Find Hotels in San Jose, Costa Rica

This hostel was incredible, I wish I would have stayed here the whole time I was in San Jose. Each bed (which was super comfortable) cubby has it's own outlet and light and if you want privacy you can pull down the curtain at the foot of cubby! The community areas were spacious and clean, the wifi was strong, and the staff was really friendly and informative. I would 100% stay here again and will recommend it to anyone I know is going to San Jose!

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. Kind of noisy because you're by a main road in San Jose but you are staying in a city so it's to be expected! Wifi was pretty strong and I got it in my room as well which was awesome. Oh, and I even got a hot shower one of the mornings which was amazing!

It was a great hostel. The availablility of a restaurant, bar, internet with computers, pool, tv. room, reading room, etc. made it one of the best I have stayed in. I felt with the advice to not go out at night or take taxis which meant most people stayed in, it would have been nice for them to have fun activities or bar fun organized to help mingle with each other. I found more than any hostel I have been to around the world this one was difficult to mingle (almost everyone on computers or ipads, ipods, etc. This place has the opportunity to help others meet and greet one another but everyone seems to stay in their groups. Otherwise, the place was fantastic.

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 are so great, they are quickly becoming our friends. Whether you are a backpacker looking for a hostel, or a family looking to put everyone up (we took 8 people this last trip!) comfortabley, this is the place!

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 bothersome. Heard it once on Saturday and none on Sunday. I was prepared and had a good set of ear plugs

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 friendly & very helpful. Pool, jacuzzi & BBQ area...amazing value for money. If i was being picky, some more crockery, kitchenware & glasses in the kitchen & a tv in the lounge area would make it a 10.

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.

I chose the hotel because of its proximity to Caribe bus terminal...about a 5 minute walk from there...they allowed us to check in early (11am) which made things way more convenient for us...the room is pretty basic...not as nice as the pictures...but not dirty or anything either...it is a bit murky...free breakfast spread was pretty average but it was nice to have...it's about 5-10 min walk to central part of town, so the location is pretty good even though the surrounding area didn't look like the friendliest of neighborhoods...if you have a day layover in SJ, it's an adequate place to stay...

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 dipical costa rican breakfast: rice with beans, scrambled eggs and white bread. They also give you a bowl of fruits and a cup of coffe or tea. The only negative thing is that the hotel is next to the main street and a railway so it get very

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 stressed out, exhausted and annoyed as anyone can expect. After a good 10-15 minutes, I saw a man walking around, having a chat with several people, a piece of paper hanging upside down from his hand.I had to crane my neck in trying to read what’s on his paper.Long story short, it was my name.I waved several times but because he was busy socializing, he did not see me.I had to literally run after him and tell him it was me he was supposed to pick up.Rather than to apologize for not doing his job, he was more annoyed than I was.My first impression of Costa Rica was terrible because of this arrogant, rude, inefficient man.

If one arrives at the hotel by taxi from the Juan Santamaria International Airport, the fare should be about $30 USD. The hotel is located in an area of Barrio Amon with few pedestrians, and only a single one-way lane of road traffic on the avenues & roads. The hotel is built atrium-style, the interior open from the ground floor to the skylight located above the 2nd floor (two floors above the ground floor). Only a few of the rooms in the hotel's front (facing Avenida 11) have windows to the outside; rooms do have curtained windows next to the room doors, facing inwards. My room, located near one of the hotel's real corners, was quiet; there may be a problem with some road-traffic noise affecting rooms in the front facing Avenida 11. (The hotel does not have an elevator.) Cleanliness was never a problem, whether in my room or elsewhere in the hotel that I could observe. The staff, including the young gentlemen at the reception desk, where friendly, polite, & helpful. I also considered the rates for the laundry service to be reasonable, and the one or two taxi drivers sometimes stationed out front to be trustworthy. Although I did not lodge any complaints during my stay, there were a few things which could have been better (at least a couple are room-specific): my room door lacked the security chain; the TV remote did not function most of the time; the switch of the coffee maker seemed reluctant to stay in the "on" position; and I never could entice hot water from the sink tap (even though hot water was available for showering). And, for breakfast, I would have preferred real milk instead of the powdered cream for my coffee. But these were minor; my lasting memories of my stay will be of the hotel staff, including conversations with Abner Damian Leiva at reception on subjects ranging from hotel careers to Toronto. As for the hotel's neighborhood, one can walk east, south, & north in safety (I was not out after 9pm), but perhaps not due west much past Calle Cental.

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 the office to get information. This hotel is beautiful inside, I had the opportunity to peak inside some of the larger rooms. One had a jacuzzi tub. The hotel has lots of natural light because of the skylights above. It also unique because of the staircases. Each room is named of a flower. My room was cozy and had a terrace that overlooked downtown San Jose. There is no air conditoning in the hotel but the night air was comfortable. Saturday morning I was awakened by construction but this is of no fault of the hotel. Friday evening I sat on the patio listening to the permormance of a guitar player and singer. It was entertaining. Plus the drinks at the bar are cheap. I believe the margarita's were only 1500 colones each. If I am ever in San Jose I will stay at the Fleur De Lys.
