I didn’t really like anything. The front desk made me carry my bag up 4 flights of stairs. The room was so hot when I got inside. There was no coffee in the rooms at all and I asked multiple time for it.

San Jose as city is not too much to believe as other cities and is a crowded city We stayed at the outside skirts of San Jose where you have more nature, mountains/scenery and less city life and visited the city several times.

If you like a big city, San Jose is great.
If you like a big city, San Jose is great. We live in southern Costa Rica and only go to San Jose for doctor visits and shopping. It's best to take a taxi or Uber in San Jose. The traffic is crazy. Be sure to use the WAZE app instead of Google for driving around. It stays more up to date.

I did a tour for the first two weeks of the volcano area, rain forest, Caribbean, and then the Pacific side of the island. During the tour, we also ziplined, rode horseback, white water rafting, soaked in hot springs, and hiked the rain forest and volcano areas.
When the tour ended I stayed for another 10 days in downtown San Jose and did day trips out of the apartment.
People are family-oriented, friendly, and supportive. You can drink the water and use US electric devices. Go, you will love it.

We stayed here on our last night but wished we hadn't.
We stayed here on our last night but wished we hadn't. The hotel was good but there was nothing special about the city and we would have preferred to be back in Alajuela where we stayed on the first night. There was much less traffic there and lots of different birds in the trees. The park in San Jose only had grackles.

There is plenty to do in San Jose and the surrounding area.
There is plenty to do in San Jose and the surrounding area. Three places to recommend: the Jade Museum, the Post Office Museum and Lankester Botanical Garden on the road to Paraiso. The Jade Museum is a revelation - it is in a new building and has a wonderful exhibition about the Pre-Colombian inhabitants of Central America. Don't be put off by its title - it is not a museum of dusty cabinets full of jade objects. Just to the right of the entrance to the Central Post Office is a museum with displays of various themes - space, calypso, biodiversity - illustrated with stamps from all over the world. The Lankester Gardens is a gem. It's a centre for the study of orchids so visit at the right time of year, e.g. March, when many are in flower. The gardens are beautifully laid out and very well cared for.
The hotel is convenient located 10 minutes away from the airport and offers pick up and drop off shuttle for free which is great for someone that needs to stay only a couple of nights in San Jose.
The room is very spacious and the bed is comfortable. The amenities offered in the bathroom are also great and internet speed works just fine. The pool area is beautiful and the gym has the necessary equipments to work out.
The staff is very friendly and ready to help with any tip that we needed about the city/transportation.
Hotel Aranjuez is located in a very nice area, some 15mins (safe) walking distance north of Plaza de Democracia.
It has a jungle like garden in the backyard with flying birds and squirrels running around. Breakfast is also served there (the best we had in 3 weeks in Costa Rica) so you can already experience some "wild life" while being in the capital city. Rooms were very clean and quite spacious. Staff was really nice and helpfull.
The staff was very polite and courteous. Hotel clean and smells very fresh. Relaxed and quiet atmosphere. The breakfast is outstanding. Clean towels, bedding very clean and neat. I love so much making a third week to stay again. I would highly recommend this hotel if you’re ever in San Jose Rohrmoser. Very professional staff. A very quiet area. Even the taxi driver Herman is an outstanding help. They tended to me with utmost respect.
Very beautiful, elegant and cozy decor. Room with good Wi-Fi and safe. Also quiet.It has a beautiful and cozy garden with a fountain. Good gym for my needs. Jacuzzi for guests. Excellent restaurant with French Costa Rican fusion food. Efficient staff. Location: the neighborhood where the hotel is located is good, but a little far from attractions. A 20 minute walk or a cheap $3 Uber to downtown.So location OK
Breakfast was good, room was great! Location was a little tough to find as the roads in San Jose are not marked. We was told to use "Waze" instead of other GPS and as long as you loaded it in wifi area with next location before leaving hotel it worked great. Their Italian restaurant located in front of hotel was best Italian food I have ever had and good prices.
Great location, good value, friendly staff, decent food. All these combined in one hotel is tough to get in San Jose or any capital in the world....I had business to do in San Jose and everything was within a 2000 colones Uber ride....The other guests were not obnoxious, which is quite common and annoying at cheaper hotels in Costa Rica....Ill come back.
The staff is wonderful and very helpful. Breakfast was very good (bread, jams, juice, fruit, and eggs with a slice of tomato) and plentiful. The location is great for exploring downtown San Jose, walking distance to almost everything. The owner even arranges affordable transportation to/from the airport.
great hotel with lovely swimming pool area in a safe and quite area of San Jose
(only 15 min away from the airport). My daughter forgot her airpods but luckily the cleaning lady found them. Elisa from the reception arranged a courier to our next accommodation! Again many thanks for the swift action.
It is clean and sleek. The rooms are clean and comfortable. It is in a great location. Without traffic it is about 20 minutes from the airport. From downtown San Jose it is only about 10 minutes. We felt comfortable walking around the neighborhood at night. Will definitely stay here again.
The property was very clean and comfortable. It was a great start to 3 weeks in Costa Rica. Breakfast everyday was wonderful. It was a standard Costa Rican breakfast. This is a no frills mid range boutique hotel. This is a great place to rest your head after arriving in San Jose.
Very nice hotel in a quiet area from San José. Super friendly staff and amazing breakfast. There are some restaurants and supermarkets in the area, but be aware that this is not the area where San José's nightlife is happening (which, for me is a plus).
I have stayed at this hotel many times. I love the feel of going slightly back in time! Beautiful lobby with a grand piano that's played every night! Very nice pool area,and the grounds are beautiful. Only place I will stay while in San Jose.
The location was at the center, within walking distance to most of the attractions in San Jose downtown area. The room was spacious, cozy, and most importantly clean. The lobby design was quite cute and interesting.
it’s a nice modern property located a short walk from downtown San Jose. The hotel does provide an optional breakfast in the cafe located on the ground floor, plus breakfast can be bundled into a room deal.
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.
The hotel is nice, very clean, serving an excellent breakfast. Located in a beautiful residential area of San Jose, a bit away from the main roads or shopping areas.
