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

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Jose Aeropuerto, Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"this is like my fourth time staying at the country Inn and suites in Costa Rica. I like it here because the staff are very nice. They have great grounds. They have a restaurant on premises and walking distance to a café and a little store and other restaurants. so it’s very convenient to stay here. And the staff are always very nice and friendly. They know me now but since I come so much.. They have a airport shuttle, which is convenient as well.. They also have a free breakfast, which is very nice.. I will be staying here again.!"
