Top San José Hotel Reviews

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

8/10 Good

"Free airport shuttle!"

Wyndham San Jose Herradura Hotel & Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"our stay was excellent: 1- a diverse sampling of Costa Rican Breakfast foods with hot coffee 2- the room was spacious, well appointed and the access to patio and the pool made us feel like we were in a resort 3-the pools provided choices for swimming and relaxing and sun bathing. Very well used by families and good to see them having fun 4- the hot pools were so attractive but the water a bit too cool to be comfortable for relaxing 5- the staff were always friendly and helpful (thanks Marvin) and the free shuttle service to the airport was efficient and easy to use, removing the anxiety that comes with travel. 6- biggest criticism is the bathrooms need some updating, tubs old, and shower heads were less than effective. 7- rooms were kept immaculate and cheerful staff were flexible with our schedule in cleaning the rooms Overall I would highly recommend the hotel"

AC Hotel San Jose Airport Belen

10/10 Excellent

"First the staff- immensely polite and helpful. Clean, elegant, detail oriented lobby, restaurant (s) and rooms. Very minimalist in design but everything is extremely well thought out and Marriott quality. Rooms were very quiet. Great rooftop bar and pool- minutes from the airport and whatever you do, don’t miss their 5 star breakfast buffet - it’s worth it! Also - close to modern mall to find anything you may have forgotten at home some great food trucks just outside, little market, pharmacy etc . We’ll be back!"
