Costa Rica Guesthouse

"I stayed in a 4-bedroom dorm, great space, several guest houses and accommodation combined. I could use the pool and the restaurant of the backpackers next door. Check in smooth, easy, friendly staff, coffee for free. I picked the location as it was central yet not right downtown. Great Irish bar around the corner. The only thing you need to be aware of is the nearby train tracks. The train signals when passing, yet none passed at night, so all good."

Fleur de Lys

"I unexpectedly liked the hotel's decor. Although the room didn't have air conditioning, it did have a fan, so San Jose wasn't hot at all in the evening. The room wasn't large, but it had everything you needed. While bottled water wasn't free, there was a coffee machine to make complimentary coffee. Rooms on the second floor required climbing stairs. Breakfast was simple and delicious, including bread, eggs, rice, fruit, coffee, tea, and hot milk."

Jungla Urbana, Bnb

"The staff were very friendly and welcoming. There is a Mexican restaurant and supermarket nearby. The room is clean and comfortable. Great value for the price."

Radisson San Jose Costa Rica

"An old hotel with high ceiling and spacious room. The included breakfast is better than I expected, there are a few hot dishes. Not much around the hotel."

Viajero San José Hostel

"Since I couldn't get on the plane at Hong Kong Airport and the airline refused to let me fly (there is evidence to prove it), I contacted the hotel to check out in time. The hotel customer service said at first that it was OK, check out! Later, I contacted the hotel again, but they didn't reply to my message, kept making excuses, and kept saying it was pending. As of now, 6 days have passed, and the hotel customer service has not replied to any message."

Gran Hotel Costa Rica, Curio Collection by Hilton

"I honestly wish I can give this horrible hotel less than 1* because I’ve never stayed at a hotel with worst customer service than this disgusting hotel. I paid around $550 for 3 night and even toothbrush and toothpaste weren’t provided when I asked for it. I was told that they didn’t have it. No slipper or bathroom were in the room. The light switches were awkward and hard to figure out. The safe wasn’t working and when I called the reception, whoever answered the phone hung up the phone on me. They made me feel bad arguing with them on another occasion when they wanted to charge me for a having a visitor in my room. They copied the visitor ID and had the visitor sign a couple of form. A disgusting person name Jorge at the reception desk was the meanest I’ve ever seen at any hotel and I’ve been to hundreds of them. After arguing with him in front of the guest that the guest is not there to spend the night, he embarrassed me and said that “you will be charged next time if you have another visitor”. The breakfast was that of 1* star hotel. It was awful and even things as simple and basic as cheese didn’t have it. This hotel didn’t make me feel appreciated or welcomed. I felt under constant surveillance and that’s not right. Look at they supply in the bathroom for over $175 a night! Never seen anything like that anywhere else. I highly DO NOT recommend it."

Bee Suites San Jose - Escalante

"We were very satisfied with our stay. The room and rooftop view were wonderful. We were traveling by rental car, so the free parking was very helpful. The room was generally stylish and very clean. It might be better if they added a kettle to the kitchenware. We booked two rooms, but one of them smelled of cigarettes when we entered, but they offered us an alternative room when we contacted them. I recommend it. Thank you."

Hilton Garden Inn San Jose la Sabana

"Just a perfect place to stay in San José. With a Taxi you are in 5 minutes in the city center and the nice park is one step away from the hotel. With a free parking, pool, gym, … provide the hotel useful amenities. The stuff is very friendly and helpful."
