The lady of the house makes ypu feel really welcome. I will be back before I leave.

Set just 6.2 km from La Sabana Metropolitan Park, F&M Guesthouse provides accommodation in San José with access to a garden, a shared lounge, as well as full-day security. The property has garden and quiet street views, and is 50 km from Poas National Park. The bed and breakfast also offers free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. The breakfast was absolutely amazing! Additionally, Fabien went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable, got settled into Costa Rica, and literally went above and beyond in every single way to help me with whatever I needed. The home is small, but extremely clean. He was very respectful of my space and my needs and I felt completely safe and comfortable. This is a property I would highly recommend to anyone looking to spend a day or two in San Jose. His local knowledge and willingness to share that and assist me was truly exceptional. I will encourage any family and friends heading to Costa Rica to start their trip with him.

Situated in Platanillo, Paradiselodge Jungleguesthouse features accommodation 18 km from Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary. Guests can benefit from a patio and a picnic area. The property is allergy-free and is located 700 metres from Nauyaca Waterfalls. Unfortunately we were there during a low travel season so breakfast and beverages by the pool were not available but that didn't make our stay any less enjoyable. We also got caught with some prett bad rain so unfortunately didn't check out much of the property surroundings but from what we could see it was a beautiful place and one I would go back to for sure. The pool area looked like it would be a great deal of fun with more guests and nicer weather.

Offering a casino, gym and free WiFi zone, this modern Sleep Inn Hotel Paseo Las Damas is situated opposite España Park and the Modern Art Museum.

Costa Rica’s National Museum and Atlántico Train Station are just 500 metres from Sleep Inn Hotel Paseo Las Damas. Juan Santamaría International Airport is a 20-minute drive away. The hotel offers free private parking. Everything. The fact that it is right next to Casino Colonial is fantastic as it is the best casino in San Jose by far. I have stayed here many times and will always come back.
