1 hotel in and around Belén & Cariari seen below the public rate in the last 7 days, typically 40% less than Booking.com.
A practical convention base, not a substitute for staying in the city. Belén & Cariari offer a solid hotel selection for convention stays, but little doorstep activity and weak sightseeing access.
Belén and Cariari work best when your itinerary revolves around the Costa Rica Convention Center, western business addresses or an airport transfer. Around Ciudad Cariari and Los Arcos, the setting is residential rather than metropolitan. Dinner may be nearby, but central museums and San José’s main restaurant districts are separate outings requiring transport.
Check the actual street and access arrangements before assuming nearby addresses connect easily on foot. Some properties offer convenient airport transport, but that is not universal. Choose this for conference logistics or a quiet stop between journeys; skip it if you want an independently walkable city break.

Typical rates with Axel here run from $72 a night at Hotel Puerta del Sol - San Jose Airport to $267 at Costa Rica Marriott Hotel Hacienda Belen (last 30 days).
