Carmen

"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 San Nicolás Hotel Reviews

Barceló San José

8/10 Good

"This is an older hotel so don't expect a modern place. It is well kept and has its charm but somethings should be updated such as their computer system and carpets should be changed for hygiene reasons. The check in was extremely slow. There was virtually only one person checking in people, there was 2 people in front of me and it took over 25 minutes and I waited 2 hours for the room."

Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was amazing!"

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

8/10 Good

"Stayed here twice during our October trip. The rooms were clean, the pool was beautiful, the breakfast was generous and the staff was very personable. Only reason I gave 4 ⭐ is because there are no elevators and carrying luggage up to third floor was wild. Doable. But depending on your luggage it can be hard. So travel lightly 😉. Otherwise, we loved it! The AC was phenomenal, the rooms were clean and spacious. I have no complaints. We would stay here again for the convenience of how close it is to the airport."

Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are friendly and helpful. Having a free airport shuttle every 15 minutes is positive."

Hilton Garden Inn San Jose Airport City Mall

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staff, super close to SJO airport, comfortable, quiet rooms, good restaurant, airport shuttle, connected to a large mall to pick up any gear you may have for got to grab for your CR adventures.. you can never go wrong with Hilton comfort!"

Hotel Presidente

8/10 Good

"This hotel is located in a great location and very convenient to everything downtown. There are some room facing the pedestrian street so the noise is not bad. The room is spacious and linens were satisfactory. We did not like the entrance where you have to take 2 separate elevators in order to get to the room and the breakfast looks nice but is very minimal. I wish they had a fresh waffle or pancake maker. I probably would not stay at this hotel in the future."

Hotel Mango

10/10 Excellent

Gran Hotel Costa Rica, Curio Collection by Hilton
