Where to stay in San Jose
San Jose hotels & accommodations
In our trip through Costa Rica, my dad and I repeated the place because we like it lots! the staff, the cleanliness, the facilities, the breakfast (included), the swimming pool area.... I would go again, thank you!
We ended our Costa Rica trip here, and loved coming to a modern, clean, beautiful place. The surrounding area is old, and a bit dirty (it's downtown San Jose), yet this is a little Oasis of greatness right in the middle of everything that you can see in San Jose (as there's not too much to see). Staff was very friendly, and the Hotel itself was quite nice.
had a great stay... Would return there if I were to travel to San Jose in the future. The hotel staff was very accommodating with changes in our arrival time. It seemed like a busy place with a nice buzz.
They didn't have a standard room ready so they upgraded us to business class. The staff spoke good English and were helpful when we asked them for assistance. We ate at the resturant and the food was superb. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel.
Great value for your money, breakfast was awesome
This hotel was awesome except for one thing. It doesn't have a pool. Other than that it was great!
The rooms a spacious und very clean, we srayed with our two kids 9 and 12 at the 10th floor with a great view on San Jose. The highl for our boys was definitely the indoor pool on the third floor. Of all included breakfasts in Costa Rica during our three weeks journey this one was absolutely the best.
Bathroom needed updating, poor maintainence
Hyatt Hotels are always nice, but I was truely empressed with this one. It was located in a great plaza with lots of nice restaurants and other facilities nearby. Everything was excellent except that the orange and pineapple juice at the breakfast bar was not made from fresh fruit and tasted terrible!
Would definitely recommend this hotel to friends. The staff is fantastic, helping us to arrange dinners and other things. Also the hotel is across the street from one of the best restaurants in San Jose.
Room: clean, big Net: foc and fast location: approx USD35 from airport and takes 35 mins Very close to mall New hotel - less than 3 mths old
Nice clean hotel. Place is about 15 mins from the main bit of town. Staff are kind and will arrange cabs etc. Hotel is good value for Costa Rica and feels personal with lots of open space. Breakfasts are amazing and not to be missed.
Friendly new hotel. There are a lot of different types of restaurants on walking distance. It isn't close to the city center of San Jose. That will take about 25min/$25-$30 by taxi. To start/finalize a trip to San Jose it is a perfect place to choose.
Their was a big difference in the staff. The night guy was a lot better than the day gay. Included breakfast was very disappointing just toast. If you want anything else, like an egg, you have to pay extra. Not included by my opinion
I respect Ester for running her operation all by herself, it's a lot of work, she's also a nice woman. She was very helpful to me when I needed something done I couldn't do myself. Her house is large and well kept. Very good location if you need access to Escazu. Very modern small city with all amenities. Good value for the money.
super friendly staff that was more than willing to help out whenever I asked. I stayed in the single room which was clean and comfortable but had a kind of musty smell to it but it is an old building. They offer coffee in the morning and it is attached to a really yummy restaurant called The Corner - definitely stop by for breakfast you will not be disappointed. Ki...
Quiet Oasis above San Jose. Enjoy the view and tasty breakfast
I alwasy use this hotel when i come to Costa Rica San Jose. Their gym is amazing big and equipped. Japanese restaurant Fuji is veny nice to have.
Great rooms, a nice sojourn after th rainforests of Costa Rica
Recommend this hotel to friends
Costa Rica Guesthouse was a good place to spend my last night before flying out back home. As almost all hotels in CR it is overpriced, but it was clean (though bedsheets had lots of old ink stains on them) and the bathrooms were nice.
The hostel is fine, staff very friendly, the place is clean and has a chill vibe about it. I don’t however, recommend the airport pick up service.After two flights and about 14 hours of travel time, the guy in charge of my airport pick up was nowhere to be found.I had to go through all the names on the drivers’ boards twice. After which, I stood in a corner feeling str...
Friendly helpful staff, great location. Easy walk to museums and surrounded by tons of great restaurants and bars.
After reading the reviews for this hotel i was like im going to try it. I was not disappointed at all. The guy at the front desk( I forgot his name because i was having too much fun) was amazing!!! In the middle of all the action. I had room# 704 and it was a nice size room with a balcony. I had a blast!!!!!
This hotel is a good option for those on vacation, mainly if you travel with your family. Location is good, since it's on a walking distance to downtown. Also nice to have a swiming pool and free internet. However, it's not a good option for business travelers: too noise. If you need a comfortable bad, also not the best option.
The Fleur de Lys is a whimsical hotel with old world charm. The staff is friendly and go out of their way to assist. I arrived Friday afternoon and was helped by the front desk agent. I forget his name but he was quite helpful. He showed me how to get to downtown area by map and then when I asked about making tour reservations after the tours dept was closed he called ...
Great, friendly staff, excellent breakfast, spotless room. Location was good for us - near what we were doing - but maybe not so convenient for people doing tourist stuff in San Jose. Quiet place - we will definitely stay again another time,
We have stayed here three times now, and absolutely love this place. We will not stay naywhere else in San Jose. No, it is not close to the airport, but it is worth it! The taxi ride is a quick one anywhay, and for a much better quality place to stay in San Jose, for a great price, this is the place. The architecture is amazing, the rooms are spotless, and the staff ar...
Good: Nice Size spacious good bed, good furniture room. nice and clean. Breakfast is ok. I was picked up by staff at airport. NO HOT Water in SHOWER, unless you are ok with it. Good clean toilet, big bathroom standing shower. Windows, Safe case. BAD" Staff does not speak English. At really worse location. I was only in the entire hotel on Sunday 5/30/16, Saturday 5/2...
Cheap places to stay in San Jose
A sweet family run this place and i felt very welcome there. I had a large room that was very clean and had good WIFI. There were plenty of bathrooms with new facilities and the hotel is very central and very safe. I'll definitely stay again when in San Jose.

