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.Guest review byRobertGermany - 6.0

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

- From $62.15 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.1Wonderful - What previous guests thought, 2,057 reviewsThe hotel staff are extremely nice and helpful. They helped us with the parking and gave us useful advice for exploring San José. The garden is beautiful with beautiful Costa Rican art distributed everywhere. The breakfast especially is amazing and they always come to you to ensure that you have everything you need and are ready to refill your drinks anytime. I can highly recommend this hotel and will always come back when I stay in San José.Guest review byXiSwitzerland
- From $190 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.9Excellent - What previous guests thought, 1,837 reviewsA nice find in a good area of San Jose, only a 30 minute drive from the airport. It has a really nice vibe with lots of original art on display on every floor - a genuine boutique hotel. Decent breakfast, a Pool on the 3rd floor - nice to catch the sunset. Tea & coffee available at all times. Safe underground car park. Near to a wide variety of restaurants and shops in Santa AnaGuest review byRichardUnited Kingdom
- From $167.81 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.6Excellent - What previous guests thought, 3,109 reviewsFriendly staff and good breakfast, free and save parking on the hotel compound, convenient restaurant option for late arrival next door in the Casino. The location of the hotel is quite good: It is possible to walk to downtown San Jose or to the market. The only bad point: we had a room facing directly the street and it was very noisy.Guest review bySylviaGermany

- From $184.94 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.5Very Good - What previous guests thought, 802 reviewsReally nice hotel with comfortable clean room. The dining area on the 5th floor has great views of the city. Food was quiet good although a bit on the expensive side. There is not that much to do in San Jose but the location of the hotel is very central.Guest review byOzgurSpain
