Carmen, 0.3 km from Pre-Colombian Gold Museum

"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 Pre-Colombian Gold Museum Hotel Reviews

Barceló San José

10/10 Excellent

"Great Service"

Balmoral Hotel San José CR, Historic District

10/10 Excellent

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

Hotel Presidente

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff, room, breakfast and location. Highly recommend it."

Taormina Hotel and Casino

10/10 Excellent

"Taormina has it all"

Sleep Inn Hotel Paseo Las Damas

10/10 Excellent

"A very good breakfast as usual."

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."

Hotel Santo Tomás

8/10 Good

"The location is perfect, just a short walk to visit the Central Market, the National Theater, the plaza, and the museums. This beautiful, old hotel has excellent staff who help you enjoy the free breakfast choices, the pool, and their amazing city. The parking is secure and included. Shower grab bars and bigger towels would improve this great hotel."

San José Downtown Suites

8/10 Good

"Really nice staff at front desk. Quite hard to find the hotel as no sign outside."

Balmoral Suites

10/10 Excellent

"It was amazing! Clean and awesome staff!"
