#2/Family Comfort: A/C, 2 Double Beds and Balcony - Hotels for Rent in San José, San José, Costa Rica

Great rental in the middle of the city hustle bustle. Very centrally located, close to everything. Place is very clean and well-maintained.

Very nice place, clean and very cozy. Very close to the national theater, restaurants, supermarkets... I loved how attentive they are. As for Jenny, she responded to my messages very quickly, and the lady who received us was very nice. Definitely a place to go back to 🙏

Muy lindo el lugar, limpio y muy acogedor. Muy cerca del teatro nacional, restaurantes,supermercados... Me encantó lo atentos que son, en cuanto a Jenny me respondía mis mensajes muy rápidos y la señora que nos recibió muy linda. Definitivamente un lugar para regresar 🙏

Jenny was quick and responsive. I booked this place day of, and was able to check in with no problem. Overall, everything was as described!

It is a very quiet place. The room was really clean and the lock was electronic. Excellent place.

Es un lugar muy tranquilo, el cuarto estaba realmente limpio y la cerradura era electrónica, excelente lugar

Comfortable, clean and super centrally located place. We could walk everywhere. We loved it! We are very grateful to the staff. They are very friendly and helpful.

Lugar cómodo, limpio y súper céntrico. Todo lo pudimos recorrer caminando. Nos encantó! Muy agradecidas con el personal, son muy amables y servicial.

Great location within walking distance to everything and in a pretty safe area. It was a bit hard to find at first, but using “La Capital Hotel” in your GPS makes it much easier to locate. There is free parking available, but it closes at 8:30 PM. Since our flight landed at 10 PM, we had to park in a paid lot across the street, which cost about $25 USD for the night (hourly rates may vary). The place itself was clean, modern, and well-maintained. The service was great, and Jenny was very easy to reach and helpful throughout our stay.

The place is exactly as you would imagine it; it is in downtown San José, and the bus station is a 7-minute drive away, which is very convenient if you are only passing through San José.

El alojamiento está tal cual las imagines, está en el centro de San José, la terminal de buses está a 7 min en auto lo que es muy práctico si solo vas de paso a San José.

Loved the place! They looked after us very well

Nos encantó el lugar! Nos atendieron muy bien

Everything was great; I just had to ask for the communication and check-in instructions instead of having them sent in advance.

Todo muy bien, solo la comunicación e instrucciones para ingresar tuve que preguntar en lugar de que las enviaran con anticipación

We loved the place—great location and convenient, as it has a garage next door. Supermarket nearby.

Nos encantó el lugar, excelente ubicación y facilidad ya que tiene garaje al costado. Supermercado cerca.

We stayed here twice, on arrival and departure, the accommodation is comfortable and in a central area close to the bus station and a reasonable distance from the airport. On both occasions it seemed like a good option. The best thing about hosting is the attention of the housekeeper, a very nice and attentive place.

Nos quedamos aquí dos veces, en la llegada y en la salida, el alojamiento es cómodo y está en una zona céntrica cerca de la central de autobuses y a una distancia razonable del aeropuerto. En ambas ocasiones nos pareció una buena opción. Lo mejor del hospedaje es la atención del ama de llaves, una local muy agradable y atenta.

Everything is great as seen in the photo ;)

Very good place, it looks exactly like the photos, super clean, we were satisfied with having chosen this place for our stay. Also very central to all of San José

Muy bien el lugar, se ve exactamente igual a las fotos, súper aseado, quedamos satisfechos con haber elegido este lugar para nuestra estadía. Además que muy céntrico de todo San José

The apartment itself is very good. It's just the place where it is. Not very safe. Avoid after dark.

l'appartement en tant que tel est très bien. c'est juste le lieu où il se trouve. Pas très en sécurité. à éviter dès la nuit tombée.

