Cecelia, her staff and her children Irene and Roberto went above and beyond on my stay. I felt cared for like an intimate family member. Classical music playing in the morning and her staff providing food to the birds and squirrels each morning from the breakfast view made me feel like I was in a storybook.

    Vibrant busy city with lots of interesting things to see and do. Name a brand and you can find it in the stores although it may be a bit on the pricey side. The one thing that struck us almost immediately was how clean things are, and the people are warm, welcoming and patient with us folks who can barely speak Spanish.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    To start off I thought the value was exceptional. It worked out at about £28UK pounds. This was obviously for two people and it included breakfast. This was used as a stop gap for a late night flight to San Jose , our holiday pretty much started after this stop over. In regards to value and for what was needed, I would recommend it. We used an Uber from San Jose Airport which cost about 12 UK pounds that was at about 11 pm Costa Rican time.

    Great apartment in a great location. It was our first stop in Costa Rica and we can recommend this place to all tourists who arrive to the country. Plenty of bars, restaurants and cafes in the neighborhood (within 5 minutes walk) in a safe area. It is a 30 minutes walk to the downtown. Apartment and the building are new. Easy to get there by taxi from the airport.

    Our stay was short since we had a 1:30 am flight but it was well worth spending 8 hours here. Ken was very welcoming, the hotel is beautiful and was within walking distance to several restaurants. It is located on a golf course in a very safe area. If we come back to San Jose we'll be staying here again.
