Top San José Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express San Jose Costa Rica Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent clean room with good WiFi and great breakfast. If can or given the choice take a second floor room. Although less convenient for luggage, will be a little quieter for those with 4am departures, who care not for those self important and inconsiderate guests checking in and out, who think that all will wish to know about their arrival or departure. Granted this is not a fault of the hotel or the staff, such is the world we live in these days. Pool at the hotel looked great, albeit didn’t use, and gym was adequate for an overnight stop over. Parking has wide spaces so you don’t have to worry about your rental getting banged with door/baggage etc"

Homewood Suites By Hilton Cariari San Jose

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Homewood Suites by Hilton Cariari San José was outstanding from start to finish. The property is modern, spotless, and exceptionally well maintained, with spacious rooms that made it easy to relax after a day of exploring Costa Rica. The staff was warm, professional, and always willing to help, making us feel genuinely welcome throughout our stay. The complimentary breakfast was excellent with plenty of fresh options, and the hotel’s convenient location near the airport and local restaurants made getting around effortless. Every detail, from the comfortable beds to the beautiful common areas, reflected the pride the team takes in the property. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and high-quality hotel in the San José. My only drawback is the price of the drinks!"

Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, good amenities and fantastic location for the airport so helps with convenience. Breakfast also pretty good, reasonable buffet selection without being too much. Coffee was superb (Britt). Only issue we had was first time staying they only had a room with a sofabed left even though we booked a room with two doubles. Not ideal after 12 or so hours travelling but staff tried to do their best with extra bedding etc."
