“The hotel is perfectly situated near downtown San Jose attractions.”view full review

The comfortable Hotel El Descanso San Jose is located approximately 600 metres from Parque Jirafas, offering 11 rooms, Wi-Fi, and a car park. Thanks to its prime location, this smoke-free hotel stands within 25 minutes' walk of the Old Customs House, which is a great place to have a fun time.

Location

Jade Archaeological Museum is not far from the hotel, while the historic theater "National Theatre of Costa Rica" is nestled just 1.4 km away. The Descanso San Jose offers proximity to such natural sights as the tropical park "Parque Nacional" (2 km) and the 72 - hectare La Sabana Metropolitan Park (1.8 km).

The accommodation is also a short way from Metropolitan Park. There is the La Sabana Park about a 30-minute walk away, and Terminal Comtrasuli bus station is right near this San Jose hotel.

For those travelling from afar, Tobias Bolanos International airport is 15 minutes' drive away.