The apartment is 10/10 in terms of cleanliness and is super nice inside. The person who greeted me at the reception was fantastic and Jenny was very attentive on the phone and chat, since my reservation was last minute. The location is not so good, since I went with children and the Uber told us not to leave that area, it was not safe. But thank God everything was great and we were comfortable. I was carrying too many suitcases and I didn't notice that they had stairs and my room was on the second floor; so the poor guy at the front desk had to help me a lot. Thank you very much 😊

El Apartemento está 10/10 en cuanto a limpieza y es súper bonito por dentro . Quien me recibió en la recepción estuvo fantástico y Jenny estuvo muy atenta en el teléfono y chat ; ya que mi reserva fue a última minuto . La ubicación si no es tan buena , ya que fui con niños y el Uber nos dije que no saliera de esa zona , no era segura . Pero gracias a Dios todo súper bien y estuvimos cómodos . Llevaba demasiadas maletas y no me fijé que tenían escaleras y mi hab estaba en el segundo piso ; así que el pobre chico de la recepción le tocó ayudarme a full . Mil gracias 😊

Amazing host and great place! Highly recommend.

Clean, tidy, bright, comfortable place, the only thing missing was a kettle and glasses.

Lugar limpio, ordenado, luminoso, cómodo, solo faltó contar con hervidor y vasos.

Everything was great! Everyone was very attentive, the only thing is that there are no parking lots nearby that do not charge per hour (approximately 1000 colones) we had to walk a few blocks to find one that did not have this rate.

Todo muy bien! Todos fueron muy atentos, lo único que es que no hay estacionamientos cerca que no cobren por hora (aproximadamente 1000 colones) tuvimos que caminar algunas cuadras para encontrar uno que no tuviera esta tarifa.

book it 1. It is in the very center of Costa Rica, so for tourists the location is good 2. It has a cafeteria downstairs that serves delicious and cheap breakfasts 3. Everything is at hand. EVERYTHING from good sodas to eat, craft market and food to die for, from local to fast (the empanadas on the corner were good) 4. The lady who receives you is a sweetheart and she exchanged dollars to colones at the best price I've seen, since at the airport they rip you off 5. Very safe, they have an electronic entrance and it is not freely accessible. They are apartments but they are comfortable. things that could be better 1. nothing :) 2. maybe a source of pure water would be a very good plus

bookeenlo 1. esta en el mero centro de costa rica osea para turistas es buena la ubicación 2. tiene una cafetería abajo que da unos desayunos delisiosos y baratos 3. todo está a la mano TODO desde sodas buenas para comer mercado de artesanías y comida a morir desde local hasta rápida (las empanadas de la esquina estaban buenas) 4. la señora que recibe es un amor y nos cambio dólares a colones al mejor precio que he visto ya que en el aereopuerto te ensartan 5. bien seguro, tienen entrada electrónica y no es de libre acceso son apartamentos pero son cómodos. cosas que podrían mejorar 1. nada :) 2. quizá una fuente de agua pura sería un plus muy bueno

The place is very nice, clean and comfortable. The location is excellent, it made it very easy for us to get around. Excellent

El lugar es muy agradable, limpio y cómodo. La ubicación es excelente, nos facilitó mucho desplazarnos. Excelente

Excellent, I had a simple situation when I left and they quickly responded and helped me. I would come back again

Excelente tuve una situación simple al salir y rápido me respondieron y me ayudaron volvería nuevamente

We already rented it at the beginning of our stay for one night, and it was perfect like the first time! Clean and comfortable to spend time before or after the plane. Plus, we had the option to park the car nearby for free, which is a luxury in San Jose.

Nous l’avons déjà loué au début de notre séjour pour une nuit, et cela a été parfait comme la première fois ! Propre et confortable pour passer une avant ou après l’avion. Petit plus, nous avons eu la possibilité de garer la voiture à proximité gratuitement ça c’est un luxe dans San Jose.

Clean, well-equipped home with air conditioning. Secure with a presence at the reception for advice. Nearby trade. Comfortable overnight stay

Logement propre, bien équipé avec la Clim. Sécurisé avec une présence à l’accueil pour des conseils. Commerce proche. Séjour de nuit confortable

Very central, very nice and clean. Exactly the same as the photos

Muy centrico, muy bonito y limpio. Exactamente igual a las fotos

Excellent place, as described. Clean and with everything you need to have a good stay, the staff is incredibly friendly. 100% recommended.

Excelente lugar, tal cual está en la descripción. limpio y con todo lo necesario para tener una buena estancia, el personal es increíblemente amable. 100% recomendable.

Everything is exactly as shown in the photos. Very good service

todo a corde a las fotos. muy buen servicio

Nice stay, the woman at the reception only spoke spanish, but it was fine. Easy check in and check out

Clean, tidy, good location, everything is relatively close, excellent service provided by the staff.

