5. Sleep Inn Hotel Paseo Las Damas

Carmen, 0.6 km from Central Park

"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."

Barceló San José

"The hotel was very nice, the beds were comfortable and the breakfast was great. I would definitely stay here again. It only took about 11 minutes to get back to the airport also."

Hotel Santo Tomás

"Hotel Santo Tomas is a great find in the heart of old San Jose. From the outside it looks like nothing special, but once you get in, you realize it has lots of charm, a super hospitable staff, and a true historic feel. It’s not a typical tourist hotel but that’s part of the charm. I really enjoyed my stay there and recommend it warmly."
