1. Sleep Inn Hotel Paseo Las Damas

Carmen

"My preferred place to stay in San Jose (have probably stayed here at least 20 times, and I have stayed at many places in town so I have a fair idea of what's "normal" here even for the high-end hotels). Large and clean rooms, great location and staff. Only downside is there is no restaurant/bar in the hotel, rather in the separate casino which is a bit sleazy for my tastes. But there are decent restaurants within a short walk."

Top San Rafael Abajo Hotel Reviews

Radisson San Jose-Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"Súper cool excelente volveré"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Jose Aeropuerto, Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"Close to airport, with good airport shuttle service. Only 100 meters from a convenient cluster of restaurants - Italian, Indian, Argentine, Korean, sports bar. If you like good bread, stop by Moose - have a good meal (pizza, pasta, seafood, salads…) and buy a loaf of good bread to take home."

Hyatt Centric San José Escazú

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is new so the gym and pool were not operational. The hotel is located in the popular Escazú area near some shops with plenty of restaurants nearby. Good for a stroll during the day. I would definitely stay again on my next biz trip to San Jose."

DoubleTree by Hilton Cariari - San Jose Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"The property was an older Villa Style Hotel with an amazing layout and beautifully maintained. Very relaxing and so much better than your typical hotel. The staff was amazing and the pool and restaurant area was beautiful! Will never stay anywhere else when passing through San Jose!"

Wyndham San Jose Herradura Hotel & Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Our family enjoyed our stay, especially the pool and games. The rooms were clean and nice, and staff was helpful. They even have a rental car desk now too, so our car was delivered right to the hotel. The free Wednesday evening food and drinks reception was another bonus. We will definitely stay again when back in San Jose."
