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.

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.RichardUnited Kingdom

Ana CarolinaBrazil - 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 $36.44 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very GoodRated very good· 613 reviewsThe night was confortable as well as the uncomplicated check in. For all sorts of questions about San Jose and travaling around Central America we could talk to the very friendly English speaking host of the In The Wind Hostel and also to other travalers and guests in the lovely atrium garden while enjoying the amazing pancake breakfast. In all it´s an ideal and safe place to start your jurny in San Jose or even in Costa Rica, if your not looking for some luxary hotel.AAlexanderGermany
- From $80.09 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 3,526 reviewsA good four star hotel with everything you expect. We stayed here before and the standard rooms are spacious and well appointed. This time, we were bumped to a suite which was very comfortable. The lounge area is big and comfortable. The bar is good with meals at reasonable prices. The garden and pool area is very pretty. It's a little way out of the centre of San Jose, but very convenient for the airport, with a free bookable shuttle.

- From $131.19 per night8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 1,858 reviewsThe location was great, in a neat area of San Jose. The hotel seemed nice, we enjoyed all the wall decor although our kids found some nude portraits quite funny. Breakfast was good and it was our first encounter with the traditional food. We did try the local restaurant for dinner but the pizza was not the best. Beds were ok, pillows could have been better and bathroom amenities could be improved too.
