Radisson San Jose-Costa Rica

Radisson San Jose-Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at Radisson San José was a great experience overall. The hotel is about a 20-minute walk from downtown, which made it easy for us to explore the city on foot each day. It offers exactly what you would expect from a city hotel, including plenty of parking and convenient access to main areas."