Booked 3 nights here arriving on Thursday. Overall, the hotel is clean with very helpful staff , but very limited English. The breakfast very tasty with 5 selected choices. Located near downtown walking street 5 blocks away. Only downside is the hostel is located next to a rail line. On weekdays, the train rolls by starting early morning continues hourly and my be bo...
Don’t let the location put you off, an Uber into Escazu is $2.50, $10 to the airport & Uber Eats will deliver to the door. We had the family room & as no one else was in the other rooms, we had the whole place to ourselves. Big kitchen, large dining area & huge lounge area with leather sofas & a wrap around balcony with incredible views of San Jose. Staff guy is friend...
It is a small simple hotel very close to the main pedestrian street and across from the National Museum. This is a perfect place to travelers who are travelling on budget, but still want a secure place to stay near the center. The front door is always closed so no stranger can enter. The lady who owns this place is super nice and helpful. For breakfast you will get dip...

hotel casa leon located in central San Jose. that hotel was clean and staff was very kindness and helpful.

You cannot ask for a five stars comfort when you stay in a low price hotel. The beds are not really good, but they do the job. And don't forget to bring your own shampoo because you won't have any there!
I respect Ester for running her operation all by herself, it's a lot of work, she's also a nice woman. She was very helpful to me when I needed something done I couldn't do myself. Her house is large and well kept. Very good location if you need access to Escazu. Very modern small city with all amenities. Good value for the money.
This place is a gem. All apartments front into a beautiful courtyard filled with attractive plants, birds and fountain. The rooms are huge and have kitchen appliances and implements so that you can prepare your own food. Modern, clean and artistically decorated. Excellent location opposite jade Museum. Very helpful and friendly staff. English spoken too. Thank you. ...

Good hotel providing open buffet breakfast, near the town,quiet place.

This hotel is centrally located , noisy day and night specially in Friday - Sunday , staff are wonderful , rooms are neat and clean , quite windy , view is fantastic , everything that one might need is just round the corner
Great value for your money, breakfast was awesome
Nice clean hotel. Place is about 15 mins from the main bit of town. Staff are kind and will arrange cabs etc. Hotel is good value for Costa Rica and feels personal with lots of open space. Breakfasts are amazing and not to be missed.
The hotel had a special smell, towels were really dirty, they use dark colour towels. I had to go to the reception and asked for a clean towels.

Staff was very friendly, and the Hotel itself was quite nice.
The food was absolutely terrible, one of the worst restaurants I've been in CR, and I've been to plenty. 8000 colones for a "casado" that was mediocre, when you can pay 3000 in a small restaurant anywhere and get much better quality. The bathroom smelt of urine, and the room was not well cleaned. I am not coming back, that's for sure.
In our trip through Costa Rica, my dad and I repeated the place because we like it lots! the staff, the cleanliness, the facilities, the breakfast (included), the swimming pool area.... I would go again, thank you!
Great - everyone was very helpful. The breakfast let the hotel down a bit but was okay considering good price of rooms. Fantastic Argentinian Restaurant opposite - you have to book in advance!
Quiet location but the buildings, sheets etc. showing wear
had a great stay... Would return there if I were to travel to San Jose in the future. The hotel staff was very accommodating with changes in our arrival time. It seemed like a busy place with a nice buzz.
Perfect!

Hotel Suites Cristina is a lovely boutique hotel in a safe area. The room I had was clean and comfortable. The included breakfast buffet is tasty and the hotel staff are friendly and professional. -- Unfortunately, however, the free transfer from San Jose Airport was a bit of a hoax. I ended up having to take a taxi to the hotel, which was a bit of a hassle.
11 of 10. THIS PALACE WAS OUTSTANDING. I AM FROM ALBERTA CANADA. GO THERE TO BELIEVETH-HEAVEN ON EARTH-AMEN (THEY SAY THIS WAS A HOTEL, MORE LIKE A PALACE FOR THE PRIVILEGED, EVEN SENIOR CITIZENS).
Our room was spacious - no , huge. comfortable, the staff beyond helpful and kind, and best of all, I LOVE the terrace restaurant. Will SO stay there next time in San Jose.
