Top San José Hotel Reviews

Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and new room, no bad smell only the towels are seems smell bad. The reception told me was 5th floor so I was opening a different room. But it should be 2nd floor."

The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Simply amazing. The staff were so kind and the place was just so peaceful. Loved it!"

Hilton Garden Inn San Jose Airport City Mall

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is extremely clean, beautiful, and comfortable to stay at with a young family of 5. The rooms are beautiful, spacious, modern and clean. The restaurant has great food. It’s a quick 3 minute ride to the airport and the hotel has a clean and easy shuttle that will take you. This hotel is very convenient and high end. Highly recommend"

Aloft by Marriott San Jose Hotel, Costa Rica

Peace Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Xandari Resort And Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly and welcoming stop close to SJO. Very characterful, the rooms are large with a great view over the valley. The extensive grounds have great walking trails - we saw an agouti - for early morning walks and a hummingbirds visible from the breakfast restaurant and the jacuzzi next to the swimming pool. Staff are very helpful and friendly, food was good."

Alajuela City Hotel & Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"The room was super clean and comfy, and we were so thankful for the fabulous breakfast the that was included! Team Lee highly recommends this property!!!"

Residence Inn By Marriott San Jose Alajuela El Coyol

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast included"

AC Hotel San Jose Airport Belen

10/10 Excellent

"Massive room which was perfectly clean. Great location, handy to the airport. In the grounds of the hotel there are a number of shops and an excellent outdoor area which had comfortable seating, nice music and lots of really good quality food trucks offering everything from Thai to Indian to Cuban and more. Highly recommended for a relaxing evening with good food. Breakfast at AC is great but make sure you book with your room as it’s very expensive to pay at breakfast. Around £30 per person but rebooking with room was around £11. Great selection and the staff in the restaurant were excellent too."
