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.

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.

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.
Probably 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!
Rooms 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.
A 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.
The location is great – in a quiet residential area, but within walking distance to lots of lovely bars and restaurants and also into downtown San Jose.
All the facilities within the apartment, with spotlessly, clean, modern and comfortable.
The front desk staff were helpful and friendly and the extra amenities, such as the laundry and rooftop hot tub were brilliant! we would definitely stay again.
The hotel was what you would expect from a Hilton hotel - friendly, efficient staff, good facilities, comfortable bed. Location was good for us - fairly close to the airport and only a 15-minute taxi ride to the centre of San Jose. Pool and pool area were very nice, spacious and not crowded. Buffet breakfast was excellent, so many options, wish we'd had more than one opportunity to sample it!
Loved this place. Near all museums yet off the main roads. So many outdoor sitting areas for relaxation. We enjoyed the spa every night and my kid loved the pool. Booked 3 nights but stayed an extra one. Loved seeing the sights of San Jose but hanging around the hotel was also very relaxing. Good breakfasts as well! Would stay if I ever find myself in San Jose again. Rooms were comfortable.
Great location in Barrio Escalante, the Hipster district of San Jose with many great restaurants and a farmers Market on Saturdays basically next door. The hotel was decorated beautifully with traditional Costa Rican masks and the rooms were clean and spacy. The breakfast was exceptional with Omelettes freshly made and fresh fruit, even pancakes with different toppings. Wow!!!
we 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.
¡Wow! YES! Every Day & All Day. Casa De~Leo. "HOTEL del Paseo" .5th Floor Penthouse with a view. The rooms are very clean and the staff BEYOND accomodating. One of the best places I have stayed, in Costa Rica....Coming or going ..You will be safe and all of your needs met here. A true Gem in San Jose/ Costa Rica. Pura Vida!
The hostel is located in a central area of San José. It a villa from the '50-'60 converted into a hostel with private and dorms.
The rooms and the common areas are suggestive, and you can still see the former use as a private house.
Bathrooms and rooms are not modern, but that is the charm of this hotel.
Not far from the airport, seems a quiet area but as it was Sunday I can't confirm.
Big room, comfortable beds, big bathroom, very good standard.
Big breakfast buffet (now after some days traveling in Costa Rica 4 stars hotels I can confirm it was one of the best!)
Helpful staff.
Nice location in one of the prettiest neighborhoods in San Jose, within easy walking distance of the downtown area, the Teatro Nacional and the other sites to see. The rooms were clean enough and the breakfast area was pretty neat, with lots of plants growing indoors.
Great Hotel with super prices! I stayed there a few nights...Payed the same I sometimes do for hostel dorms but had a very good, clean private room. Location is 5 minutes walk from downtown area and the people are nice and helpful
What a gem of hotel in San Jose.
Good Food, Clean Room, generally clean premises and a good pool for a dip after a busy 10 days around costa rica. Only stayed 1 night but would be ideal for a short city break.
Very comfortable and pretty small boutique hotel. Staffs are very nice and welcome. Walking distance to downtown San Jose. Breakfast is very good with freshly made juice and coffee. Bread is warm baked.
Everything here exceeded any expectations I have of hotels in Costa Rica. The gallo pinto is the best I have had in the country so far. What a beautiful property in the heart of San Jose!
The hotel was only fifteen minutes from the airport and downtown area. Restaurant on the premises. Escazu shopping mall within walking distance. Enclosed pool and gym.
The hotel is close to the bus terminal, the area is a little run down but not the worst in San Jose. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The room was clean.
Old San José property but super quaint. Old open floor plan… outdoor courtyard… rooms a comfortable size… absolute great location for downtown… unbeatable price.
