The appartment was clean and comfortable. The beds were good. Hot shower which we appreciated very much after many cold ones during our roundtrip. Breakfast delicious! Even though the water of the pool was quite cold, we enjoyed it. The park nearby is great for a walk and the kids could run off their energy there. The atmosphere of the hotel is just very nice.

San Jose is the capital of Costa Rica and is a pretty typical big city. Traffic is awful, but the drivers are pretty polite. Not a huge amount to do in the city, but one doesn’t come to Costa Rica for San Jose. Airport is entirely decent, clean with good amenities.
There’s lots to see in San Jose and yet many tourists skip straight to the beach and miss out on this interesting city. Try the tour of the National Theatre, the Gold Museum and Jade Museum for starters. Then there’s the Mercado Central for a slice of typical Costa Rican life - you can buy excellent coffee here at a fraction of the prices in the tourist shops and about half the price of the airport shops! Watch the beans being roasted too!
San Jose is a nondescript town, but it does have a certain charm. All roads lead to San Jose: you have to pass through it when going from one place to another. It is easy to get around, safe, and if you look hard enough, there are a few cool spots to see. It is a city which is growing, and new restaurants and cafes open daily. There is also a vital theatre scene, if you can speak Spanish. And there are some clubs too! In general, spend as little time there as possible, but it is pleasant enough while there.
San Jose is a great place to give you a real feel for what Costa Ricans are like. It's frenetic and dirty and crumbling and beautiful, at least in the city's center. We stayed in hostels near the downtown, but also visited the University of Costa Rica, which was calm and serene and green, and also beautiful.
The feel of a big city not the quiet countryside. Clouded bustling streets but the people are friendly if approached. There are two must see markets. The better known Central Market is a good place for eating a good seafood lunch like the locals. The less known second market is a few blocks away and is a collective of a hundred or so small family businesses offering mostly local foods. A great spot for sampling the various fruits of the region. Other must sees- the Jade Museum and the Gold Museum. The latter included much about the indigenous people. Sitting in the parks and people watching is a nice way to unwind from the somewhat frantic atmosphere of the central district streets.
Loved all the pedestrian streets that were closed to vehicular traffic. Loved the abundance of bakeries! Only thing I didn't like is how all the taxi drivers seem to rip off travellers in at least some small way.
I did not know that this was a hostel when I booked it for my family. We were worried but we couldn’t have been happier. This is a beautifully decorated and comfortable home! They even had a PlayStation which my kids went crazy for. There is a garage where we were able to park our car. It’s in a foodie neighborhood with tons of hip restaurants but you can take a long walk to downtown San Jose and the Mercado. We were told San Jose was a dump but we were pleasantly surprised with the art and culture.
Well located in the middle of what appeared to be the main busy street in San José. Decent sized rooms which despite being dated were also very clean. Beds were comfortable too. Breakfast was good, we had gallo pinto (eggs, rice and beans, plantain) everywhere in Costa Rica and this was one of the tastiest. If that doesn't excite you they had other items on offer too for an extra cost. The breakfast staff were very helpful in dealing with our dietary requirements!
The staff were amazing and the most helpful I have had helping me plan multiple day trips from San Jose. They even packaged me a breakfast to go on the days I was leaving early. The price for what you get is a bargain especially comparing to other places I have stayed in Costa Rica. The breakfast was lovely and substantial and there is plenty of social space. The first properly hot showers I have been to which was a luxury before I headed back from my month long trip.
Beautiful facility with interesting modern art. Room was well-appointed, modern, and comfortable! A great value...was half the price of other hotels! Manager allowed us to leave our car in secure lot after checkout so we could explore downtown museums on foot. Pura vida y muchas gracias! Breakfast was delicious and varied with something for everyone.
Both restaurants make great food. The place has a pool, jacuzzi and a small cardio gym area. The staff is amazing. Rooms are clean. If you leave the hotel and make a left and then another left at the intersection and walk straight you will be inside San Jose downtown in less than 10 min walk. Greet place. I loved my stuff and will be back soon
The Barceló es a wonderful surprise. It is close to downtown San Jose and to our dentist's office while the grounds seem to be in the middle of the rainforest. The room was clean, comfortable and roomy. The food was very good with an amazing choice of breakfast food. And the airport shuttle was efficient. We couldn't ask for more.
This hotel was perfect for us after landing in San Jose, leaving 3 days later to Tamarindo. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the breakfast was amazing! Rooms are exceptionally clean with a handy fridge for your water. The pool area is the highlight of the hotel with great views. We couldn't have asked for more!
Massive bed, large walk in shower and good hotel restaurant. Very close to car hire in Paseo Colon, just a few minutes walk to collect our hire car. Can walk to downtown in about 20/25 minutes to see the National Theatre and Museums. Can easily get a taxi to downtown, taxis are everwhere in San Jose.
Reasonably close to bus stations, 24 hour reception and staff who speak English. I have stayed here a few times now and it the perfect place to stay if you are just in San Jose to catch buses to other Costa Rican destinations. Secure lockers, a power socket for each bed and modern bathrooms.
Best hotel so far of our 3 weeks in Costa Rica! Very tidy and comfortable and furnished with good taste. Very helpful and friendly owner. Laundry on site. Incredible value for money. Beautiful little garden in the courtyard. Near the center but on a quiet street.
Perfect when arriving to or departing from Costa Rica. Near airport and car rentals. They offer shuttle service from/to the airport for 20 usd for a group of 4 people. 20 min. by local bus to downtown. Very friendly staff, clean rooms and delicious breakfast
Great hostel. Very close to la Fortuna bus stop and also to the downtown. Very knowledgeable staff helps you planning your travels in Costa Rica. Clean and useful amenities, simple breakfast included. Great for a night in San Jose before moving your destination.
Adorable facilities with great staff who made great recommendations about the area. The breakfast was delicious and the breakfast area had trees and plants and felt like a taste of Costa Rica jungle despite being only a 10 minute walk from downtown San José.
Great location for exploring San Jose. The dorms are clean and comfortable, although the room doors can't be locked (they sell locks for use of lockers). Staff were very helpful in providing directions to supermarkets and the downtown area.
The hotel was a gem in the centre of San Jose. It is a boutique hotel and it’s very arty and interesting. The staff are friendly and the property is clean. There is a lovely outside area on floor 4, with great views of the city.
Beautiful boutique style hotel on edge of bustling downtown San Jose. Complimentary shuttle pick up at 9pm, and greeted by friendly and sweet staff at hotel. Rooms exceptionally clean and comfortable, yet simple.
Very lovely hotel, not too far away from the pedestrian areas. Very charming with its inner courtyard full of plants and flowers. Very friendly staff, all in all: perfect choice for San Jose.
Perfect location for downtown San Jose. Nice staff, good breakfast, fast Wi-Fi and hot water showers. Lots of good places to eat nearby. Entire place kept very clean.
The location as very central to the Sabana park and very safe. It seemed upscale and the downtown area is not too far from the hotel. Food was pretty good.
Great location in downtown San Jose
