very uniquely designed and very tastefully too. So much greenery inside the hotel which is beautiful. Breakfast was impeccable but didn’t get to try lunch or dinner due to short stay.

    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.

    As much as we like the hotel we we're impressed with the city It was dirty, sad and unpleasant city while la fortuna is exact opposite I hope they work in San Jose and improve the city. It really could attack people if this city will clean up with some good parks and development Good luck

    Great location, very clean spacious bedroom. There is also balcony to enjoy outdoor and downstairs living area. I stayed one night when I arrived San Jose. The owner kindly store my heavy suitcase for two week while I was exploring other part of the Costa Rica with a small backpack. I returned to stay here for another night before my flight to Europe. There is a plenty restaurants and big supermarket near by, walking distance to bus terminal and town centre.

    Second stay here - perfect for a night (or more) when getting into Costa Rica and having an early transfer the next day. The pool area is gorgeous, staff are great and a lot of the shuttles pick up directly from here. Near lots of good restaurants if you want a change from the hotel one. Comfy beds, take away brekkie. Can't complain!

    Very nice and clean apartment, small and compact, but comfortable, functional and safe. Far from the center, but that was fine for us, we spent only one night there, in San Jose, before continuing on to other locations in Costa Rica.
