Great place! It’s located in a beautiful neighborhood called Among, and it’s also within walking distance from downtown, where you can visit the National Theatre and the main market with typical local food. Dani and Karen gave me amazing service—Karen welcomed me with a big smile, and Dani joined us at the bar to play beer pong. I highly recommend it and I’ll definitely come back. By the way, if you’re looking for a massage, look for Oscar—he’s the best and will relieve all your stress.

The hotel saved me after booking.com had lost my reservation in another hotel. My room didn't have windows but during my stay, I used to leave for trips early in the morning and return back in the evening. Actually, the absence of windows made it a very quiet room. The staff was very friendly, helpful and professional.

Great location, walking distance to most places. The staff is very kind and provided helpful infos. The breakfast is tasty, but if it was needed to leave earlier then breakfast starts, then there was an option to have a sandwich to go. They manage transfer to airport too on affordable price.

Vibrant busy city with lots of interesting things to see and do. Name a brand and you can find it in the stores although it may be a bit on the pricey side. The one thing that struck us almost immediately was how clean things are, and the people are warm, welcoming and patient with us folks who can barely speak Spanish.

Excellent port of entry to visit lots of Costa Rican gems!

Excellent port of entry to visit lots of Costa Rican gems! Whether you are looking for adventure or chill beach vibes, this is the place with lots of access to tours from the city. And the city itself has a very robust historical, art and cultural experiences. Would recommend. Predominantly Spanish speaking, but lots of nationals will speak some English! So language barrier isn't a huge concern.

We spent the first and last night of our trip to Costa Rica in San José, but in retrospect, that was one night too many. Due to the traffic chaos, it simply takes too long to get to the hotels in San José, so you lose the desire to really explore the city.

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.

As much as we like the hotel we we're impressed with the city It was dirty, sad and unpleasant city while la fortuna is exact opposite I hope they work in San Jose and improve the city. It really could attack people if this city will clean up with some good parks and development Good luck

Felt great, coming back to our favorite San Jose hotel, the room was even nicer than the one we had last time, and the super friendly staff remembered us, when we showed up. We can only recommend that place, whether you are passing through or staying some time in San Jose, as it is in a nice and interesting area close to University of Costa Rica.
