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.

- From $131.19 per night8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 1,858 reviewsAll meals I had at the hotel were great, but I do have to give a shoutout to their breakfast because it was awesome! The Staff was super friendly and diligent with any need we had. It is also worth to mention that the art around the hotel gives it a very special touch. The location was very convenient since it is close to most urban areas of San Jose (even urban areas in Heredia and Alajuela) and it was surrounded with several shopping centers and plazas with restaurants, pharmacies, convenience stores, etc.
MarcoPanama - From $57.97 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 195 reviewsCozy hotel, close to University of Costa Rica at San José, located in San Pedro. Walkable to the nearest mall (Mall San Pedro - around 15 minutes walking from the hotel), by car it is at 10-15 minutes far away from San José down town. My arriving flight was very early, and they provided me an available room despite I arrived very early morning. Nice breakfast (the common breakfast included gallo pinto -beans and rice-, eggs and fruits, but they offered me several options for breakfast). Lovely staff.PedroColombia

- From $32.77 per night8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 1,119 reviewsSpent one night in San Jose as my flight arrived in the evening. The hotel is located downtown and was a short walk from the bus station upon arrival and back to get a bus to my destination in the morning. The room reasonably priced, clean and the street noise wasn't too bad (no issues sleeping) given that it is located in the centre of a major city. I'll stay again if I ever need to spend a night in San Jose.KoreyCanada

JOSE FRANCISCO PEREIRA DA SILVA DEBrazil - From $37.18 per night6.9Scored 6.9PleasantRated pleasant· 838 reviewsThe apartment is in a shady area of San Jose and shall be chosen only in the case where somebody wants to use the public bases for an overnight stay. We used uber to go the bus terminal to avoid any possible issues by walking. This hotel also provides 2-4-8 hour stays which makes it super noisy at night and also the sound proofness is pretty bad. For its purpose it's OK to rest for a couple of hours.
