Featuring a rooftop swimming pool, Studio Hotel offers rooms with free high-speed WiFi and views of the surrounding Central Valley.

The room was nice and clean was as advertised. The bed was comfortable. The A/C worked. The breakfast staff were lovely and friendly and helpful, but the front desk staff were a bit too bust chatting with each other to help sometimes. The breakfast was great and coffee was provided throughout the day which was helpful as I had to work. The art was just wonderful and really made the place unique.

This property is located only 500 metres from Parque Metropolitano La Sabana Park in central San José. It offers an outdoor pool, hot tub, and a fitness centre.

A great starting point after taking 2 international flights to get some rest and get ready for our adventure around Costa Rica. The staff were amazing, rooms were clean and large. If the pool was heated I would have given it 10/10 but my 2 daughters froze getting in.

This modern hotel near Costa Rica’s capital of San Jose features a casino, free Wi-Fi and a 24-hour fitness centre. Guests enjoy several on-site restaurants and bars and an outdoor swimming pool.

We stayed for only one night. We opted for a larger room and it was of a good size. Shower pressure was ok without being great. We arrived very early in the morning after 22 hours of traveling and went straight to bed. Our room upgrade gave us entry to a small breakfast room in the 7th floor. Excellent staff there who cooked us an omelette and looked after us well. Good selection of food and a nice coffee albeit from a machine.

    Lovely little boutique hotel. A great stop off for a night following a long flight. Not too far from the airport. The restaurant is lovely, very tasty cocktails and the gardens and pool area very tranquil. A little oasis away from the hustle and bustle outside the gates.

    The design of the common rooms in the house by the pool was very stylish and comfortable with attention to detail, with loads of armchairs, sofas, books to borrough - both downstairs and upstairs. Lovely art throughout. The food was delicious, perfectly cooked and served to order. Allergies taken into account. Staff was extremely helpful and lovely at reception, restaurant and housekeeping. Good view from sizeable room. Most comfortable bed of whole Costa Rica journey.
