If you like a big city, San Jose is great.
If you like a big city, San Jose is great. We live in southern Costa Rica and only go to San Jose for doctor visits and shopping. It's best to take a taxi or Uber in San Jose. The traffic is crazy. Be sure to use the WAZE app instead of Google for driving around. It stays more up to date.GaryCosta Rica - 10Scored 10
I did a tour for the first two weeks of the volcano area,...
I did a tour for the first two weeks of the volcano area, rain forest, Caribbean, and then the Pacific side of the island. During the tour, we also ziplined, rode horseback, white water rafting, soaked in hot springs, and hiked the rain forest and volcano areas. When the tour ended I stayed for another 10 days in downtown San Jose and did day trips out of the apartment. People are family-oriented, friendly, and supportive. You can drink the water and use US electric devices. Go, you will love it.

We stayed here on our last night but wished we hadn't.
We stayed here on our last night but wished we hadn't. The hotel was good but there was nothing special about the city and we would have preferred to be back in Alajuela where we stayed on the first night. There was much less traffic there and lots of different birds in the trees. The park in San Jose only had grackles.ElizabethUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
There is plenty to do in San Jose and the surrounding area.
There is plenty to do in San Jose and the surrounding area. Three places to recommend: the Jade Museum, the Post Office Museum and Lankester Botanical Garden on the road to Paraiso. The Jade Museum is a revelation - it is in a new building and has a wonderful exhibition about the Pre-Colombian inhabitants of Central America. Don't be put off by its title - it is not a museum of dusty cabinets full of jade objects. Just to the right of the entrance to the Central Post Office is a museum with displays of various themes - space, calypso, biodiversity - illustrated with stamps from all over the world. The Lankester Gardens is a gem. It's a centre for the study of orchids so visit at the right time of year, e.g. March, when many are in flower. The gardens are beautifully laid out and very well cared for.RichardUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0
Great city.
Great city. Nice and friendly people with plenty of places to visit, especially their natural parks. Food is good, and the water is safe to drink in the city. Although the locals warned me to be cautious but I felt safe.

We were in San Jose for 2 days; meeting a group coming in from the USA to walk The Camino de Costa Rica so met our outfitter and guide. We visited the Jade Museum and would have gone to the Gold Museum if we had time. We did a long walk in the city to visit a famous hotel ( Grano de Oro). It's a busy city during the day and we were warned not to walk alone at night.

- From $116.39 per night9.0Scored 9.0WonderfulRated wonderful· 843 reviewsAbsolutely amazing staff! Especially Veronica and Jorge (and one other young woman whose name I forget!) who went above and beyond to help us book things and get where we needed - we were so impressed with them we changed our booking on return to San Jose to stay with them again! Nice hotel feel with a little plant garden area, definitely get the upgraded room as there is more light and the rooms are more spacious. Comfortable beds, good breakfast. This place changed our whole holiday because of how good the staff were!
VUnited Kingdom - From $192.10 per night8.8Scored 8.8ExcellentRated excellent· 385 reviewsProbably one of the most wonderful hotel experiences I have ever had. Beautiful architecture and decor, mountain views, and excellent service from the staff. Everything was over the top. They offer an incredible breakfast spread (with many, many juices). Pool/bar area is very luxurious. Adjacent to several shops, a spa, grocery, food truck court (very nice, with a large, collaborative patio area, and restaurants. Also very close to the San Jose airport. We will return to this magnificent hotel again!LindaUnited States of America
- From $108.42 per night9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 875 reviewsBeautiful property. This house that has been turned into a hotel is very luxurious. It also was very clean with no black mold. We arrived in Costa Rica during the rainy season. I am sensitive to black mold. Every hotel we stayed at but this one has a black mold issue. This one does not. It has a beautiful pool, beautiful view, this is the nicest non-chain hotel I found in San Jose Costa Rica. I liked this hotel so much we came back a day early to San Jose so we could stay here again.
KatherineUnited States of America - From $34.47 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very GoodRated very good· 612 reviewsThe night was confortable as well as the uncomplicated check in. For all sorts of questions about San Jose and travaling around Central America we could talk to the very friendly English speaking host of the In The Wind Hostel and also to other travalers and guests in the lovely atrium garden while enjoying the amazing pancake breakfast. In all it´s an ideal and safe place to start your jurny in San Jose or even in Costa Rica, if your not looking for some luxary hotel.AAlexanderGermany

- From $76.84 per night8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 370 reviewsI had to do a very late check in, there is no official front desk, so the guy waited until almost 11 for us. We were there for 2 days and the second night I accidentally broke the key in the door. So the guy had to get up and open it for us every time without complaint. I used to live in San Jose and the location is great because it's downtown, but not in the "gross"part of downtown. It is very quiet, very clean and overall a great expirence.JeremyUnited States of America
