Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful Hotel, it was very convenient with the restaurant in the hotel and the breakfast was amazing! I will totally go back on my next visit to CR"

DoubleTree by Hilton Cariari - San Jose Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"I recently stayed at the hotel for five days. Everything was good, clean, the only problem that I had it was that we didn’t have any fridge in in the room and also they didn’t even give us water bottles to have in our room but everything else was excellent"

Delta Hotels by Marriott San Jose Aurola

8/10 Good

"At breakfast the scrambled eggs consistently had egg shell fragments in them. Very unpleasant to chew on. The showers need upgraded. Other than those two items the hotel is beautiful and the staff is very kind and helpful. The rest of the breakfast items were very good. Valet parking was excellent with prompt attending to whenever we came or went."

Hotel Santo Tomás

8/10 Good

"The inside of the hotel was safe and clean. Beautiful woodwork throughout. It was formerly a coffee plantation owners home and has been restored as such. The pool area was really nice, with places to relax and meet up. Comfortable rooms and linens with friendly staff. 3 options for fresh cooked-to-order breakfast. Important to note though that we were told breakfast started at 7:00, but that is the time to order. One morning we were first there and did not get served until 7:45. If you have an early morning tour scheduled, plan accordingly. Important also: we did not feel safe walking around the area of the hotel after dark, and were told that by our Uber driver. We felt that way about most of San Jose. As I mentioned though, the hotel and parking area is gated. Would recommend the hotel with those things in mind. Short walk from the museums and teatro."
