A courtyard with tables set for dining, surrounded by ornate architectural details and greenery.

Hotel Grano de Oro

Hospital

10/10 Excellent

From the moment we stepped from our transfer, we were treated royally - the staff is trained well, very friendly, and efficient! The courtyard, used for meals, was lovely - heaters provided for cooler weather. The menus for both breakfast and dinner offered a variety of local as well as international options. Our standard room was small, but very comfortable. The best feature, for those who love to walk, is the location - a twenty minute stroll from central downtown, near wonderful museums...

Parque del Lago Boutique Hotel

Hospital

10/10 Excellent

We stayed here on the front and back end of our trip to The Springs and Peacelodge. The hotel is nicely decorated, clean, and close to downtown San Jose. The staff is very helpful and friendly and the free breakfast is great. We also ate dinner here and the food is very good. The only downside is that the rooms are small and it can be quite noisy, as there are many buses driving by all the time. I would suggest a room on the top floor and on the opposite side of the Main Street.

My husband and I went to visit friends and family in Costa Rica. The hotel is conveniently located in the main capital where there are great restaurants and shopping areas. My husband loves to stay at this location too because is quiet and safe. The staff are very kind and always make sure everyone are accommodated with essential things you may need. Oh, the breakfast is great! I mean well presentable and lovely settings to eat indoors and outdoors too. One more thing there is a beautiful...

Sportsmens Lodge - Adults Only

Carmen

10/10 Excellent

When I say five stars I don't mean it is the best hotel in the country, I mean it does what it does really well in its price range. This is a comfortable and relaxing place. It is geared towards men who like to rest and watch a lot of sports. It is very clean and the hotel staff is very nice. They were very accommodating. The bartenders are friendly. The food is decent for Costa Rican standards. Sorry but Costa Rica isn't a food paradise. Not bad but nothing you will photograph and remember....

Anonymous traveler

A bar area with a long counter, multiple bar stools, and a television screen.

Hotel Palma Real

La Sabana

10/10 Excellent

I chose this hotel because of its proximity to SJO, the availability of its business center (to print my boarding pass), and the free breakfast to get me going in the morning. I ended up having dinner there the night prior as well. The costs were fair and the food was pretty good. The staff was VERY friendly and accomodating, and when I come back to visit San Jose, I will definitely be staying here again.
