What Guests Said About San José:

San José traffic is a hard pull to swallow.
San José traffic is a hard pull to swallow. The volcanos are covered by clouds so you may travel 2-3 hours and see nothing. The white water rafting was the highlight of the trip but not much to do. San Jose is extremely expensive. Prices are comparable to USA expensive resort prices. Ex: $4 for a soda. Also they have taxes for everything and then they ask you for more money. Their tipping is out of control

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.KentUnited States of America - 8.0Scored 8.0

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 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

- From $116.39 per night9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 871 reviewsBeautiful property. This house that has been turned into a hotel is very luxurious. It also was very clean with no black mold. We arrived in Costa Rica during the rainy season. I am sensitive to black mold. Every hotel we stayed at but this one has a black mold issue. This one does not. It has a beautiful pool, beautiful view, this is the nicest non-chain hotel I found in San Jose Costa Rica. I liked this hotel so much we came back a day early to San Jose so we could stay here again.KatherineUnited States of America

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 $211.38 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 1,200 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.

A delicious breakfast was also included in the room rate - with the option to purchase more if you so desire - but bread, jam and poached eggs were great.MartinUnited States of America

- From $32.77 per night8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 1,130 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
- From $37.18 per night6.8Scored 6.8PleasantRated pleasant· 825 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.
Alexandros GesiosGreece - From $180.80 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 694 reviewsLovely modern facade and reception area. Room and bed were both large and comfortable and the room was very clean. 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.
