    Vibrant busy city with lots of interesting things to see and do. Name a brand and you can find it in the stores although it may be a bit on the pricey side. The one thing that struck us almost immediately was how clean things are, and the people are warm, welcoming and patient with us folks who can barely speak Spanish.

    Excellent port of entry to visit lots of Costa Rican gems!

    Excellent port of entry to visit lots of Costa Rican gems! Whether you are looking for adventure or chill beach vibes, this is the place with lots of access to tours from the city. And the city itself has a very robust historical, art and cultural experiences. Would recommend. Predominantly Spanish speaking, but lots of nationals will speak some English! So language barrier isn't a huge concern.

    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

    Me and my husband stay here everytime we come to San Jose . We have stayed here probably 10 times ( we live in Costa Rica and come to San Jose for shopping for our business ) I LOVE this hotel. It is clean, good location, private parking , and an incredible deal for the price you pay. I 10000000% recommend this hotel! I will never stay anywhere else when coming to San Jose . I always ask for a certain floor to stay on and they accommodate me everytime . We have a future booking reserved for next month already! See you soon

    A good four star hotel with everything you expect. We stayed here before and the standard rooms are spacious and well appointed. This time, we were bumped to a suite which was very comfortable. The lounge area is big and comfortable. The bar is good with meals at reasonable prices. The garden and pool area is very pretty. It's a little way out of the centre of San Jose, but very convenient for the airport, with a free bookable shuttle.

    We enjoyed everything at the hotel. The staff was exceptional. Always willing to help and accommodate our needs. The suite was just as comfortable as can be. The layout of the room was wonderful. Just really enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was great. We don't have any complaints. We come to San Jose area a lot so we will be staying again!

    We booked this hotel last minute for just the one night, but we were very glad that we did. For the price, the hotel is very well equipped and the staff were very friendly. Breakfast was also very good (one of the best banana breads I’ve ever had in fact). We were glad to be in downtown for anyone unsure which area to stay in.

    I have been staying in Hotel Balmoral since the 1980’s, and since have stayed on several occasions since over the years. It’s in a great location downtown San Jose and the staff are welcoming and friendly.
