I’ve visited San Jose Costa Rica many times since the 1970s.
I’ve visited San Jose Costa Rica many times since the 1970s. It’s gotten completely jammed with traffic, but it is a beautiful city with lots to see and admire. My favorite is the old concert hall, which I’m blanking on the name, but it is the only concert hall I believe in the city. Being a city it’s always important to watch your pockets, and this is become a problem, the last couple decades. The people in general are very charming and it is definitely worth a visit.KentUnited States - 8.0Scored 8.0

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 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.

- From € 127.03 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 3,022 reviewsNice Hotel option with clean rooms and close to everything in San Jose. The Front Desk staff is very attentive Jose, Gabriela, and Eglys were just fantastic. Excellent communication skills spoke Spanish and English. Breakfast in the morning was a great value, I liked the local Gallo Pinto option and Jenny is amazing! Overall, everyone is incredibly generous and helpful with their time and "advice". On my next trip, I'll be returning to this hotel. Thanks for making my first trip to Costa Rica a memorable experience.!!!KennethUnited States

- 9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 2,039 reviewsThe property is beautiful! Tucked away off the main road, but still close to downtown and the central market. The staff here are fabulous, very helpful. Our rooms (we stayed twice) were perfect, very spacious and comfortable for a group of 4. The pool is wonderful, the food is delicious (try the Refresher smoothie! SO GOOD) and they have a sauna on site. 10/10, would highly recommend staying with La Sábana in San Jose, Costa Rica!CourtneyUnited States

The staff is the sweetest and most attentive I've ever experienced in a hotel. The rooms were spacious and cleaned daily and the breakfast was simply amazing. I highly recommend this place to anyone.
