    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.

    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.

    I was there for a seminar so did not have time for sightseeing. I rented a car for easy transport. Enjoyed close by restaurants for dinner in the evenings. I don’t remember the names of the restaurants but they were suggested by the concierge and fellow participants of the seminar I attended

    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

    Good price and one of the best rooms we had in Costa Rica. The basics were all there: hot water and good water pressure, clean beds/no need bugs, decent noise-proofing, good buffet breakfast. The personnel was also very friendly. The hotel is only a short walk away from the park La Sabana, and about 20 mins on foot from the city centre. The area didn't feel dangerous (maybe just a bit lonely), also at night. There's a subway not too far away from it.

    Actually, I have stayed at Studio Hotle Boutique many times. I go back each time because I am confident that the facility will be the same very comfortable place to spend the night and where I will enjoy a cocktail at their comfortable bar before bed a very wholesome breakfast in the morning when I arise. This is my favorite hotel in the San José area; and, a real treat.

    Charming place in the very centre of San José. Nice, refreshing pool and warm jacuzzi. The breakfast is served a la carte (you have three options to choose from). All of them come with good coffee and fresh fruits. The hotel provides a very good base to explore the capital and prepare for the rest of your journey in Costa Rica. Very nice owners!

    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.
