Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in San Jose cost?
Budget hotel prices in San Jose vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $140 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Which area of San Jose is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers looking for cheap hotels in San Jose, Andalusia, the areas surrounding the village centre and the quieter outskirts offer the best value. These spots provide a more local experience while still being within easy reach of the main attractions and beautiful beaches.

Staying slightly away from the immediate beachfront in the village centre can often yield more affordable guesthouses and family-run hostels. This central location means you're just a short stroll from amenities like local supermarkets, bakeries, and traditional tapas bars, making it easy to keep daily expenses low. You can explore the charming streets on foot and easily access the main bus stop for connections to other parts of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park.

Alternatively, consider accommodations on the quieter outskirts of San Jose, towards the open countryside or the less frequented parts of the village. While these might require a slightly longer walk to the beach, they often provide serene surroundings and lower prices.
When is the most affordable time to visit San Jose?
The most affordable time to visit San Jose, Andalusia, is during the shoulder seasons—spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October)—or the quiet winter months (November to March). These periods avoid the peak summer prices and crowds, offering better value for your money.

During spring and autumn, the weather is pleasantly mild, great for exploring the natural beauty of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park without the intense summer heat. Solo travellers can enjoy hiking or cycling the numerous trails, often finding reduced prices on accommodation and car rentals compared to July and August. You'll also find local eateries offering daily specials at more attractive rates.

Winter provides the absolute best deals for budget-conscious travellers, especially for couples seeking a peaceful getaway. While some facilities might have reduced hours, the dramatic coastal landscapes are still stunning, and you can enjoy the charming village atmosphere without the hustle and bustle.
What free activities should we do in San Jose?
You'll be pleased to know that San Jose, located in the heart of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, offers a wealth of free activities superb for budget-conscious solo travellers. This charming coastal village is a gateway to stunning natural beauty and provides ample opportunities to explore without spending a penny.

A primary free activity is simply enjoying the area's magnificent beaches. San Jose beach itself is a lovely spot for sunbathing, swimming, and people-watching, easily accessible from the village centre. For those willing to walk a little further, the scenic coastal paths lead to more secluded coves and pristine stretches of sand. Solo travellers will particularly enjoy a leisurely stroll to Playa de Genoveses or Mónsul beach, both renowned for their unspoiled landscapes and crystal-clear waters, offering a peaceful escape and fantastic photo opportunities.

Beyond the beaches, exploring the natural park on foot is an incredibly rewarding and free experience. There are numerous well-marked hiking trails suitable for various fitness levels, leading through dramatic volcanic landscapes, past unique flora, and offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Mediterranean. A walk up to the Mirador de la Amatista provides spectacular vistas of the coastline, and it's completely free to access.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in San Jose as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in San Jose for you.
