San Jose hotels & places to stay

Friendly helpful staff, great location. Easy walk to museums and surrounded by tons of great restaurants and bars.

The hostel is cheap and has everything you need

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...

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...

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!!!!!

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...

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...

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

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.

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. ...

It was a fantastic, accepting hotel. My adult daughter and I found the staff very helpful and kind. The many lounging areas, pool and hot tub were comfortable and user friendly. Not far from the airport. A must stay for a unique introduction to Costa Rica.

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 ...

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I must say if any one knows that meaning of Hospitality it is the manger here. Don Diego as I learned he was named, was one of the most helpful people I have ever come in contact with. He was more than willing to make tons of calls to find us a ride to Manuel Antonio Beach. After we figured this mess out we found very little internet access in our room, only to be give...

Quiet location but the buildings, sheets etc. showing wear

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!
