Carmen, 0.3 km from National Center of Art and Culture

"My preferred place to stay in San Jose (have probably stayed here at least 20 times, and I have stayed at many places in town so I have a fair idea of what's "normal" here even for the high-end hotels). Large and clean rooms, great location and staff. Only downside is there is no restaurant/bar in the hotel, rather in the separate casino which is a bit sleazy for my tastes. But there are decent restaurants within a short walk."

Top National Center of Art and Culture Hotel Reviews

Sleep Inn Hotel Paseo Las Damas

10/10 Excellent

"A very good breakfast as usual."

Hotel La Amistad

8/10 Good

"The biggest issue I had was the train's horn but that is not the fault of the hotel. Everything else was fine."

Urban Green Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"The hotel is located in the city center, so it’s walkable to the national theater, plaza/museum, parks, and other attractions. It’s next to a casino and feels more like an apartment building than a traditional hotel. The staff were very friendly and our room was extremely spacious. It even had a small kitchen area but there were no pots, utensils or plates whatsoever. We were under the impression that it offered a buffet breakfast but you actually ordered from the menu. Simple local foods. For the space and location, we’d consider staying here if we visit San Jose again."

Gran Hotel Costa Rica, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Very good location, for business stay or 1-2 nights is perfect, dinner was good, breakfast divine. Clean nice hotel"

Radisson San Jose-Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay! The room was spotless, comfortable, and smelled wonderful. The staff was very friendly, and the parking was easy and convenient. Getting to our room was almost a little adventure — up, down, left, right, and a few turns along the way! 😂 It definitely made us laugh. Overall, a very pleasant experience and a lovely stay."

Hotel Presidente

8/10 Good

"I'm the heart of downtown. Lovely boutique hotel, modern, chic decor. Just a jewel in the middle of the action. Nice staff, decent breakfast and great bed."

Viajero San José Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in a private room. Everything as described and the location was awesome! We did wish there was a desk or a shelf so we could unpack our bags but it wasn’t too much of a hassle. Would recommend!"

Hotel Santo Tomás

8/10 Good

"The location is perfect, just a short walk to visit the Central Market, the National Theater, the plaza, and the museums. This beautiful, old hotel has excellent staff who help you enjoy the free breakfast choices, the pool, and their amazing city. The parking is secure and included. Shower grab bars and bigger towels would improve this great hotel."

Sportsmens Lodge - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Great food and bar, rooms are a little dated but very clean."
