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. 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.

We were in San Jose for 2 days; meeting a group coming in from the USA to walk The Camino de Costa Rica so met our outfitter and guide. We visited the Jade Museum and would have gone to the Gold Museum if we had time. We did a long walk in the city to visit a famous hotel ( Grano de Oro). It's a busy city during the day and we were warned not to walk alone at night.

- From $131.19 per night8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 1,853 reviewsAll meals I had at the hotel were great, but I do have to give a shoutout to their breakfast because it was awesome! The Staff was super friendly and diligent with any need we had. It is also worth to mention that the art around the hotel gives it a very special touch. The location was very convenient since it is close to most urban areas of San Jose (even urban areas in Heredia and Alajuela) and it was surrounded with several shopping centers and plazas with restaurants, pharmacies, convenience stores, etc.
MarcoPanama - From $90 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 3,534 reviewsLoved the central location to San Jose, the beautiful gardens surrounding the hotel and amazing views of the city from the pool area. The hammocks were delightful way to spend a lazy afternoon. The rooms were beautifully appointed, food was tasty and I truly appreciated the free shuttle to and from the airport. I enjoyed staying there and highly recommend a stay however, be aware there are always people in the entrance due to tour company travelers.
SusanUnited States of America - From $212.44 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 1,258 reviewsRooms were plenty spacious and you could not ask for a more central location. We were only in San Jose for a day but we were able to walk to see everything. Also the breakfast was UNREAL - so good and so many options. We also had a drink at their bar after are long flight. The staff was very welcoming and nice. It’s was a great start to our Costa Rica trip and even though we were there for only one night, the hotel left a really welcoming impression.
NicoleUnited States of America - From $56.50 per night8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 1,609 reviewsGreat little property close to downtown - easy access to public transportation. The owners of the property made us feel very welcome - the rooms are small but have all the essentials that you need for a stay in San Jose - very comfortable beds, well appointed bathroom and the in room safe. A delicious breakfast was also included in the room rate - with the option to purchase more if you so desire - but bread, jam and poached eggs were great.MartinUnited States of America
- From $67.80 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
- From $90 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 3,534 reviewsA good four star hotel with everything you expect. We stayed here before and the standard rooms are spacious and well appointed. This time, we were bumped to a suite which was very comfortable. The lounge area is big and comfortable. The bar is good with meals at reasonable prices. The garden and pool area is very pretty. It's a little way out of the centre of San Jose, but very convenient for the airport, with a free bookable shuttle.

In this hotel we had the best breakfast of all our stays in Costa Rica. Staff is very helpfull, i asked if they had an iron and they gave me one straight away.

- From $79.10 per night8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 958 reviewswe booked the hotel at the start and end of our travels and for that, it was perfect. It gave us a good opportunity to just arrive in Costa Rica and organize ourselves. The breakfast was really good and the first room we had very comfortable. Even though it is near San jose and in a city, it is a little bit secluded and has nature surrounding it.
