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

"B"

Barceló San José

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is absolutely beautiful! Everything was wonderful, from the friendly and welcoming staff to the comfortable bed and every little detail throughout the hotel. The breakfast was amazing, with so many delicious options and a beautiful, spacious dining area. I loved every moment of my stay. Highly recommend this hotel! ❤️"

Hotel Presidente

8/10 Good

"This hotel is located in a great location and very convenient to everything downtown. There are some room facing the pedestrian street so the noise is not bad. The room is spacious and linens were satisfactory. We did not like the entrance where you have to take 2 separate elevators in order to get to the room and the breakfast looks nice but is very minimal. I wish they had a fresh waffle or pancake maker. I probably would not stay at this hotel in the future."

Hilton Garden Inn San Jose Airport City Mall

10/10 Excellent

"Limpieza excelente. Atención del personal excelente . Personal amable, responsable. Olvidé mi teléfono. En la zona cercana al comedor; pasaron algunos minutos, pude recogerlo de donde la había colocado. Cómo Enfermera pensionada. Me preocupa. El baño cuando uno se baña , el jabón y otros que usa el piso se pone muy resbaladizo. A mí me ocurrió puse un paño y asunto resuelto. Las personas mayores. Somos muy frágiles y casi siempre cualquier caída. Nos ocasionamos Fracturas en cadera , miembros inferiores o superiores. Ustedes solicitan 25 caracteres."

Holiday Inn Express San Jose Costa Rica Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"This was a short stay that didn’t start well, we booked this hotel because we had a quick overnight before continuing , and it was disappointing that the airport shuttle service was not well coordinated. It was not easy to find the lick-up location but once there, we ended up having to call the hotel after waiting more than 20 minutes. Whoever answered basically blamed us for not being visible to the driver (we were standing right in front of the sign) so he left. Once we arrived at the hotel, all was as expected- clean, friendly staff and good breakfast"
