Hotels in San Jose – East Side
Traffic conditions in San Jose continue to get worse each day. On a bad traffic evening, it can take well over an hour to go from the Juan Santamaria Airport (SJO) to a hotel on the East side of the center.
For this reason, since 2023, Private Shuttles going to/from hotels and Airbnb’s located East of 15th Street (Calle 15) and/or South of 12th Avenue (Avenida 12) have an additional fee of $28 US per trip.
Here is a very incomplete list of hotels:
- Hotel Boutique Luz de Luna
- Ave del Paraiso
- Casa Conde
- Casa Orquideas
- Casa 69
- Hostal Urbano – San Pedro
- All hotels and Airbnb in Barrio Escalante
- Hotel Bougainvillea
- Hotel Boutique Jade
- Hotel Catalonia
- Hotel Le Bergerac
- Hotel M
- Hotel Milvia
Hotels and rental houses located further East in Curridabat or Tres Rios have additional fees depending on the exact location, and where you are coming from. Driving from the San Jose Airport to this part of the city can take 45 minutes to 1.5 hour, or more during rush hours or times of slow traffic.
Here is a list of some properties in these areas:
- Hotel Hyatt Place Pinares
- The Train Suites
- Cedar Cats Apartments
- Casa Marlui
- Casa Kibi Kibi
If you are coming from, or going to, the airport, we suggest you use hotels on the West side of the city.
If the hotel you are going to is not listed here, please contact us to confirm the exact price.
