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.

very cozy place. the interior feels almost maze-like with little courtyards full of tropical plants and odd-but-charming decor. room was nice aside from not having a proper reading lamp. the breakfast buffet was one of the best I've ever had, at any hotel – lots of things to choose from both local cr foods and the usual toast etc. the little restaurant next door also had some good dinner options.

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.

We stayed here both on.our way in and way out of San Jose. We arrived on a very late flight but this wasn't a problem. The staff were very friendly. Breakfast was great. It's a short walk (10-15 mins) to the central market, shops and restaurants. We were warned not to walk around at night, but it didn't feel too bad and I expect this is the case for most of San Jose.. The hotel can order you in.pizza. The rooms are basic but clean and perfectly adequate for a short stay. The hotel has some nice decor and a garden area.

The only proper modern hotel in our stay in Costa Rica, modelled on the Western standards. Large room with a huge bed, table, chest of drawers, closet with iron and board, spacious bathroom with a powerfull shower - all in a good state. The buffet style breakfast was varied and tasty. Central pool looked big - although we didn't use it. There's an area with several restaurans nearby and hotel provides free shuttles to the aiport which was handy.
