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.ElizabethUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
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.

Great city.
Great city. Nice and friendly people with plenty of places to visit, especially their natural parks. Food is good, and the water is safe to drink in the city. Although the locals warned me to be cautious but I felt safe.

- From $212.44 per night8.8Scored 8.8ExcellentRated excellent· 385 reviewsProbably one of the most wonderful hotel experiences I have ever had. Beautiful architecture and decor, mountain views, and excellent service from the staff. Everything was over the top. They offer an incredible breakfast spread (with many, many juices). Pool/bar area is very luxurious. Adjacent to several shops, a spa, grocery, food truck court (very nice, with a large, collaborative patio area, and restaurants. Also very close to the San Jose airport. We will return to this magnificent hotel again!
LindaUnited States of America - From $27 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 2,255 reviewsgood value for San José /Costa Rica during high season. Basic accommodation amenities , a bar of soap and towel per person. We stayed 3 different times in transit between San José to different areas of the country - ie Manuel Antonio, guanacaste, Caribbean . Each time a different room . The upper floors are prettier with old world feel and wooden floors , The reception staff are young friendly and helpful . The hotel could do with a maintenance refresh as it’s got some great historic feeling about it .

- From $76.84 per night8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 370 reviewsI had to do a very late check in, there is no official front desk, so the guy waited until almost 11 for us. We were there for 2 days and the second night I accidentally broke the key in the door. So the guy had to get up and open it for us every time without complaint. I used to live in San Jose and the location is great because it's downtown, but not in the "gross"part of downtown. It is very quiet, very clean and overall a great expirence.JeremyUnited States of America
