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.Guest review byJuleneJamaica - 4.0

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.Guest review byRobertGermany - 6.0

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.Guest review byJoshuaUnited States - 8.0

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.Guest review byKarenIreland - 4.0

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 luckGuest review byMonirArgentina - 8.0
There is much to do and see here…very spread out.
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!Guest review byKimberlieUnited States

- From $169.50 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.6Excellent - What previous guests thought, 616 reviewsLiked it so much, i stayed at it at the beginning and end of trip to Costa Rica. Liked the mix of contempoary, tradtional and urban styles. Lots of ecletic furniture and decorative objects in the warehouse style reception area. Bedroom modern and simply sophisticated. Hotel situated in central area and good for visiting museums, theatre and churches. Lovely roof top terrace garden with bar and restaurant, had great meal and cocktail. Good breakfast buffet selectionGuest review byMoiraUnited Kingdom
- From $176.17 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.5Very Good - What previous guests thought, 508 reviewsSecond stay here - perfect for a night (or more) when getting into Costa Rica and having an early transfer the next day. The pool area is gorgeous, staff are great and a lot of the shuttles pick up directly from here. Near lots of good restaurants if you want a change from the hotel one. Comfy beds, take away brekkie. Can't complain!Guest review byCharlotte PinkUnited Kingdom
