When I went to check in the hotel was in a bad part of town and locked behind a large metal compound looking gate. The area was overgrown with vegetation. Attempted to contact the facility and received no response. Very sketchy. Do not book.

    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.

    Honestly, most visitors visit Costa Rica for the beaches, surf, and volcano/jungle excursion. We have done that also. But out visits within San Jose is for it's economical and exceptional quality of Dental. We use the best, Flikier Dental Institute in Nunciatura. The staff really care about each customer as an individual. The facility uses the most modern technology and equipment in the world. Dr. Flikier is the best of the best. At less than a quarter of the cost of a US dentist with superior results and customer service.

    One day in San Jose is enough.

    One day in San Jose is enough. The gold museum is heavily overrated, and there are not many spectacular places to see in San Jose. When visitinf Costa Rica best is to minimize the time spent in San Jose, and spend more time in the countryside.

    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.

    It is a wonderful small hotel conveniently located in downtown San Jose, at a walking distance from everything you likely want to see in the capital, with good restaurants nearby. It is very safe, open 24 h, well taken care of, with a very pleasant, relaxing, friendly atmosphere. A great base to explore San Jose and have tours around. You can always expect help and good advice at this place. Strongly recommended.

    Our stay was short since we had a 1:30 am flight but it was well worth spending 8 hours here. Ken was very welcoming, the hotel is beautiful and was within walking distance to several restaurants. It is located on a golf course in a very safe area. If we come back to San Jose we'll be staying here again.
