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 explainCosminRomania - 8.0Scored 8.0
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 £25.75 per night8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 1,116 reviewsSpent one night in San Jose as my flight arrived in the evening. The hotel is located downtown and was a short walk from the bus station upon arrival and back to get a bus to my destination in the morning. The room reasonably priced, clean and the street noise wasn't too bad (no issues sleeping) given that it is located in the centre of a major city. I'll stay again if I ever need to spend a night in San Jose.KoreyCanada
- From £111 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very goodRated very good· 695 reviewsLovely modern facade and reception area. Room and bed were both large and comfortable and the room was very clean. I would definitely recommend the rooftop restaurant at the hotel - San Jose is not easy to navigate at night so we ended up eating there both nights and appreciated having a place with good food that we could rely on (it also has a great view)! The location was very central.ElizabethUnited Kingdom
- 9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 2,029 reviewsAuthentic small hotel promoting sustainability. Local produce prepared and cooked by local people. Clean crisp bedding on comfortable beds and easy to work hot shower. Room is Costa Rican in character with plenty of storage space if staying a few days. Sadly we were just passing thru after arriving in San Jose. Reception staff were lovely as well. Would have liked to have stayed longer.

The morning buffet breakfast was one of the best I’ve had and i typically stay at 5star resorts worldwide. The pool and grounds are wonderful and beautifully maintained.
