    We spent the first and last night of our trip to Costa Rica in San José, but in retrospect, that was one night too many. Due to the traffic chaos, it simply takes too long to get to the hotels in San José, so you lose the desire to really explore the city.

    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.

    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.

    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 luck

    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!

    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.

    comfortable accommodation close to the center and the terminal, Flor is a very nice, kind and helpful hostess, she provides above-standard service for a low price, keeps everything in absolute cleanliness and will meet your needs, for example she arranged for me to have my laundry washed and dried within a few hours and at a price that you won't find anywhere else in Costa Rica. I felt very comfortable here and if I ever make a stopover in San José again, I would definitely like to stay here again

    Liked it so much, i stayed at it at the beginning and end of trip to Costa Rica. Liked the mix of contempoary, tradtional and urban styles. Lots of ecletic furniture and decorative objects in the warehouse style reception area. Bedroom modern and simply sophisticated. Hotel situated in central area and good for visiting museums, theatre and churches. Lovely roof top terrace garden with bar and restaurant, had great meal and cocktail. Good breakfast buffet selection

    We stayed at Barcelo as the first hotel for our Honeymoon after our flight to San Jose for 2 nights. The staff were so friendly, they left us a lovely Honeymoon surprise and loved the free snack room with food and drinks :) a huge breakfast selection which was lovely. We loved the pool area and it was just the perfect place to relax after our flight and settle into Costa Rica!
