"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."

La Sabana

10/10 Excellent

We booked a room here at the last minute after the hotel we originally booked had double booked our room and left us with nowhere to stay after some long flights. We were so pleased to be here, the hotel is immaculate and all the staff so friendly and welcoming. Scarlett who checked us in was particularly helpful and friendly. The bed and pillows were the comfiest I have had at a hotel. The breakfast also really good and excellent value.

At about $60 a night, this was a great value stay for us. The room was large, comfortable, and even had a nice view of the mountains surrounding the city. There is an outdoor pool and the included buffet breakfast definitely did the trick. The neighborhood is a bit dead at night so possibly not the most safe, but during the day we never felt at all unsafe. It's about a half hour walk into the city center.

A modern hotel with a curved facade, multiple floors, and a central atrium.

Residence Inn by Marriott San Jose Escazu

San Rafael

10/10 Excellent

Good: Located in an upscale shopping area with good access to a major shopping mall. Taxis available any time you need, and lots of food/entertainment options. Staff is extremely friendly and makes a point of getting to know you and greet you each time you see them. Rooms are done to a decently high standard and the kitchen is great. Morning breakfast is solid. The less good: the pool is nothing to write home about; in the afternoon it doesn't get as much direct sun, and is in a very windy...
