5. Sleep Inn Hotel Paseo Las Damas

Carmen, 0.6 km from Central Park

"My preferred place to stay in San Jose (have probably stayed here at least 20 times, and I have stayed at many places in town so I have a fair idea of what's "normal" here even for the high-end hotels). Large and clean rooms, great location and staff. Only downside is there is no restaurant/bar in the hotel, rather in the separate casino which is a bit sleazy for my tastes. But there are decent restaurants within a short walk."

Top Central Park Hotel Reviews

Radisson San Jose-Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"Siempre muy limpio y todo muy cerca"

Sleep Inn Hotel Paseo Las Damas

10/10 Excellent

"A very good breakfast as usual."

Urban Green Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"The hotel is located in the city center, so it’s walkable to the national theater, plaza/museum, parks, and other attractions. It’s next to a casino and feels more like an apartment building than a traditional hotel. The staff were very friendly and our room was extremely spacious. It even had a small kitchen area but there were no pots, utensils or plates whatsoever. We were under the impression that it offered a buffet breakfast but you actually ordered from the menu. Simple local foods. For the space and location, we’d consider staying here if we visit San Jose again."

Gran Hotel Costa Rica, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Very good location, for business stay or 1-2 nights is perfect, dinner was good, breakfast divine. Clean nice hotel"

Hotel Presidente

8/10 Good

"I'm the heart of downtown. Lovely boutique hotel, modern, chic decor. Just a jewel in the middle of the action. Nice staff, decent breakfast and great bed."

Hotel Santo Tomás

8/10 Good

"The location is perfect, just a short walk to visit the Central Market, the National Theater, the plaza, and the museums. This beautiful, old hotel has excellent staff who help you enjoy the free breakfast choices, the pool, and their amazing city. The parking is secure and included. Shower grab bars and bigger towels would improve this great hotel."

Balmoral Hotel San José CR, Historic District

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente localización para ver todo lo relevante de San José, caminando si así lo deseas. El personal del hotel es muy atento. Las comidas en su restaurante El Patio, muy buenas, al igual que el desayuno incluido. Hasta un desayuno carry-out nos dieron el día de nuestra salida, que era a las 4:00 am. Tuvimos un inconveniente con el aire acondicionado de la habitación y nos resolvieron de manera atenta y rápida. Hasta un upgrade de la habitación nos dieron. 100% recomendado!"

San José Downtown Suites

"Really nice staff at front desk. Quite hard to find the hotel as no sign outside."
