I didn’t really like anything. The front desk made me carry my bag up 4 flights of stairs. The room was so hot when I got inside. There was no coffee in the rooms at all and I asked multiple time for it. The shower was also clogged.

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,...
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.
The rooms are HUGE! Comfortable beds and everything super clean. Located in downtown San Jose within walking distance to local museums, shopping strips and central market square. Hotel is located next to a casino that has great food at reasonable prices. Upon checking in, we received tokens for complementary drinks at the casino bar. Breakfast was good. Front desk staff went above and beyond to help us schedule our Covid test on a Sunday. Our room had a microwave, mini fridge, coffeemaker and even a stove top.
Most likely the best value in San Jose. It’s a motel that is run like a 4 star hotel. The staff really are top notch and you get a made to order breakfast every day. Good place for business, solo travelers, as well as groups. Super location and the casino is on the same lot so you have gambling and dinner right there at the place. Probably my favorite place to stay in the downtown area of San Jose. Gym is small but you can get a good workout and the equipment is in decent shape. No super annoying Covid rules.
This is a lovely authentic old colonial family house converted to a hotel..It's excellent value for money. The staff & owner are very friendly & go out of their way for their clients.The breakfast is light & very nice. The hotel is very close to lots of lovely outdoor restaurants & coffee shops in Escalante, one of the best areas in downtown San Jose, so it's worth checking out. All in all, this hotel is excellent value & we will certainly book it again upon our return.
"Hotel" Coto is the brothel used by local prostitutes .I did not know that at the time of booking. Every time I am in San Jose , Costa Rica I stay in Hotel El Maragato , but they been totally booked at the time of booking. The price was 58 US dollars I paid 60 and they wanted 2 dollars more ., that in colones would over 1..160 colones. Why three women yelling and screaming took from me over 6 thousand colones I really do not know. Place has 90 procent bad reviews.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfasts. Clean room and comfy bed. Great cooling off in courtyard pool. Located near Park and free gallery of Costa Rica art which was really interesting. Away from the busy centre of San Jose but walk there in 30mins. Close to some good restaurants. Taxi to airport around 25 minutes. Taxi to main Tracopa bus station about 10 minutes. Staff organised taxi for us and it arrived with in minutes. High recommend hotel.
the place is very nice and cosy. the people who work here are so friendly and helpful. rooms are clean, bed is comfortable. all good. its also in i would say kind of a safer area of san jose, and its easy to walk to nice restaurants and shops. they have such a nice outdoor sitting area and also the decoration of the hotel is so amazing. i did sleep very well.
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.
The hotel is a convenient and affordable option for a short stay in San Jose. We stayed for one night after arriving in costa rica. We really liked the breakfast. You can opt for continental (pancakes) or costa rican (gallo pinto) and the coffee was great. The staff was very friendly and speaks good English.
The hotel is in a great location, very central, within a walking distance from the major tourist attractions in downtown San Jose and represents great value for money. The breakfast was tasty and good portion size. The building has a nice historical feel to it, especially inside.
The location is great with many restaurants, coffee shops, and markets. In addition there are nice parks, and a great area to walk in. This is the area I love to stay in whenever I come to San Jose. The hotel is very accommodating at a very good price.
Great area not far from San Jose. The swimming pool on top of the hotel with the fantastic view of the nearby mountains. Also the huge tree with the surround sitting area at the entrance area.
Conveniently located within walking distance of downtown. Pool area was clean and beautiful. Hotel bar was convenient. Hotel staff were all awesome. Great value for the money.
The location couldn't be better if you want to see downtown San Jose and the museums. We had the terrace suite and liked it very much. Staff were friendly and helpful.
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.
