San Jose is a patchwork of beautiful sites amidst a chaotic mess of traffic-riddled highways. We didn't really stay long enough to give it an accurate review, but our short stay was not encouraging. We spent most of our time in Costa Rica on the Pacific Coast, which was quite pleasant.Guest review byJoshuaUnited States - 8.0

In general the city hasn't much to it - the best part is getting out on tours to see some nature! Traffic is also terrible at peak times, sometimes tripling the time is takes to get somewhere. Overall I had an enjoyable experience, but was reliant on tours, organised activities, extensive research on restaurants and Uber to get around.Guest review byKarenIreland - 4.0

As much as we like the hotel we we're impressed with the city It was dirty, sad and unpleasant city while la fortuna is exact opposite I hope they work in San Jose and improve the city. It really could attack people if this city will clean up with some good parks and development Good luckGuest review byAnonymous - 8.0
There is much to do and see here…very spread out.
There is much to do and see here…very spread out. Might be wise budget-wise if longer stay to rent a car. Otherwise Uber is great here! The Green Arc Foundation, the art museum, walking tours, local food—Soda—, La Chimba, Sunday farmer markets, and refreshing climate are all so enjoyable!Guest review byKimberlieUnited States - 4.0

The most significant disadvantages of San Jose are the traffic--which is truly some of the worst one can imagine--and the overall lack of safe, public commons. The lack of public commons is a common issue to most of the country but seems worse in San Jose as nearly all property is behind bars and razor wire. There are some close by attractions for tourists so it can be a good base for a stay.Guest review byDouglas GilbertUnited States - 10.0

I was there for a seminar so did not have time for sightseeing. I rented a car for easy transport. Enjoyed close by restaurants for dinner in the evenings. I don’t remember the names of the restaurants but they were suggested by the concierge and fellow participants of the seminar I attendedGuest review byMatalonPanama

I felt very comfortable here and if I ever make a stopover in San José again, I would definitely like to stay here againGuest review byEvaCzech Republic

All the facilities within the apartment, with spotlessly, clean, modern and comfortable. The front desk staff were helpful and friendly and the extra amenities, such as the laundry and rooftop hot tub were brilliant! we would definitely stay again.Guest review byMaryUnited Kingdom
- From Rp 1,938,058 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.4Very good - What previous guests thought, 2,029 reviewsThis hotel is a great location to explore downtown San Jose on foot. We had a room on the 11th floor and the views of the city were awesome. It was clean, the a/c worked well, the king size bed was in the Goldilocks zone (not too hard, not too soft!) The buffet breakfast was extensive. The staff were friendly and helpful.Guest review bySamanthaCanada
- From Rp 3,001,381 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.9Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 1,850 reviewsI live in Costa Rica and stay at Studio Hotel quite often on trips to San Jose. I have a "favourite room" at the hotel - I requested it once earlier in the year. I didn't request it this time, nevertheless they put me in that room. That kind of attention to detail is why I stay. They are always right on top of it.Guest review bysarahUnited Kingdom
