"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 lugar"

Balmoral Hotel San José CR, Historic District

10/10 Excellent

"Muy bien lugar, bien céntrico lo que nos permitió movernos con mucha facilidad"

Urban Green Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"The hotel is located in the city center, so it’s walkable to the national theater, plaza/museum, parks, and other attractions. It’s next to a casino and feels more like an apartment building than a traditional hotel. The staff were very friendly and our room was extremely spacious. It even had a small kitchen area but there were no pots, utensils or plates whatsoever. We were under the impression that it offered a buffet breakfast but you actually ordered from the menu. Simple local foods. For the space and location, we’d consider staying here if we visit San Jose again."

Viajero San José Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in a private room. Everything as described and the location was awesome! We did wish there was a desk or a shelf so we could unpack our bags but it wasn’t too much of a hassle. Would recommend!"
