Excellent port of entry to visit lots of Costa Rican gems!
Excellent port of entry to visit lots of Costa Rican gems! Whether you are looking for adventure or chill beach vibes, this is the place with lots of access to tours from the city. And the city itself has a very robust historical, art and cultural experiences. Would recommend. Predominantly Spanish speaking, but lots of nationals will speak some English! So language barrier isn't a huge concern.Guest review byJuleneJamaica - 4.0

We spent the first and last night of our trip to Costa Rica in San José, but in retrospect, that was one night too many. Due to the traffic chaos, it simply takes too long to get to the hotels in San José, so you lose the desire to really explore the city.Guest review byRobertGermany - 6.0

San Jose is a patchwork of beautiful sites amidst a chaotic mess of traffic-riddled highways. We didn't really stay long enough to give it an accurate review, but our short stay was not encouraging. We spent most of our time in Costa Rica on the Pacific Coast, which was quite pleasant.Guest review byJoshuaUnited States - 8.0

In general the city hasn't much to it - the best part is getting out on tours to see some nature! Traffic is also terrible at peak times, sometimes tripling the time is takes to get somewhere. Overall I had an enjoyable experience, but was reliant on tours, organised activities, extensive research on restaurants and Uber to get around.Guest review byKarenIreland - 4.0

As much as we like the hotel we we're impressed with the city It was dirty, sad and unpleasant city while la fortuna is exact opposite I hope they work in San Jose and improve the city. It really could attack people if this city will clean up with some good parks and development Good luckGuest review byAnonymous - 8.0
There is much to do and see here…very spread out.
There is much to do and see here…very spread out. Might be wise budget-wise if longer stay to rent a car. Otherwise Uber is great here! The Green Arc Foundation, the art museum, walking tours, local food—Soda—, La Chimba, Sunday farmer markets, and refreshing climate are all so enjoyable!Guest review byKimberlieUnited States

- From $96.05 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.6Excellent - What previous guests thought, 166 reviewsWhat a tranquil spot in the heart of San Jose. From the outside you may think that it could be a little loud given its central location but once you walk through the front doors (and the stunning interior decor) you are met with complete serenity with a beautiful courtyard, lush greenery and beautiful Costa Rican architecture. The staff are incredible, extremely friendly, accommodating and always available. This hotel is a true gem, exactly what I needed to unwind after spending the day out in the busy streets of San Jose!Guest review byKirstinUnited Kingdom
- From $84.46 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.4Very Good - What previous guests thought, 1,207 reviewsHotel Aranjuez is located in a very nice area, some 15mins (safe) walking distance north of Plaza de Democracia. It has a jungle like garden in the backyard with flying birds and squirrels running around. Breakfast is also served there (the best we had in 3 weeks in Costa Rica) so you can already experience some "wild life" while being in the capital city. Rooms were very clean and quite spacious. Staff was really nice and helpfull.Guest review byKarstenGermany
- From $62.15 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.1Wonderful - What previous guests thought, 2,061 reviewsThe hotel is centrally located in San José, close to the downtown area, key museums and the Teatro Nacional, as well as to Barrio Escalante (a trendy inner city neighbourhood with great bars and restaurants). The staff were very welcoming and helpful in every respect, and the breakfast was fantastic.Guest review byEmmaAustralia
- From $127.69 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.4Very Good - What previous guests thought, 1,966 reviewsNot far from the airport, seems a quiet area but as it was Sunday I can't confirm. Big room, comfortable beds, big bathroom, very good standard. Big breakfast buffet (now after some days traveling in Costa Rica 4 stars hotels I can confirm it was one of the best!) Helpful staff.Guest review byJeanetteAustria
