San jose as a city is not something wow aside for some natural parks there is not much to see. But there are a lot of places outside san jose that are beautiful cause costa rica is a country with so much green that i can t even explain

I didn’t really like anything.
I didn’t really like anything. The front desk made me carry my bag up 4 flights of stairs. The room was so hot when I got inside. There was no coffee in the rooms at all and I asked multiple time for it. The shower was also clogged.KellyUnited States - 6.0Scored 6.0
San Jose as city is not too much to believe as other cities...
San Jose as city is not too much to believe as other cities and is a crowded city We stayed at the outside skirts of San Jose where you have more nature, mountains/scenery and less city life and visited the city several times.
BjornCuraçao - 6.0Scored 6.0
If you like a big city, San Jose is great.
If you like a big city, San Jose is great. We live in southern Costa Rica and only go to San Jose for doctor visits and shopping. It's best to take a taxi or Uber in San Jose. The traffic is crazy. Be sure to use the WAZE app instead of Google for driving around. It stays more up to date.GaryCosta Rica - 10Scored 10
I did a tour for the first two weeks of the volcano area,...
I did a tour for the first two weeks of the volcano area, rain forest, Caribbean, and then the Pacific side of the island. During the tour, we also ziplined, rode horseback, white water rafting, soaked in hot springs, and hiked the rain forest and volcano areas. When the tour ended I stayed for another 10 days in downtown San Jose and did day trips out of the apartment. People are family-oriented, friendly, and supportive. You can drink the water and use US electric devices. Go, you will love it.

We stayed here on our last night but wished we hadn't.
We stayed here on our last night but wished we hadn't. The hotel was good but there was nothing special about the city and we would have preferred to be back in Alajuela where we stayed on the first night. There was much less traffic there and lots of different birds in the trees. The park in San Jose only had grackles.

- From ISK 14,758 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 2,218 reviewsMost likely the best value in San Jose. It’s a motel that is run like a 4 star hotel. The staff really are top notch and you get a made to order breakfast every day. Good place for business, solo travelers, as well as groups. Super location and the casino is on the same lot so you have gambling and dinner right there at the place. Probably my favorite place to stay in the downtown area of San Jose. Gym is small but you can get a good workout and the equipment is in decent shape. No super annoying Covid rules.
SeanVietnam - From ISK 18,132 per night8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 1,857 reviewsThe property was nice and was very clean and comfortable. The hotel is very far from the center of San Jose. A lot of tour companies use this hotel as the starting point to their tours of Costa Rica. If you want to be in San Jose which is very nice to visit do not stay here. It is far from the airport and anything that San Jose has to offer. It will cost you an expensive taxi or Uber ride to get to San Jose and back to the hotel. The food was so so and expensive. It is better to go out of the hotel to eat.MaryUnited States
- 5.5Scored 5.5AverageRated passable· 368 reviews"Hotel" Coto is the brothel used by local prostitutes .I did not know that at the time of booking. Every time I am in San Jose , Costa Rica I stay in Hotel El Maragato , but they been totally booked at the time of booking. The price was 58 US dollars I paid 60 and they wanted 2 dollars more ., that in colones would over 1..160 colones. Why three women yelling and screaming took from me over 6 thousand colones I really do not know. Place has 90 procent bad reviews.
PeterUnited States - From ISK 18,132 per night8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 1,857 reviewsI stayed at Studio Hotel Boutique as a stopover in San Jose before travelling around Costa Rica. The hotel was very nice and staff were incredibly friendly/ supportive in answering questions and booking additional travel for us. I used the hotel's gym and had a great breakfast. The hotel is more luxurious than it even looks in the pictures and a friendly concierge recommended a local restaurant for us to have our first typical Costa Rican dish of the trip!JulianUnited Kingdom

Location was good for us - fairly close to the airport and only a 15-minute taxi ride to the centre of San Jose. Pool and pool area were very nice, spacious and not crowded.

We enjoyed the spa every night and my kid loved the pool. Booked 3 nights but stayed an extra one. Loved seeing the sights of San Jose but hanging around the hotel was also very relaxing. Good breakfasts as well! Would stay if I ever find myself in San Jose again. Rooms were comfortable.

- From ISK 16,086 per night8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 844 reviewsFriendly staff. Nice and clean. Not too far from the airport or downtown. Also liked the sitting room area because it's nice to have when you want to be outside of the hotel room and outdoors but you're on a busy Pavas road. It provides a sanctuary of sorts so I can see why it's called Isla Verde. Beautifully decorated restaurant.NAKIAUnited States

Super private, almost too private (as a solo female I feel safer when I can hear others around and I really didn't). But it was fabulous for the two days in San Jose. I walked to cafes and restaurants and downtown 15-30 minute walks.
