Hilton Garden Inn San Jose Airport City Mall

10/10 Excellent

"We were at the Hilton Garden Inn City Mall for two nights before our tour. Staff very helpful, rooms were clean and breakfast had a variety of hot and cold items. Overall a pleasant stay."

Costa Rica Marriott Hotel Hacienda Belen

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was extremely helpful and super nice! I would def stay there again!"

Radisson San Jose-Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean facility. the only thing that you didn't have, that I'm used to was a microwave in my room. Very friendly staff, everyone was really nice, especially house keeping. Good breakfast and parking. Overall I loved it here. I recommend this hotel for you next stay"

Wyndham San Jose Herradura Hotel & Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great stop on our first and last night in Costa Rica. Very convenient location about 15 minutes away from the airport. The room was clean and well stocked and the pool was a great sanctuary for a weary traveler. The most standout thing about the stay was the gracious and thoughtful staff. Johan checked us in the second time and went above and beyond, even walking around the complex to find us at the pool(we were early for check in) to get us our room key before he left. Thank you for taking such good care of us. We'll be back."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Jose Aeropuerto, Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean,food at restaurant very good"

Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport

10/10 Excellent

"I really like this hotel, everything is good and is very close to a lot of locations. I am recommending to everyone!"

Hyatt Centric San José Escazú

10/10 Excellent

"El personal es muy colaborador y amable. Estuve contento de hallar en mi cuarto una mesita que me sirvió de escritorio, lo que no había en mi habitación en febrero. Aprecio el aislamiento fónico que limita la entrada de los ruidos exteriores, y las batas muy abrigadas. Cama confortable. Excelente atención 1) en el restaurante, en particular de Fabiola, Viviana, Luis y Carlos, siempre con una sonrisa. 2) en la recepción, con Randy, Kenia y Jonathan. La música queda fuerte y no relajante, pero tengo que resignarme, porque en prácticamente todos los lugares (hoteles, restaurantes y almacenes, hay esa música agitada, salvo en los restaurantes de alta gama. Regresaré con gusto en enero de 2027, para quedarme con gusto varios días con mi esposa."

DoubleTree by Hilton Cariari - San Jose Costa Rica

8/10 Good

"Very clean. Helpful and friendly staff. They even called the doctor at 4:00AM when my son suddenly got sick. Nice amenities. But the paid breakfast was not worth it."

Poas Volcano Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful place, wonderful stay: quiet, magical, relaxing."
