Hotels near XXXXXX, San Jose

I stayed at Hilton Garden Inn San José La Sabana for a few nights and had a very comfortable experience. The hotel is modern, clean, and quiet, with well-designed rooms and a comfortable bed. The area around La Sabana feels safe and calm, which is a plus. Staff were attentive and efficient during check-in and throughout my stay. Breakfast was solid and met expectations. Overall, it’s a reliable choice with good standards, especially for business travelers or short stays.

Good spot for a quick overnight stay. Rooms have basic necessities. Currently renovating so keep that in mind. But great host.

Fantastic hotel, looks different. It is traditional design with beautiful drawings. Good wine in the bar.

Parque del Lago Boutique Hotel is a well-equipped hotel in a great location, making it a convenient base for exploring San José. The staff were professional, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. The rooms and facilities are well maintained and offer everything needed for a comfortable visit. The only area that could be improved is the breakfast buffet, which was somewhat average and lacked the warmth and character that the rest of the hotel provides. Overall, a pleasant stay with good value and an excellent location.

I booked this hotel for the night prior to departing to the airport. I was shocked how beautiful this hotel is and wished I knew earlier. Service and friendliness of the staff was excellent, food at the Japanese restaurant was pretty good too. Shuttle to airport was convenient, definitely would stay here again when in Costa Rica. Nice area but a car would be best to get around San Jose.

Undiscovered gem of a hotel near San Pedro. Pros: We were looking for a place on the lower end of the price spectrum that was a one night romantic getaway for two, that I could also use my free trip coins at toward the cost of the room. Preferably including breakfast and a swimming pool with jacuzzi 😉 Not much to ask! We booked one of the cheaper rooms on the ground floor. Before check in we took an Uber to San Pedro mall to do some essential shopping and see a movie. Then we checked in and I relaxed in the jacuzzi under the San José night sky while my husband enjoyed a full workout in the gym/weights room. TV with cable was great for my husband who enjoyed the football while I enjoyed the hot shower and relaxed in the bed afterwards. We had an amazingly comfortable sleep and a delicious breakfast in the morning of gallo pinto, fresh tropical fruits, freshly squeezed watermelon juice and hot coffee. A generous check out time of 12pm meant we had more than enough time to get our things together and leave when it suited. Cons: Not many cons at this price point and value. The guy at the desk was a bit weird when we asked him for a second glass for water as there was only one in the room but not a big deal. We also had to ask him for the TV remote. The towels were a bit small like a mini dress on me after my shower. But good quality (with a third extra towel for the jacuzzi) and high quality bed linen. It also is in a slightly rough looking neighborhood but this is not a problem if you travel to and from the hotel by Uber or use a hire car (which you can park privately inside the property). Overall impression: The other photos on trip.com and similar booking sites do not do this hotel justice - it looks far better in person. It has real character since it is a restored historic hotel from an era bygone, but that is why everything is such high quality from the bed linen to the floor tiles. Everything is also in good shape and freshly painted. There a little hidden nooks around the hotel that make it very charming. The breakfast area is lovely and the jacuzzi, pool and water slide were a real highlight. We WILL be back.

Check in was great. Status was recgnised and we were given a room upgrade. Hotel is located on the corner of Sabana Park and just 35 mins walk to town of a quicker uber. Its safe to walk in the evening to the nearby 3 restaurants and the supermarket across the road. Pool is large and spotless but a bit chilly this time of year. Breakfast is a highlight with great egg station and fruit/yoghurt station. Gym is big and open 24hrs. Definitely recommend staying here as its one of the safest hotels and safest locations in town. Great mountain views too.

I liked the toilet the most, it was really pretty . And the common area was gorgeous also

🌟 5-Star Review for Hostel Casa Colón, San José I had a fantastic stay at Hostel Casa Colón — it exceeded my expectations in every way. The location is incredibly convenient, especially if you’re heading to or from the airport or bus terminals. The staff were welcoming and helpful, offering great local tips. My room was clean, secure, and surprisingly quiet despite being in the city. The common areas are stylish and spacious, with a cozy on-site restaurant that serves excellent breakfast and coffee. It truly felt more like a boutique guesthouse than a typical hostel. Highly recommend for solo travelers, couples, or anyone looking for comfort and value in San José.

I'm not sure I'll ever travel to Costa Rica again, but I might come back once my language skills improve. Friends from various countries come here, and while large hostels tend to have a lot of ”J” (Japanese-style) noise, this place has none of that, which is nice. I like the quietness of hostels without any programs.
