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.

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.

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.

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.

There is plenty to do in San Jose and the surrounding area.
There is plenty to do in San Jose and the surrounding area. Three places to recommend: the Jade Museum, the Post Office Museum and Lankester Botanical Garden on the road to Paraiso. The Jade Museum is a revelation - it is in a new building and has a wonderful exhibition about the Pre-Colombian inhabitants of Central America. Don't be put off by its title - it is not a museum of dusty cabinets full of jade objects. Just to the right of the entrance to the Central Post Office is a museum with displays of various themes - space, calypso, biodiversity - illustrated with stamps from all over the world. The Lankester Gardens is a gem. It's a centre for the study of orchids so visit at the right time of year, e.g. March, when many are in flower. The gardens are beautifully laid out and very well cared for.
This was the only good part of our trip. Marvin and Helen were the best hosts one could wish for. The hotel is a gem. The panoramic views from the common area at night were spectacular. The covered balconies are great when it rains. It wasn't a touristy luxurious place, but we really felt at home. We met local Costa Ricans, other Americans and made some good memories right there at the Hotel (were we were stuck our entire 12 day vacation, due to booking our rental car from booking.com and not getting it, or getting any help).
Absolutely amazing staff! Especially Veronica and Jorge (and one other young woman whose name I forget!) who went above and beyond to help us book things and get where we needed - we were so impressed with them we changed our booking on return to San Jose to stay with them again!
Nice hotel feel with a little plant garden area, definitely get the upgraded room as there is more light and the rooms are more spacious.
Comfortable beds, good breakfast.
This place changed our whole holiday because of how good the staff were!
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.
Lovely 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.
The location for visiting the museums in San Jose is excellent. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel is modern and clean, and our room was furnished very nicely. The bed was comfortable and the linens were of very good quality. Some reviewers complained of noise from other rooms, but we could not hear our neighbors. The rooftop sitting area is beautiful.
The staff is wonderful and very helpful. Breakfast was very good (bread, jams, juice, fruit, and eggs with a slice of tomato) and plentiful. The location is great for exploring downtown San Jose, walking distance to almost everything. The owner even arranges affordable transportation to/from the airport.
It's in downtown San Jose so it's close to great food and transportation. The staff went over and beyond to help me so much I booked 2 more nights. Across the street from the jade museum, this oasis always had a soft breeze blowing in with beautiful plants hanging around. Comfortable beds with hot water!!
By far the best hotel experience in Costa Rica. As a local that looks for getaway places to avoid the routine, I keep coming back to this place. Incredible value for price, amazing staff, the art and ambiance of the hotel is unparalleled, and the location is very convenient even if it isn't downtown.
Cute hotel in a heritage building just outside the central district of San Jose. Super friendly and helpful staff, comfortable rooms, great location. The cafe/breakfast area is beautiful and there is a fantastic restaurant attached to the hotel. Great option for a night or two in San Jose!
Spotlessly clean in all areas. Twin double beds. Locally there are two shopping centres with wide range of eateries. Breakfast was good - buffet style Costa Rican. The staff were helpful with trying to call other locations where we may have left something. Great transit hotel
The place is well disposed for solo traveler: locker, box to store items in the bed, bathroom to hang your clothes and items, … Clean and facility on top. There is also a nice rooftop space.
Also the neighborhood seems much better than the rest of downtown San Jose.
Loved this hotel. Stayed here before and as good as I remembered. The room is very large, clean and comfortable with an amazing bed.
The bar and restaurant are both great with very helpful staff.
Not far from down town San Jose . Parking
Decent pool area
Hotel is very new. Very well located. In front of a park
New moder. People is very friendly like in all Costa Rica experience we had. Good also for business
Room is clean and modern
Great place to stay in San Jose
Located right in the middle of downtown San Jose, the guy at the front desk was great, and it was extremely cheap. Also had a balcony overlooking the streets. The breakfast was also surprisingly good.
this was our first hotel after arriving to Costa Rica. The room was fine and clean and it had a locked parking space, which is quite important in San Jose. Walking distance to the downtown.
cozy hotel in the centre of San Jose
owner was super nice and helpful
room clean and with a safe

The location is great. Close to the Sabana park. It is a peaceful place. Not far from downtown San José. There ia very nice pool and the best japonese restaurant in town.
