San Jose Hotels with Bars

The hostel is very nice and stylishly furnished and is very well located near the city center, so that all the big museums and the theater as well as many bars, cafes and restaurants are within walking distance. It is a hostel, so you can't expect absolute peace and quiet, but I didn't find it disturbing. Street noise is negligible. The staff is very friendly and helpful, everything is clean. By car from the airport, the journey takes about 40 minutes outside of rush hour.

The room was clean and tidy, the breakfast was great, there was a menu to choose from, fruit coffee juices were available, and there were many public areas suitable for group travel. No elevator is a problem

Parque del Lago Boutique Hotel is a well-equipped hotel in a great location, making it a convenient base for exploring San José. The staff were professional, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. The rooms and facilities are well maintained and offer everything needed for a comfortable visit. The only area that could be improved is the breakfast buffet, which was somewhat average and lacked the warmth and character that the rest of the hotel provides. Overall, a pleasant stay with good value and an excellent location.

We were informed after the cancellation deadline that they would not be providing shuttle service. We had to take a taxi for 35,000 CRC and they refused to refund us. The buffet was just average; we expected better given our previous experiences with the chain. The sheets were stained, and we had neither washcloths nor hand towels. For one night, it's acceptable.

The hotel is half an hour away from the airport. The rooms are large and clean. It provides the famous local Britt coffee. The breakfast variety is OK, and it changes every day. The waiter will enthusiastically pour coffee or orange juice. However, some single rooms may have a connecting door next door. If you mind, you can inform the front desk in advance.

I stayed in a 4-bedroom dorm, great space, several guest houses and accommodation combined. I could use the pool and the restaurant of the backpackers next door. Check in smooth, easy, friendly staff, coffee for free. I picked the location as it was central yet not right downtown. Great Irish bar around the corner. The only thing you need to be aware of is the nearby train tracks. The train signals when passing, yet none passed at night, so all good.

🌟 5-Star Review for Hostel Casa Colón, San José I had a fantastic stay at Hostel Casa Colón — it exceeded my expectations in every way. The location is incredibly convenient, especially if you’re heading to or from the airport or bus terminals. The staff were welcoming and helpful, offering great local tips. My room was clean, secure, and surprisingly quiet despite being in the city. The common areas are stylish and spacious, with a cozy on-site restaurant that serves excellent breakfast and coffee. It truly felt more like a boutique guesthouse than a typical hostel. Highly recommend for solo travelers, couples, or anyone looking for comfort and value in San José.

The location is very central, with many options to choose from. The only downside is the lack of on-site parking. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent, delicious, and plentiful. The rooms were quite nice, the air conditioning was quiet, and there was hot water in the bathrooms. The only improvement would be to provide glasses in the rooms for drinking water.

Book only one night needed to be closed to the airport prior to leaving Costa Rica. I arrived too early to check in so I left my backpack in the storage and went sightseeing. Rooms were cleaned however my issues was with the cleanliness of the bathrooms I wish they were cleaner . Shower’s didn’t have any hooks or shelves and I didn’t have anywhere to but my stuff other then the floor. I found a very cockroach in the shower which was also gross. Bathrooms could definitely be cleaner and furniture could be less broken done. Definitely more on the budget friendly side.

Hôtel bien placé pour aller ce balader dans l’avenue centrale, proche de tout à pied, un parking payant est proche dans la rue derrière pour votre voiture afin d’être tranquille pour 1000 crc par heure.