Limpio,prolijo ubicación buena todo queda relativamente cerca , excelente atención brinda el personal.

Everything went well. We had a very nice reception. What we particularly liked is that we felt very safe. There is a lot of guarded parking nearby and downstairs in the house is a cafe where you can get breakfast from 6 in the morning. When we are in San José, we would always choose this place.

Alles bestens gelaufen. Wir hatten einen sehr netten Empfang. Was uns besonders gut gefallen hat ist, dass wir uns sehr sicher gefühlt haben. Es gibt viele bewachte Parkplätze in der Nähe und unten im Haus ist ein Café wo man schon ab 6 Uhr morgens Frühstück bekommen kann. Wenn wir in San José sind würden wir uns immer wieder für diese Unterkunft entscheiden.

The place was very clean and had two spacious beds, making it comfortable for our stay. However, communication and details could be improved. For instance, the Airbnb profile didn’t display the name of the place, the address could have been more precise, and there was some initial confusion with the payment. Thankfully, this was resolved quickly. While these are minor issues, they can make a big difference for international visitors. There was some noise from outside, but that’s to be expected in a busy city. On the bright side, there’s a lovely café right next door, perfect for breakfast. Overall, the stay was good, the place was comfortable, and it looked exactly like the pictures.

Logement propre et qui correspond à la description!

This is a very nice hostel. The room is clean and comfortable. Location is great if you plan to explore the center of San José. Digo and Jenny were flexible with the checking which helped us to save time and explore the city.

This was a great Airbnb to stay at. The room was exceptionally comfy and clean. There was a hot shower and towels available. The beds were VERY comfy and there was plenty of space for our things. The little refrigerator and microwave is perfect for quick breakfasts or late night snacks. And there is a couple convenience stores and food places right around the corner to grab a bite to eat. The location is great if you’re looking for things to do around the area during the day. However, it can be a little hard for Uber to find, so just be careful with that. And it’s a little sketchy at night, but if you’re careful with yourself and your belongings, you should be fine. Buddy system is key. Overall, great experience and excellent quality. 😊❤️

Excellent place, super recommended without Duda, I would book it again...

Exelente lugar super recomendable sin Duda lo volveria a reservar...

Very comfortable, it has everything you need for a pleasant stay. I really liked it and super attentive thank you 🫂

Muy confortable, tiene todo lo necesario para una estadía amena. me gustó mucho y super atentos gracias 🫂

When we arrived I realized i had not been contacted about the check in instructions. I contacted them and they responded quickly (might have been on me since I had not sent them my information). Also, we we’re not warned about the lack of parking. There’s a parking building right next to the airbnb but we have to pay out of pocked and it closes at 8pm. We had to park across the street in a 24 hour parking lot and had to pay by the hour. We asked if we could be reimbursed but I did not receive a response. The place itself is clean and I love that they leave cups and plates for us to use. I only met Diego and he was nice and friendly. The complaint we have is that there was very little water coming from the shower when we arrived and we were disappointed after traveling for so long. Throughout the night we did not have running water! We couldn’t flush the toilet or wash our hands. We had to use the water bottles we had to brush our teeth and wash our face and hands.

A really great place to stay in Drake Bay. There was a really nice calm atmosphere as it was a family run air bnb. Beautiful views and a really spacious room

A super comfortable, clean, and very central place. It has everything you occupy... hot shower, TV with Netflix, cloths, shampoo, clean beds. The only thing would be to have clearer instructions to get into the hotel-- a video on how to use the QR code could be. The owners' son was there to help us get in. Thank you for kindly hosting us

Un lugar súper cómodo, limpio y muy céntrico. Tiene todo lo q uno ocupa...ducha caliente, TV con Netflix, paños, shampoo, camas limpias. Lo único sería tener instrucciones más claras para entrar al hotel--un video sobre cómo usar el código QR podría ser. Igual el hijo de los dueños estuvo ahí para ayudarnos entrar. Muchas gracias por hospedarnos amablemente

the location around the cathedral ,  the apartment very well , the place feels safe [building] but the surroundings are not .

la ubicación a la  vuelta de la catedral ,  el departamento muy bien , el lugar se siente seguro [edificio] pero los alrededores no .

