I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the The Radisson San Jose hotel. Breakfast was delicious. The dinners that I had at the hotel were memorable. The front desk and dining staff were exceptional. I highly recommend the Radisson San Jose hotel.
It's cheap and convenient. I stayed in a dormitory for two nights, and while it wasn't particularly comfortable, it was worth the price. The service was excellent. I had a room in a different building, so I can't speak to the other rooms, but there was only one toilet and shower outside, which meant I couldn't get to the toilet if someone was using it. The location is within walking distance of the city center, but I was woken up very early in the morning by the train horn.
Place is about half an hour taxi ride from the airport. We originally booked it since the listing here said check in was 1400, but were later emailed that check-in was actually 1500 and when we arrived at 1500, the host said they aren't finished cleaning it and we had to wait in the lobby. The room was nice, although we didn't find the bathroom to be entirely clean. Included breakfast only consisted of coffee, fruit bowl and toast with jams.
We loved the staff and the location. We tried the restaurant of the hotel and found the food to be great but expensive. We liked our room but missed some basic items like a showercap and the sleepers we are used to finding in hotels like this one. They only provide 2 free bottles of water, so do not expect a couple each day like in other hotels. The internet connection was really disappointing. The bed was comfortable, and the room was ok overall.
Samsung price, five-star feeling! More than expected!
First of all, the location is excellent in the downtown area. Go out and turn right for 2 minutes on the main street, diagonally opposite the Costa Rican National Museum.
Turn right on the main street and walk for about 5 minutes. It is a variety of restaurants and tea supermarkets in Chinatown. It is great! Yanyan Chinatown and then walk a street ahead is the National Grand Theatre and Commercial Street, Central Park and the main church.
Secondly, the room is clean, comfortable, spacious and bright, great!
The breakfast variety provided is simple but the dining environment and food are satisfactory enough! All the staff are warm, friendly and thoughtful, making people feel like spring breeze, five-star praise!
The hotel is elegantly decorated and tasteful, pleasing to the eye, there are pictures and the truth
I stayed in this hotel on a business trip a few years ago. It's not far from the airport and has a nice environment. There's a coffee shop downstairs next door and the transportation is convenient. There was a safety drill on the day before leaving, which was pretty good.
It’s more cost-effective to book a breakfast-included package on Ctrip. When I checked in, I didn’t find breakfast at first, but it soon became clear.
If you're looking to explore San Jose, or have a basecamp for exploring the rest of Costa Rica, this hotel offers a great central location, situated right in the middle of San José. Good for walking to restaurants or shops in the city, or joining one of the several sight-seeing excursions which can be easily arranged by the hotel.
The rooms are nice, though the decor is a bit dated. The common areas are also well designed for lounging while reading a book or getting to know your fellow travelers staying on the same floor.
The breakfast buffet was fairly common for a hotel offering breakfast in Costa Rica, but good, and the area also doubles as a bar at night. Other amenities include a gym with free weights and a couple machines, along with two saunas, one dry and one steam.
Hotel Soluxe el Sesteo is the perfect place to unwind after a day of travel or work.
This property has a pool, including a pool with view.
This property is home to a restaurant.
At this bed and breakfast, you'll also find facilities including a bbq. The property's front desk offers service in 3 languages, including English. For extra convenience, free luggage storage and laundry service (on-site) are available at the property as well.
Guests arriving by car can use the property's parking lot.
Excellent location, hotel price is relatively high, breakfast is really convenient, shopping nearby, not far from the Hilton main store, the facilities are good, the price is relatively high
The hotel is half an hour away from the airport. The rooms are large and clean. It provides the famous local Britt coffee. The breakfast variety is OK, and it changes every day. The waiter will enthusiastically pour coffee or orange juice. However, some single rooms may have a connecting door next door. If you mind, you can inform the front desk in advance.

