For us this is the ideal combination to get adjusted to the time difference, have the restaurant Raw&Co Irgun 100m walk and a shopping mall Multi plaza within a 25 min walk.

    Vibrant busy city with lots of interesting things to see and do. Name a brand and you can find it in the stores although it may be a bit on the pricey side. The one thing that struck us almost immediately was how clean things are, and the people are warm, welcoming and patient with us folks who can barely speak Spanish.

    Excellent port of entry to visit lots of Costa Rican gems!

    Excellent port of entry to visit lots of Costa Rican gems! Whether you are looking for adventure or chill beach vibes, this is the place with lots of access to tours from the city. And the city itself has a very robust historical, art and cultural experiences. Would recommend. Predominantly Spanish speaking, but lots of nationals will speak some English! So language barrier isn't a huge concern.

    We spent the first and last night of our trip to Costa Rica in San José, but in retrospect, that was one night too many. Due to the traffic chaos, it simply takes too long to get to the hotels in San José, so you lose the desire to really explore the city.

    San Jose is a patchwork of beautiful sites amidst a chaotic mess of traffic-riddled highways. We didn't really stay long enough to give it an accurate review, but our short stay was not encouraging. We spent most of our time in Costa Rica on the Pacific Coast, which was quite pleasant.

    In general the city hasn't much to it - the best part is getting out on tours to see some nature! Traffic is also terrible at peak times, sometimes tripling the time is takes to get somewhere. Overall I had an enjoyable experience, but was reliant on tours, organised activities, extensive research on restaurants and Uber to get around.

    A very nice hotel in San José center. For my first night in Costa rica it was perfect. The room is very clean, the shared kitchen was very clean. The man who welcomed me was very helpful and polite. The bar café close is very nice too . I recommend to go there to have a drink or to have lunch and dinner. I recommend to take the transportation of the hotel from the airport...it is less expensive than official taxi. Don t Trust the official taxi in San José airport, they wanted 100 dollars....to be safe , book with the hotel...

    The room was spacious for just one person, everything very clean. the breakfast was lovely and the area where you go to eat is really nicely decorated and has lovely interior. the staff were very kind and friendly. I mostly used this as a place to stay whilst recovering jet lag and before heading to elsewhere in Costa Rica but the area was the only nice and safe area in San Jose with lots of cool bars & restaurants.

    This hotel was our first stop in Costa Rica. It's a little gem on the outskirts on San Jose, perfect to start your Costa Rican trip. The rooms are spacious and clean, breakfast is served by the cutest lady. We didn't use the pool but that's were breakfast is served and they view was great!
