Our take
Sleep Inn Paseo Las Damas stands on Avenida 3 between Calles 9 and 11, facing Parque Morazán and opposite Parque España and the contemporary art museum, so the National Theatre and the National Museum are each about five minutes away on foot. Its 86 rooms are air-conditioned and add a microwave, a fridge and a coffee maker. Magnolia, the restaurant, is open 24 hours, there is a gym, and parking is free, useful if you arrive by rental car. The casino on site is a plus or a minus depending on you. The 8.7 score rests on 3,351 reviews.
- ✓Park for free on site and leave the car there: the main museums around Parque Morazán are within a short walk.
- ✓Magnolia serves around the clock and also runs room service, handy after a late flight or before a pre-dawn shuttle to the coast.
- ✓Use the in-room microwave and fridge for a simple breakfast before an early tour departure.
- ✓The National Theatre and the National Museum are each listed at about five minutes' walk, so a museum morning needs no taxi.
- ✓The hotel has a casino; if you want a calm evening, ask for a room away from the entrance and the gaming floor when you check in.

Why guests love itSleep Inn Paseo Las Damas is a practical city base for families who want to see San José on foot for a day. The National Theatre and the National Museum are each about five minutes' walk, Parque Morazán and Parque España across the street give children green space, and rooms with a microwave, fridge and coffee maker make early breakfasts and snacks easy. The 24-hour Magnolia restaurant covers odd mealtimes after flights. There is no pool, though, and the casino on site means adults come and go late. I would book one night here to visit the museums, then move on to Arenal or the coast rather than staying longer in the capital.
