Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport

10/10 Excellent

"100% percent very good"

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

8/10 Good

"The staff were very helpful and allowed me to check in early. The shuttle service to the airport was reliable and convenient. I enjoyed eating breakfast by the pool. The breakfast variety was good, although not enough pastry selection. The room is very spacious with a good choice of bathroom amenities. There are many outdated things that need to be replaced though, such as the refrigerator and ironing board in the room. Overall, it's a convenient hotel close to the airport with a very friendly staff."

Holiday Inn Express San Jose Costa Rica Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"For an airport hotel it was convenient, fairly cheap, clean, shuttle service was easy. A little tricky to find the pick up area for the shuttle. But the staff was very friendly. Especially the breakfast staff. Raul was great! He gave us fresh coconuts, and guavas and made the kids balloon animals. He had really positive energy and took hospitality to the best possible level. He needs a raise."

DoubleTree by Hilton Cariari - San Jose Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"After a wonderful yet rugged trip this hotel was a greatly appreciated respite before a long flight home. We stayed in a spectacular suite with lovely wood finishes and an oversized jetted spa tub. Within walking distance is a small grocer and several restaurants. Taking an Uber into town was very easy as was the shuttle to the airport. We did not use the pool but the area looked lovely. I would absolutely stay here again."
