San José hotels and hostels

Accommodations in San José run the gamut from grim little boxes to luxurious boutique retreats. You’ll find the cheapest sleeps in the city center, with nicer midrange and top-end spots clustered in more well-to-do districts such as Barrio Amón and La Sabana. Also worthwhile for their charm, safety and serenity are the adjacent neighborhoods of Los Yoses and San Pedro, which lie within walking distance from downtown.
