Vibrant busy city with lots of interesting things to see and do. Name a brand and you can find it in the stores although it may be a bit on the pricey side. The one thing that struck us almost immediately was how clean things are, and the people are warm, welcoming and patient with us folks who can barely speak Spanish.Guest review byDavidBarbados - 10.0
Excellent port of entry to visit lots of Costa Rican gems!
Excellent port of entry to visit lots of Costa Rican gems! Whether you are looking for adventure or chill beach vibes, this is the place with lots of access to tours from the city. And the city itself has a very robust historical, art and cultural experiences. Would recommend. Predominantly Spanish speaking, but lots of nationals will speak some English! So language barrier isn't a huge concern.Guest review byJuleneJamaica - 4.0

We spent the first and last night of our trip to Costa Rica in San José, but in retrospect, that was one night too many. Due to the traffic chaos, it simply takes too long to get to the hotels in San José, so you lose the desire to really explore the city.Guest review byRobertGermany - 6.0

San Jose is a patchwork of beautiful sites amidst a chaotic mess of traffic-riddled highways. We didn't really stay long enough to give it an accurate review, but our short stay was not encouraging. We spent most of our time in Costa Rica on the Pacific Coast, which was quite pleasant.Guest review byJoshuaUnited States - 8.0

In general the city hasn't much to it - the best part is getting out on tours to see some nature! Traffic is also terrible at peak times, sometimes tripling the time is takes to get somewhere. Overall I had an enjoyable experience, but was reliant on tours, organised activities, extensive research on restaurants and Uber to get around.Guest review byKarenIreland - 4.0

As much as we like the hotel we we're impressed with the city It was dirty, sad and unpleasant city while la fortuna is exact opposite I hope they work in San Jose and improve the city. It really could attack people if this city will clean up with some good parks and development Good luckGuest review byMonirArgentina

- From US$96.05 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.6Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 173 reviewsWhat a tranquil spot in the heart of San Jose. From the outside you may think that it could be a little loud given its central location but once you walk through the front doors (and the stunning interior decor) you are met with complete serenity with a beautiful courtyard, lush greenery and beautiful Costa Rican architecture. The staff are incredible, extremely friendly, accommodating and always available. This hotel is a true gem, exactly what I needed to unwind after spending the day out in the busy streets of San Jose!Guest review byKirstinUnited Kingdom
- From US$113 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.4Very good - What previous guests thought, 2,552 reviewsWe stayed at Barcelo as the first hotel for our Honeymoon after our flight to San Jose for 2 nights. The staff were so friendly, they left us a lovely Honeymoon surprise and loved the free snack room with food and drinks :) a huge breakfast selection which was lovely. We loved the pool area and it was just the perfect place to relax after our flight and settle into Costa Rica!Guest review byAbiUnited Kingdom
- From US$84.46 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.4Very good - What previous guests thought, 1,203 reviewsGreat location in Barrio Escalante, the Hipster district of San Jose with many great restaurants and a farmers Market on Saturdays basically next door. The hotel was decorated beautifully with traditional Costa Rican masks and the rooms were clean and spacy. The breakfast was exceptional with Omelettes freshly made and fresh fruit, even pancakes with different toppings. Wow!!!Guest review byDanielAustria
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 7.8Good - What previous guests thought, 923 reviewsOverall, pretty decent place for an overnight stay. The area as noted is not great, but they've tried to make the hotel nice. It is comfortable, good value and secure at night. Also close to the bus stops. I'd recommend it for one night as a transit place, but not to explore San JoseGuest review byMiriamAustralia
- From US$84.75 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.7Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 1,406 reviewsBeautiful hotel tucked away in a quiet part of San Jose overlooking the city. The pool area and gardens were beautiful and they had a lovely communal space to relax in. The room was huge and very comfortable. The staff were very helpful and breakfast was good.Guest review byEmmalou89United Kingdom
