What Guests Said About San José:

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.

There is plenty to do in San Jose and the surrounding area.
There is plenty to do in San Jose and the surrounding area. Three places to recommend: the Jade Museum, the Post Office Museum and Lankester Botanical Garden on the road to Paraiso. The Jade Museum is a revelation - it is in a new building and has a wonderful exhibition about the Pre-Colombian inhabitants of Central America. Don't be put off by its title - it is not a museum of dusty cabinets full of jade objects. Just to the right of the entrance to the Central Post Office is a museum with displays of various themes - space, calypso, biodiversity - illustrated with stamps from all over the world. The Lankester Gardens is a gem. It's a centre for the study of orchids so visit at the right time of year, e.g. March, when many are in flower. The gardens are beautifully laid out and very well cared for.

Great city.
Great city. Nice and friendly people with plenty of places to visit, especially their natural parks. Food is good, and the water is safe to drink in the city. Although the locals warned me to be cautious but I felt safe.ChepSwitzerland

- From $116.39 per night9.0Scored 9.0WonderfulRated wonderful· 844 reviewsAbsolutely amazing staff! Especially Veronica and Jorge (and one other young woman whose name I forget!) who went above and beyond to help us book things and get where we needed - we were so impressed with them we changed our booking on return to San Jose to stay with them again! Nice hotel feel with a little plant garden area, definitely get the upgraded room as there is more light and the rooms are more spacious. Comfortable beds, good breakfast. This place changed our whole holiday because of how good the staff were!

The room is very spacious and the bed is comfortable. The amenities offered in the bathroom are also great and internet speed works just fine. The pool area is beautiful and the gym has the necessary equipments to work out. The staff is very friendly and ready to help with any tip that we needed about the city/transportation.Ana CarolinaBrazil
- From $192.10 per night8.8Scored 8.8ExcellentRated excellent· 386 reviewsProbably one of the most wonderful hotel experiences I have ever had. Beautiful architecture and decor, mountain views, and excellent service from the staff. Everything was over the top. They offer an incredible breakfast spread (with many, many juices). Pool/bar area is very luxurious. Adjacent to several shops, a spa, grocery, food truck court (very nice, with a large, collaborative patio area, and restaurants. Also very close to the San Jose airport. We will return to this magnificent hotel again!

They helped me with everything I needed and I even enjoyed it more being there because of their kindness. The room was quite big, there was enough space to store my stuff and even a couch. The living and kitchen area in the hotel were cosy and from the balcony you could see beautiful lights from San Jose. The breakfast was delizioso. They even served me breakfast early in the morning when I had to leave.
TinekeGermany - From $214.56 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 1,247 reviewsRooms were plenty spacious and you could not ask for a more central location. We were only in San Jose for a day but we were able to walk to see everything. Also the breakfast was UNREAL - so good and so many options. We also had a drink at their bar after are long flight. The staff was very welcoming and nice. It’s was a great start to our Costa Rica trip and even though we were there for only one night, the hotel left a really welcoming impression.

Buffet breakfast was excellent, so many options, wish we'd had more than one opportunity to sample it!
DougUnited Kingdom - From $84.64 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 722 reviewsLoved this place. Near all museums yet off the main roads. So many outdoor sitting areas for relaxation. We enjoyed the spa every night and my kid loved the pool. Booked 3 nights but stayed an extra one. Loved seeing the sights of San Jose but hanging around the hotel was also very relaxing. Good breakfasts as well! Would stay if I ever find myself in San Jose again. Rooms were comfortable.JenniferCosta Rica

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)! The location was very central.ElizabethUnited Kingdom