TTessa_assetUndiscovered gem of a hotel near San Pedro.
Pros: We were looking for a place on the lower end of the price spectrum that was a one night romantic getaway for two, that I could also use my free trip coins at toward the cost of the room. Preferably including breakfast and a swimming pool with jacuzzi 😉 Not much to ask!
We booked one of the cheaper rooms on the ground floor.
Before check in we took an Uber to San Pedro mall to do some essential shopping and see a movie. Then we checked in and I relaxed in the jacuzzi under the San José night sky while my husband enjoyed a full workout in the gym/weights room. TV with cable was great for my husband who enjoyed the football while I enjoyed the hot shower and relaxed in the bed afterwards. We had an amazingly comfortable sleep and a delicious breakfast in the morning of gallo pinto, fresh tropical fruits, freshly squeezed watermelon juice and hot coffee. A generous check out time of 12pm meant we had more than enough time to get our things together and leave when it suited.
Cons: Not many cons at this price point and value. The guy at the desk was a bit weird when we asked him for a second glass for water as there was only one in the room but not a big deal. We also had to ask him for the TV remote. The towels were a bit small like a mini dress on me after my shower. But good quality (with a third extra towel for the jacuzzi) and high quality bed linen. It also is in a slightly rough looking neighborhood but this is not a problem if you travel to and from the hotel by Uber or use a hire car (which you can park privately inside the property).
Overall impression: The other photos on trip.com and similar booking sites do not do this hotel justice - it looks far better in person. It has real character since it is a restored historic hotel from an era bygone, but that is why everything is such high quality from the bed linen to the floor tiles. Everything is also in good shape and freshly painted. There a little hidden nooks around the hotel that make it very charming. The breakfast area is lovely and the jacuzzi, pool and water slide were a real highlight. We WILL be back.
EEmily0626The room was clean and tidy, the breakfast was great, there was a menu to choose from, fruit coffee juices were available, and there were many public areas suitable for group travel. No elevator is a problem

SSunny DarkKing room with city view, 14 floor: 2 nights. July
* You will hear the music from the bar across the park until 3am. Not much noises from the regular city streets.
* No fresh air available in this hotel. All the windows are sealed.
* No fridge, no Netflix. But plenty of english channels on tv.
* good internet.
* excellent hot water, and water pressure.
* small gym ok, but no windows, and tv was not working.
* nice indoor pool, but water too cold for me. No windows but a clear dome.
* breakfast have ok choices, not much for a vegetarian.
* restaurant expensive like any other hotel, but the staff is sympathic.
* free parking.
* very nice staff.
* reservation with Trip.com was a complication, they didn't have my reservation. Took 1h to check-in. At the check-out they charged me the room that was already paid on Trip.com, had to ask for a refund, which they did, no arguying but a lot of explanations and proof of payment... but the staff was really polite and helpful.
* only 1 person working at the counter for check-in and check-out..
* easy to walk everywhere.
* easy to navigate with google map or waze.
GGuest UserNice 4 star hotel, very kind and friendly staff, food was way over priced, especially the buffet which was disappointing. Not much in the area, walking distance to do or see. A nice enough and clean spot for a night lay over.

GGuest UserGood points, room very nice and clean. Bar and pool staff very good. Dinner OK. Amenities also good.
Not so good, receptionists abrupt and unwelcoming, we were told to see the bell man to organise a lift to the airport and he just left us standing at his desk organising about 10 suitcases and then walked off to deliver them to various rooms. We went for breakfast at 05.00 as it says on room information and was told when checking out it opens at 05.30. We had a flight to catch and make our own way to the airport so no breakfast.
MMarcelosabana studios are a a great and econimal way to stay in the capital, the only thing is that its very hard to find its location as when I went they didn't have any signage as to where they are. Please find out exactly the location of the office before you got as I got a bit lost and took me asking someone to direct me. I had no internet at the time so I couldn't call .One of the friendly locals used his mobile to ask about the location and that's how I finally found it. all in all it was a positive experience.
The apartment is located close to a nice park for walking and relaxing.
there are some options for food but you need to check the surrounding area on a mmap before blindingly walking out hoping to find an area where restaurants are.
GGuest UserExcellent hotel, clean. A delicious breakfast and polite staff. When you left the hotel, we were asked to print the documents and call us a taxi to the airport - we all helped. We are very happy ♥️♥️♥️
LLady Kwenadi🌟 5-Star Review for Hostel Casa Colón, San José
I had a fantastic stay at Hostel Casa Colón — it exceeded my expectations in every way. The location is incredibly convenient, especially if you’re heading to or from the airport or bus terminals. The staff were welcoming and helpful, offering great local tips. My room was clean, secure, and surprisingly quiet despite being in the city. The common areas are stylish and spacious, with a cozy on-site restaurant that serves excellent breakfast and coffee. It truly felt more like a boutique guesthouse than a typical hostel. Highly recommend for solo travelers, couples, or anyone looking for comfort and value in San José.
