajuela where we stayed on the first night. There was much less traffic there and lots of different birds in the trees. The park in San Jose only had grackles.

I would definitely recommend the rooftop restaurant at the hotel - San Jose is not easy to navigate at night so we ended up eating there both nights and appreciated having a place with good food that we could rely on (it also has a great view)!
