2. Sleep Inn Hotel Paseo Las Damas

Carmen, 2.3 km from Zapote

"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 Zapote Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express San Jose Costa Rica Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very close to airport. Frequent shuttle. Great breakfast. Kind and helpful staff."

AC Hotel San Jose Airport Belen

10/10 Excellent

"First the staff- immensely polite and helpful. Clean, elegant, detail oriented lobby, restaurant (s) and rooms. Very minimalist in design but everything is extremely well thought out and Marriott quality. Rooms were very quiet. Great rooftop bar and pool- minutes from the airport and whatever you do, don’t miss their 5 star breakfast buffet - it’s worth it! Also - close to modern mall to find anything you may have forgotten at home some great food trucks just outside, little market, pharmacy etc . We’ll be back!"
