“Radisson San Jose-Costa Rica balances accessibility with surprisingly private amenities, including a gym with sauna. Its location is ideal for travelers eager to immerse themselves in local culture. I think the on-site restaurants make it a solid choice, particularly Acuarelas, with its Costa Rican flavors and gluten-free options.”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests often appreciate the Radisson San Jose's spacious and well-lit rooms, along with the comfortable beds that ensure good sleep. Many enjoy starting their day with the tasty breakfast buffet, sometimes even dining outside near the pool. While generally well-maintained, a few guests have noted that the stonework outside could use some cleaning. Its location allows for walks to downtown San José, approximately 20 minutes away, offering convenient access to the city center.

wide spreadcentrally located hotelout of order jacuzziclosed bar

The breakfast had a wide spread and downtown was a few minutes walk. It served the purpose of a clean centrally located hotel.

The jacuzzi was out of order. It was too cold for babies to swim in the pool. Also at 7:30pm everything around the pool area was dark, and the bar was closed. It was hard to find where the actual pool and jacuzzi were.
