Good to know
Good to Know
- Almost all coworking operators in San José quote (and often charge) prices in US dollars rather than colones, even though the colón is the official currency — worth confirming which currency you'll actually be billed in before signing up.
- Escazú and Santa Ana coworking spaces (Workings Escazú, WeWork Escazú Village, Republic Workspace Santa Ana, The Train Business Hub) tend to be more corporate, upscale and car-oriented, while Barrio Escalante and downtown options (Gracias Cowork Escalante, Cowork CR, Impact Hub) are more boutique, walkable and community-focused.
- If you want to sleep and work in the same building, Costa Rica Workstation (attached to Costa Rica Backpackers & Guesthouse) and Selina CoWork are the two clearest hostel/hotel-plus-coworking hybrids in the city.
- Several chain-style spaces (Republic Workspace, Workings Escazú, WeWork) don't publish day-pass or monthly rates online — you'll need to contact them directly or book a tour for a quote.
- Gracias Cowork Escalante keeps limited hours (roughly 7:30am–5:00pm), which can be inconvenient if you need to take late-night or early-morning calls with other time zones.
- Almost all coworking and coliving pricing in San José is quoted and paid in US dollars, not colones — the colón figures here are our conversion for reference, not what you'll actually be billed.
- San José doesn't currently have a Soho House-style elite private club scene; the closest thing nomads will find is a coworking space with a few rooms or a hostel attached, which is a more communal, budget-to-midrange vibe than a polished members' club.
- Always confirm current pricing and availability directly with these spaces before arrival — small, independently run coliving operators in Costa Rica are known to change hours, prices, or even close with little online update.
