Top San José Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn San Jose Airport City Mall

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, only minutes away from the airport. Hotel room was very clean and well maintained "

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

8/10 Good

"Solo pasamos una noche ya que salíamos al otro día de viaje, tiene buena localización porque está cerca del aereopuerto. El personal excelente, al cuarto le hacía falta cariño porque se ve un poco viejo y olía mucho a humedad. El desayuno estuvo muy bueno. "

Barceló San José

4/10 Poor

"I’ve genuinely never stayed anywhere quite like this—and not in a good way. This hotel is so far from 5-star, it’s hard to know where to begin. On arrival, there was just one person working at reception during what we were told is peak season. You’re forced into a single queue for everything—check-in, broken room keys, general queries—which meant a long wait just to get to the desk. Unsurprisingly, no one in the queue seemed happy. The rooms are incredibly dated—like stepping back into the 1970s. Everything feels old and tired, right down to a corded phone mounted on the bathroom wall. It’s not charming or retro, just in serious need of an update. Breakfast was completely average—nothing you’d expect from a hotel positioning itself as 5-star. The pool itself is decent, but it was so overcrowded that people were sitting on the floor due to a lack of seating. Towels also ran out and weren’t replenished, despite asking multiple times. At best, this is a 3-star hotel charging 5-star prices. I wouldn’t recommend it."
