Top National Center of Art and Culture Hotel Reviews

Hotel Fleur De Lys

10/10 Excellent

"Yes……"

Viajero San José Hostel

8/10 Good

"Room clean and comfortable, bathroom clean and good condition. Kitchen area clean and easy to use, staff very friendly and helpful. Location isn’t ideal, wouldn’t recommend walking anywhere as high risk of straying into unsafe areas."

Radisson San Jose-Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, good buffet breakfast and very friendly staff!"

Balmoral Hotel San José CR, Historic District

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel."

Costa Rica Guesthouse

8/10 Good

"Decent rooms for the price paid/ for a hostel. It could have a warmer vibe. However for travellers its the perfect place espacially for the price. And note that most importantly its highly secure both for the visitors and for the vehicle as it has the private and locked parcking which is rare in such a location. Great."

Hotel Cultura Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay in a basic but adequate room. The only concern was a hallway light that was on a very, very quick timer, which made the hallway too dark and scary. Room was a bit noisy with traffic below, even though it was on the fifth floor. Breakfast was very good. Great location"

Gran Hotel Costa Rica, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Hotel posizionato nel centro della città di fianco all’unica cosa che vale la pena di vedere a San Jose: il teatro Nazionale. Colazione insufficiente per un hotel 5 stelle"

Hotel Santo Tomás

10/10 Excellent

"Great location.Hot tub and pool were very enjoyable.Safe and clean."

Otoya1907 Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful staff, the room was very clean and had everything we needed. Perfect for a couple nights in San Jose."
