Top San José Hotel Reviews

Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

10/10 Excellent

"None"

Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport

8/10 Good

"When I made my reservation I noted that I would be arriving late so that the shuttle driver would look for me. I had traveled for about 14 hours and was exhausted. I waited about 50 minutes before calling the hotel, all while watching other shuttles come and go 3-4 times. So for the unreliability of the shuttle service Id give this hotel a 1. But the staff was great, the room and hotel were very clean and I was impressed by the breakfast, that’s why I give them 4 stars."

AC Hotel San Jose Airport Belen

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms great staff and good breakfast"

Peace Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"About an hour from San Jose and STRONGLY recommend at least 1 or 2 nights coming to or from. This is an extraordinary experience. The casitas are over the top, but the 5 waterfalls hike, the Aviary, Frog experience, Big Cats and Butterfly house will blow your mind. It is all rescued animals given the best experience that could be created. I will find a way to visit there EVERY time I go to Costa Rica."
