Apartotel La Sabana is located 1.5 km from central San José and offers self-catering accommodation with free WiFi access, breakfast included with the rate and an outdoor pool.

The apartments at Apartotel La Sabana feature a flat-screen cable TV, air conditioning and a private bathroom that comes with a hot-water shower. A safety deposit box and a fan are also included. Some units include a seating area. We had great time in this hotel after very long flights from Europe. This is great place to relax after long journey and to fix things before tour around Costa Rica. Hotel itself offers nice and quite big swimmingpool, tasty and filling breakfast, and what was also very nice - there was continental breakfast buffet before the actual breakfast - that's a nice option for those who wake up early. Staff was very friendly and room very comfortable. There was Mobile Network office nearby so I could buy Costa Rican Sim Card and ATM to withdraw some cash. I find this hotel perfect to start a journey in Costa Rica. 2 nights is reasonable choice :-)
