Carmen

"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 San Rafael Arriba Hotel Reviews

Hotel Mango

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente"

Costa Rica Marriott Hotel Hacienda Belen

10/10 Excellent

"Great place, well kept and located!!"

Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport

10/10 Excellent

"This Hampton is as good as any in the states. The staff speak English exceptionally well and are tolerant of us attempting our muy feo espanol. Quiet rooms, great breakfast. My only complaint is the pool was a bit cold, but clean clear and perfect to swim. Will return."

Gran Hotel Costa Rica, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and comfortable"

Holiday Inn Express San Jose Costa Rica Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"We usually stay at this Holiday Inn because of the value and the breakfast. This time, the breakfast was not very good. There weren't as many choices and the quality has gone down. The room was clean and the staff is always helpful."

Courtyard by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

10/10 Excellent

"Todo muy bien! Gracias por la gentileza y atenciones."

Wyndham San Jose Herradura Hotel & Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Staff Clean Room, Parking"

AC Hotel San Jose Airport Belen

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic choice for your first night in Costa Rica, or the final night before a flight home. Two recommendations, book the breakfast, you won’t be disappointed, and book the shuttle from the airport to the hotel and avoid having to pay a ridiculously high price for a taxi. Third time staying at AC Belan, and I will stay again."

Hotel Presidente

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was great but the neighborhood was a bit gritty. Not great for an evening stroll."
