I’ve visited San Jose Costa Rica many times since the 1970s.
I’ve visited San Jose Costa Rica many times since the 1970s. It’s gotten completely jammed with traffic, but it is a beautiful city with lots to see and admire. My favorite is the old concert hall, which I’m blanking on the name, but it is the only concert hall I believe in the city. Being a city it’s always important to watch your pockets, and this is become a problem, the last couple decades. The people in general are very charming and it is definitely worth a visit.

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.

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.

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.

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.
The property was nice and was very clean and comfortable. The hotel is very far from the center of San Jose. A lot of tour companies use this hotel as the starting point to their tours of Costa Rica. If you want to be in San Jose which is very nice to visit do not stay here. It is far from the airport and anything that San Jose has to offer. It will cost you an expensive taxi or Uber ride to get to San Jose and back to the hotel.
The food was so so and expensive. It is better to go out of the hotel to eat.
This is a lovely authentic old colonial family house converted to a hotel..It's excellent value for money. The staff & owner are very friendly & go out of their way for their clients.The breakfast is light & very nice. The hotel is very close to lots of lovely outdoor restaurants & coffee shops in Escalante, one of the best areas in downtown San Jose, so it's worth checking out. All in all, this hotel is excellent value & we will certainly book it again upon our return.
"Hotel" Coto is the brothel used by local prostitutes .I did not know that at the time of booking. Every time I am in San Jose , Costa Rica I stay in Hotel El Maragato , but they been totally booked at the time of booking. The price was 58 US dollars I paid 60 and they wanted 2 dollars more ., that in colones would over 1..160 colones. Why three women yelling and screaming took from me over 6 thousand colones I really do not know. Place has 90 procent bad reviews.
Best hostel in Costa Rica hands down. 4 weeks spent here overall..Wonderful family, I wish I had their love /hoapitality back home. Its quiet, lovely communal area, wonderful breakfast. Great shower, lovely guests. Its awesome. I love it, booked an extra 3 nights. I'm easily pleased but this is the de-facto place to stay I'm San Jose should you be looking for a dorm bed. David is just the best, lovely wife and children. I'll miss it terribly. Thank you David and co.
Loved the central location to San Jose, the beautiful gardens surrounding the hotel and amazing views of the city from the pool area. The hammocks were delightful way to spend a lazy afternoon. The rooms were beautifully appointed, food was tasty and I truly appreciated the free shuttle to and from the airport. I enjoyed staying there and highly recommend a stay however, be aware there are always people in the entrance due to tour company travelers.
The staff was very friendly and helpful with questions about San José, they even helped me find a way to get to other areas in Costa Rica. The hostel had a nice relaxed vibe and is always clean. There's an outdoor area that is beautiful and surrounded by nature and its great for socializing with everyone.
It's in a nice area that is in walking distance from many things like Sodas, the mall, Barrio Escalante, etc. Overall awesome stay
Hotel Aranjuez is located in a very nice area, some 15mins (safe) walking distance north of Plaza de Democracia.
It has a jungle like garden in the backyard with flying birds and squirrels running around. Breakfast is also served there (the best we had in 3 weeks in Costa Rica) so you can already experience some "wild life" while being in the capital city. Rooms were very clean and quite spacious. Staff was really nice and helpfull.
The room was spacious for just one person, everything very clean. the breakfast was lovely and the area where you go to eat is really nicely decorated and has lovely interior. the staff were very kind and friendly. I mostly used this as a place to stay whilst recovering jet lag and before heading to elsewhere in Costa Rica but the area was the only nice and safe area in San Jose with lots of cool bars & restaurants.
La Sabana was the highlight of our stay in the city, we did not particularly enjoy San Jose but next time we visit Costa Rica we might stay a few nights anyway just for this place. The staff is the sweetest and most attentive I've ever experienced in a hotel. The rooms were spacious and cleaned daily and the breakfast was simply amazing. I highly recommend this place to anyone.
¡Wow! YES! Every Day & All Day. Casa De~Leo. "HOTEL del Paseo" .5th Floor Penthouse with a view. The rooms are very clean and the staff BEYOND accomodating. One of the best places I have stayed, in Costa Rica....Coming or going ..You will be safe and all of your needs met here. A true Gem in San Jose/ Costa Rica. Pura Vida!
The hotel is a beautiful old building very close to the centre of San Jose. There are good restaurants and bars close by. I read previous reviews worrying about the area but in our view it felt very safe and comfortable. The hotel was very clean and we had a lovely room with balcony. Good breakfast and helpful staff
Excellent location downtown San Jose for Museum, Architecture, live musicians & artisans merhcants displaying their work on the brick stone walkway. Very very convenient to markets, an array of freshly prepared ethnic food sites everywhere, fresh fruits & spices.
Great location.
Nice location in one of the prettiest neighborhoods in San Jose, within easy walking distance of the downtown area, the Teatro Nacional and the other sites to see. The rooms were clean enough and the breakfast area was pretty neat, with lots of plants growing indoors.
Stayed at the Sleep Inn for one night before joining a tour group. The Hotel is centrally located and walkable for sightseeing in downtown San Jose and the rooms are clean and tastefully decorated. Happy we chose this hotel among all the others.
It is a well appointed apartment in the downtown area of San Jose. The large apartment has an equipped kitchen. air, lots of towels. The staff was more than accommodating when I was late arriving. They assisted me at every turn.
Super friendly staff. Very helpful!! Breakfast was great. Location is safe and in a good area to shop. Bus station in front of the hotel to go downtown. I stayed for four nights!
The location is great. Close to the Sabana park. It is a peaceful place. Not far from downtown San José. There ia very nice pool and the best japonese restaurant in town.
The hotel is located in central San José next to an important bus terminal, the pedestrian area and the central market. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
