Budget
Maleku Hostel
Five minute drive from the airport. Also has free internet and free shuttle service to the airport. A clean, homey hostel. The best price $12 on Feb 2009 in a dorm. Also Private rooms for little more. Rate is the best in town.
There are a number of small hotels catering to budget travellers, however they tend to be somewhat overpriced due perhaps to the city's proximity to the international airport.
Vista Atenas Bed & Breakfast
A short 35 minutes from San José International Airport, the lush rolling countryside, with its bountiful fruit orchards and sweeping valley vistas, magically transforms as you ascend the winding mountain road that brings you to the vibrant celestial mosaic that surrounds Vista Atenas B&B.
Hotel Los Volcanes
Is right downtown and costs about $50 a night.
Hotel Pura Vida
Is just a kilometer or two from downtown and offers a more relaxed atmosphere for about $80 a night.

One of Costa Ricaâs newest and freshest B&Bs, we offer a slightly different take on vacationing in Costa Rica. Sustainability is our motto, and that encompasses everything from how the house was designed and built, to the vegetarian meals we serve, to our day-to-day operations, which include recycling and composting. We also have our community in mind â we are helping those less fortunate in San Ramon and Costa Rica by supporting Habitat for Humanity Costa Rica. Volunteer opportunities are available, just ask us.
