From
Costa RicaThe location is great, there's a small shopping center down the street. The room was very spacious with a desk for working, an eating area, and an area to watch TV. The beds were comfortable and towels were soft. The showers have hot water, which i love! The bathroom had a blow dryer which was great because I forgot mine. The kitchen was well stocked with basic items. The back parking area felt secure with the gate that the staff control from inside.

We stayed 3 nights, two full days, on our first visit to Costa Rica, before heading to a rain forest lodge, Our purpose for staying in San Jose was primarily to get a feel for the country and its history.. SJ is an interesting town, well worth a few days stay. We recommend the free guided walking tour, and the National museum, especially its butterfly garden! Sadly we didn't have enough time to visit the Jade museum, which was the favourite of our walking tour guide, nor the art museum.

It is not very nice city. Streets are dirty and smelly. I really liked the asian part though (I really recommend the Igo Ramen restaurant). We didn't explore the city, just spent there night after and before the flights.

Costa Rica is one of the better economies in Central America...
Costa Rica is one of the better economies in Central America and San Jose somewhat reflects this in prices - I have travelled a lot in south and central america and San Jose isn't cheap. Resturants etc add on local tax and service charge and tip?? - Bit like USA - however the central market is great for cheap local food and very nice. Our accomodation was in Escalante which is an up and coming suburb (30 mins walk to central San Jose) - and there are plenty cafes and resturants in that area - Uber is cheap....But many places are walkable. We did a one day volcano tour (crater lake is gone - not as per the pictures), but it was interesting - particularly the Cartago bascilica - and the central university sloth tour and central San Jose walking tours are good. Its not the excitement of the Mexico City 'Dias de Muertos' or the dramatic central square - I was there early Nov 25, but Costa Rica was good experience - nice people - and plenty good beaches and wild life.

I loved it.
I loved it. I can say you need to be an assertive driver as the motorcyclist/scooter drivers drive between the lanes on the street and freeway. Using Waze as your app is necessary as many streets and off ramps do not necessarily tell you the exit name or number if any.
I love that other area/neighborhoods are within 10 to 30 minutes of one another. Tacobar Escazu, Moose, Cafe a la Moda, Country Inn Suites Cariari/San Jose Airport was amazing! The staff at these location were phenomenal. We tipped above the included gratuity within the check they were so good.
Use your translation apps as it help when there is a need to translate from your native language to Spanish.
It was a wonderful trip!

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.

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.

We booked this hotel last minute for just the one night, but we were very glad that we did. For the price, the hotel is very well equipped and the staff were very friendly. Breakfast was also very good (one of the best banana breads I’ve ever had in fact). We were glad to be in downtown for anyone unsure which area to stay in.
