My standard room was stunning - the entire room was refurbished and repainted, the bathroom too! The LCD tv and mini bar were a nice treat as well. Check in was a breeze and the concierge was helpful when I requested assistance. The gym is located up on the 7th floor. You have a panoramic view of the city from... more

Having just spent a week a this hotel I can say that I would stay there again without hesitation, although housekeeping could definitely improve. Our room, a junior suite was large and reasonably well-appointed, but the room was clearly not vacuumed daily (possibly not at all during our stay) and amenities were not regularly replaced (shampoo and, especially toilet paper).... more

Right in the centre of the city on a pedestrian avenue, a very clean and modern hotel. The rooms have all required facilities and the service was excellent. A great bar and restaurant on the ground floor open onto the pedestrian avenue giving a really good atmosphere to the place. My only negative comment would be the cost of internet... more

There is a small gated and well-guarded parking lot with the entrance at the side of the hotel. Parking is free. The hotel and rooms are very very... more

Fortunately, we had earplugs and recommend their... more

After sleeping in the airport and almost missing half our perfectly planned trip we pulled up at Hotel Presidente. We pulled off a very busy street in a busy part in the middle of San Jose to a large gate. It looks beautiful once you get closer! The staff was less than excited to see us but they did us... more

Just returned from seven nights in San Jose and wanted to add my two-cents worth to the reviews by others. My wife and I travel extensively and I've written a number of other reviews on our travels. While we usually enjoy staying in the all-inclusive beach resorts, this time we wanted to stay in a central location and explore the... more
