very uniquely designed and very tastefully too. So much greenery inside the hotel which is beautiful. Breakfast was impeccable but didn’t get to try lunch or dinner due to short stay.

The location is great, there's a small shopping center down the street. The room was very spacious with a desk for working, an eating area, and an area to watch TV. The beds were comfortable and towels were soft. The showers have hot water, which i love! The bathroom had a blow dryer which was great because I forgot mine. The kitchen was well stocked with basic items. The back parking area felt secure with the gate that the staff control from inside.

    Vibrant busy city with lots of interesting things to see and do. Name a brand and you can find it in the stores although it may be a bit on the pricey side. The one thing that struck us almost immediately was how clean things are, and the people are warm, welcoming and patient with us folks who can barely speak Spanish.

    Excellent port of entry to visit lots of Costa Rican gems!

    Excellent port of entry to visit lots of Costa Rican gems! Whether you are looking for adventure or chill beach vibes, this is the place with lots of access to tours from the city. And the city itself has a very robust historical, art and cultural experiences. Would recommend. Predominantly Spanish speaking, but lots of nationals will speak some English! So language barrier isn't a huge concern.

    We spent the first and last night of our trip to Costa Rica in San José, but in retrospect, that was one night too many. Due to the traffic chaos, it simply takes too long to get to the hotels in San José, so you lose the desire to really explore the city.

    San Jose is a patchwork of beautiful sites amidst a chaotic mess of traffic-riddled highways. We didn't really stay long enough to give it an accurate review, but our short stay was not encouraging. We spent most of our time in Costa Rica on the Pacific Coast, which was quite pleasant.

    In general the city hasn't much to it - the best part is getting out on tours to see some nature! Traffic is also terrible at peak times, sometimes tripling the time is takes to get somewhere. Overall I had an enjoyable experience, but was reliant on tours, organised activities, extensive research on restaurants and Uber to get around.

    As much as we like the hotel we we're impressed with the city It was dirty, sad and unpleasant city while la fortuna is exact opposite I hope they work in San Jose and improve the city. It really could attack people if this city will clean up with some good parks and development Good luck

    We stayed here both on.our way in and way out of San Jose. We arrived on a very late flight but this wasn't a problem. The staff were very friendly. Breakfast was great. It's a short walk (10-15 mins) to the central market, shops and restaurants. We were warned not to walk around at night, but it didn't feel too bad and I expect this is the case for most of San Jose.. The hotel can order you in.pizza. The rooms are basic but clean and perfectly adequate for a short stay. The hotel has some nice decor and a garden area.

    The hotel was what you would expect from a Hilton hotel - friendly, efficient staff, good facilities, comfortable bed. Location was good for us - fairly close to the airport and only a 15-minute taxi ride to the centre of San Jose. Pool and pool area were very nice, spacious and not crowded. Buffet breakfast was excellent, so many options, wish we'd had more than one opportunity to sample it!

    What a little gem in San Jose, near some of the main parks and museums. The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to help meet our needs. We loved the bright decor and artwork and the small courtyard garden is a beautiful little oasis in the middle of the city. The breakfast was also excellent and the best introduction we could have had to local Costa Rican cuisine!

    A nice find in a good area of San Jose, only a 30 minute drive from the airport. It has a really nice vibe with lots of original art on display on every floor - a genuine boutique hotel. Decent breakfast, a Pool on the 3rd floor - nice to catch the sunset. Tea & coffee available at all times. Safe underground car park. Near to a wide variety of restaurants and shops in Santa Ana

    This hotel was our first stop in Costa Rica. It's a little gem on the outskirts on San Jose, perfect to start your Costa Rican trip. The rooms are spacious and clean, breakfast is served by the cutest lady. We didn't use the pool but that's were breakfast is served and they view was great!
