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.

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.

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.

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.
good value for San José /Costa Rica during high season. Basic accommodation amenities , a bar of soap and towel per person. We stayed 3 different times in transit between San José to different areas of the country - ie Manuel Antonio, guanacaste, Caribbean . Each time a different room . The upper floors are prettier with old world feel and wooden floors , The reception staff are young friendly and helpful . The hotel could do with a maintenance refresh as it’s got some great historic feeling about it .
Beautiful 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.
Best hostel in Costa Rica hands down. 4 weeks spent here overall..Wonderful family, I wish I had their love /hoapitality back home. Its quiet, lovely communal area, wonderful breakfast. Great shower, lovely guests. Its awesome. I love it, booked an extra 3 nights. I'm easily pleased but this is the de-facto place to stay I'm San Jose should you be looking for a dorm bed. David is just the best, lovely wife and children. I'll miss it terribly. Thank you David and co.
we booked the hotel at the start and end of our travels and for that, it was perfect. It gave us a good opportunity to just arrive in Costa Rica and organize ourselves. The breakfast was really good and the first room we had very comfortable. Even though it is near San jose and in a city, it is a little bit secluded and has nature surrounding it.
We enjoyed everything at the hotel. The staff was exceptional. Always willing to help and accommodate our needs. The suite was just as comfortable as can be. The layout of the room was wonderful. Just really enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was great. We don't have any complaints. We come to San Jose area a lot so we will be staying again!
This hotel is a great location to explore downtown San Jose on foot. We had a room on the 11th floor and the views of the city were awesome. It was clean, the a/c worked well, the king size bed was in the Goldilocks zone (not too hard, not too soft!) The buffet breakfast was extensive. The staff were friendly and helpful.
The hotel did what it needed to. Clean and the staff were helpful. The aircon wasn't working properly and so they moved our room without an issue.
In hindsight we wouldn't have stayed in downtown San Jose as it's all a bit run down, but if you want to be in the centre of town then this hotel will do the job.
Our stay was short since we had a 1:30 am flight but it was well worth spending 8 hours here. Ken was very welcoming, the hotel is beautiful and was within walking distance to several restaurants. It is located on a golf course in a very safe area. If we come back to San Jose we'll be staying here again.
Hotel Novo was perfect for a short stopover in San José. I needed to be near Terminal 7-10 and the Tuasa stop, and Hotel Novo couldn't have been more convenient. The room was very comfortable—good bed, A/C, and hot water. There were good shops, cafés, restaurants, and more in the surrounding area.
It is clean and sleek. The rooms are clean and comfortable. It is in a great location. Without traffic it is about 20 minutes from the airport. From downtown San Jose it is only about 10 minutes. We felt comfortable walking around the neighborhood at night. Will definitely stay here again.
Very nice hotel in a quiet area from San José. Super friendly staff and amazing breakfast. There are some restaurants and supermarkets in the area, but be aware that this is not the area where San José's nightlife is happening (which, for me is a plus).
The best location in San Jose. Centrally located-- very walkable. Have stayed in three hotels in San Jose. This was by far the best. The room was beautiful. The staff was very helpful. When I return to Costa Rica, I will be staying at the Gran Hotel.
The hotel was a good location for our needs. It had free parking in a secure lot. A short, easy walk to downtown San Jose and restaurants. The rooms were basic, but clean and comfortable. The outdoor area was nice, and my group enjoyed the hot tub.
I stayed here several times when traveling in Costa Rica. The staff is friendly and helpful, the place is clean and has nice common areas. It is close to restaurants/cafes/supermarket.
I recommend it when being in San Jose.
I loved the location, it is just in the downtown of San Jose, plus everything is around the corner, food, tourist places, parks, museums. All that just in a 5-minute walk.
The location couldn't be better if you want to see downtown San Jose and the museums. We had the terrace suite and liked it very much. Staff were friendly and helpful.
