Nice place to spend the night!
The shuttle service was overwhelmed with large groups and we were unable to get the attention of the person coordinating the service. We ended up taking a taxi, which wasn’t to bad since the hotel is so close to the airport. Upon arrival, the check-in was easy and staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was nice and breakfast was good.

Very convenient for the airport
We had a late arrival and early start the following day and this was the perfect stopover. We booked this in advance bed and breakfast. It’s a short free shuttle from the airport. Reception quick easy checkin and friendly. Rooms large and comfortable nothing fancy but everything works and had a good nights sleep. Breakfast was basic but all ok and great coffee ! Shuttle back to the airport again free and super service.

Good Airport Hotel But a Few things Not As Good as They Used to Be
We have stayed at the SJO Hampton many times over the years. It had been our favourite of the airport hotels. No surprises. It is still a solid choice. It’s very convenient if you are arriving or leaving. However, a few things are not as good as they used to be. Our room was clean and the bed comfortable. The lighting in the room could be better. The airport shuttle works well. This time we landed at the Domestic Terminal and called and it was there in minutes to pick us up. Any staff we interacted with seemed pleasant. Check in went smoothly. We did not try the relatively new restaurant as we took an Uber to one of our favourite places in Alajuela. We used to enjoy the fact that complimentary coffee, tea and hot chocolate were available all day in the lobby. This feature is gone. The included breakfast though still very adequate is really not as good as it used to be. There is less choice and did not seem quite as tasty. The Hampton is still a good choice for a hotel right near the airport.

Really impressed!
This was above and beyond your typical chain hotel. We had dinner and cocktails (try the Tropical Daquiri!) in the restaurant and the food was delicious and beautifully presented. The included breakfast was also above and beyond with healthy juice smoothies (green one day, beet the next), fresh papaya and watermelon, rice and beans, plantains, and rice pudding in addition to the usual eggs, sausage, cereal and yogurt. The hotel and restaurant staff were all very friendly and helpful. The shuttle ran continously which was great when one of us had to leave for the airport at 3:30am. There was a nice pool area and the rooms were clean and quiet with big soft pillows. We stayed here three different times over the course of our 2 weeks in Costa Rica and each time was consistently excellent.

Great stay!
Really wonderful staff and so easy if you are flying in or out of San Jose. We ended up having dinner at the hotel and were very pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food was and what a great list of cocktails they offered. Our room was very clean and quiet, even though the hotel was packed. Great breakfast. This hotel is an excellent deal for the price!
