Hotel Presidente

"The hotel was in a good location and was very clean and neat. the staff was very friendly and helpful , breakfast was included and was very good, there was free secured parking, the one thing that I did not like was the guest policy no additional guest are allowed after check-in."

Hilton Garden Inn San Jose La Sabana

"Perfect location. Friendly staff"

Sleep Inn Hotel Paseo Las Damas

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente hotel, muy buena ubicación"

Holiday Inn Express San Jose Costa Rica Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"This was a short stay that didn’t start well, we booked this hotel because we had a quick overnight before continuing , and it was disappointing that the airport shuttle service was not well coordinated. It was not easy to find the lick-up location but once there, we ended up having to call the hotel after waiting more than 20 minutes. Whoever answered basically blamed us for not being visible to the driver (we were standing right in front of the sign) so he left. Once we arrived at the hotel, all was as expected- clean, friendly staff and good breakfast"

Hyatt Centric San José Escazú

10/10 Excellent

"An Exceptional Hotel - Hospitality at Its Finest It was a privilege to have stayed here. The stunning lobby and beautiful restaurant create an atmosphere of sophisticated elegance. But what truly distinguishes this hotel is its remarkable staff. The level of hospitality is outstanding - gracious, attentive, and genuinely caring. Throughout my entire stay, I felt completely looked after, with every need met with warmth and professionalism. I felt genuinely welcomed and valued. An unforgettable stay, and a hotel I wholeheartedly recommend. My sincere appreciation to the entire staff for making my visit so exceptional. Special thank you to Didsy, Fabiola, Carlos, Ronny, Waleska, Adrian, and Fernando."
