This was my second stay at the Hotel Presidente and like the first time it was great. I booked a Grand Spa Suite with a view of the city. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful at all times, from the clerks at the front desk to the housekeeping service. The stay includes breakfast at the News Cafe. Breakfast... more

I would not recommend this hotel. My daughter and I stayed there for 2 nights prior a departure to another hotel. Presidente made the arrangements for interbus and they took us to the wrong city and the wrong hotel. Interbus looked at my hotel reservations fot the other hotel before departure as well and informed us after 3 hrs. of... more

Better accomodations than most hotels in the downtown area. Restaurant was recently refurbished and very good breakfast included in price. Rooms are a little small but modern. Bringing in female guests can be a little tricky. There is no extra charge but if she is wearing a mini skirt or tanktop she will not be allowed in. The working girls... more

We stayed at Hotel Presidente for a night upon our arrival in Costa Rica before heading to Manuel Antonio and Monteverde for several days. We stayed in a standard double room (full/queen bed, twin bed). We arrived at around 2:30 pm (check-in is 3 pm). We were given keys to Room 25 on the 5th floor and when we arrived... more

A buddy and I stayed here for 4 nights in October, 2007. It is located on a pedestrian only street, which is convenient and well patrolled. There is a security guard at the door at all times, so there were no beggers, prostitutes or other "non-guests" loitering in the hotel. There are taxis outside of the hotel 24-7. There is... more

A friend and I stayed at the Hotel Presidente one night, on arrival in San Jose, then flew to the coast for four nights, then returned to the Presidente for our final three nights in Costa Rica. We arrived fairly early the first day, before noon, but were able to check in right away. On our return from the coast,... more

Based on reviews and the beautiful pictures, we decided to book Hotel Presidente. The location was great, amenities were nice too. However, when we were brought to our room, I was expecting something a little newer and nicer. This was because of the pictures they posted online. When we got there, the room looked older and tired, the bathroom as... more

THE BEST place to stay in San Jose. The rooms were VERY clean and comfortable. The bathrooms had granite countertops, nice floors, and a walk in shower with glass door and EXCELLENT water pressure. The location is unbeatable. Right in the middle of everything and just 2 blocks from the notorious Del Rey hotel. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in... more