The place was perfect, very nice and comfortable and also in the center.

El alojamiento era perfecto, muy bonito y cómodo y además en el centro.

We stayed one night. Everything was very nice. It was clean. And the Communication quick & friendly.

The room was spotless, very comfortable and the town was perfect, everything is very close. Diego and Jenny's attention was super special and very attentive to any circumstance 24/7.

La habitación estaba impecable, muy cómodo y la localidad estaba perfecta, todo queda muy cerca. La atención de Diego y Jenny fue super especial y muy atentos a cualquier circunstancia 24/7.

The listing was amazing! I was traveling from here to Osa and this was the best accommodation for that price among my stays! The neighborhood is safe in the daytime but becomes a bit sketchy at night when all the workers leave the area. But I would still stay there again because it had all the modern amenities I loved at a great price. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom with a rain shower was amazing. The design of the airbnb was wonderful and welcoming. Diego was quick to respond to all my questions. My only suggestion is to request the geo location link since there were 3 streets with the same exact name and it was hard to find at night.

Great host, very responsive. Place looked exactly as pictured.

I have stayed at many AirBNB places and this one is the only one that was better than the photos. Spacious, secure (qr code required to enter building), and very modern/new furniture. Nice bathroom. I only stayed for two days but would recommend this place for much longer stays. The bed is very comfortable. Had two very good nights of sleep. Very very comfortable and well worth the price.

the price was very high for that location. I could find many better homes in better locations with same price.

Perfect everything. My next trips to the capital, the hosting will definitely be with you. Thank you very much

Perfecto todo. Mis próximos viajes a la capital, el hospedaje definitivamente va hacer con ustedes. Muchísimas gracias

Diego and Jenny responded in time! The room is inside the Hostel, the area is fine during the day and at night you can feel unsafe due to many homeless people sleeping in front, however the location is super central, 2 blocks from the National Theater and the Gold Museum, room #2 is on the side from the street it can be a lot of noise if you are a light sleeper, it has a/c that makes some noise, necessary utensils with a minibar that really cools down (this is appreciated) the space is good, the double beds are very good, the bathroom and amenities are very good Without a doubt, if you need to rest, I recommend it.

Very modern the apartment ; I really liked it. Very clean ! I like that it's located so close to downtown San Jose . The cleaning lady was attentive . I give it 8/10 … it was given a 10/10 but the bulla in the evenings and in the mornings they are not very nice. I would recommend this place but bring earplugs 😀 Thank you very friendly !👏🏾👌🏾

Muy moderno el apartamento ; me gustó mucho . Muy limpio ! Me gusta que está ubicando tan cerca del centro de San José . La señora de la limpieza fue atenta . Le doy 8/10 … le fuese dado un 10/10 pero la bulla por las noches y en las mañanas no son muy agradables. Recomiendo este lugar , pero traigan tapones de oídos 😀 Gracias muy amables !👏🏾👌🏾

A UNIQUE experience!!! An oasis in the center of SAN JOSÉ, I recommend it and every time I go back to Costa Rica will always be my alternative of lodging…

Una experiencia ÚNICA!!! Un oasis en el centro de SAN JOSÉ, lo recomiendo y cada que vuelva a a Costa Rica siempre será mi alternativa de hospedaje…

The unit has the feels of a hotel room; it was very clean and newly renovated, so the furniture and amenities were in good shape. It is conveniently located, very close to the center of the city and walkable to the main street, shopping, museums, Mercado Central, etc. During the day, the streets right outside are filled with people going through their daily lives which we loved being a part of. The area gets quiet at night (after the locals go home) but feels safe especially if you are in a group. The hosts were flexible with check-in and check-out, responsive and willing to help. The senora working as a receptionist/cleaning person is also nice. Wifi was great. Our experience was pleasant.

This room was perfect, very cozy and clean, the balcony is also beautiful and the rest of the hostel looks just as clean and beautiful.  There is a little store right next to it on the right hand side, and a barbershop on the left (very convenient) there are many restaurants and shopping places all around.  Lots of things to do.  Diego & Jenny were very flexible with my check-in, I greatly appreciated that.  They are quick to answer your questions if you need anything.  I definitely recommend their hostel La Capital! 💯
