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

Hotel Presidente is a great place to stay if you want to be able to walk to the museums, national Theatre, Central Market and other places of interest. Taxi fare to the hotel is $17.00 and takes about 20 min. at low traffic times. Be aware that rush hour easily doubles this. Inter Bus is a good option if you... more

I can only agree with most other reviews the hotel is getting each time better, the improvements which took place for as long as I had the chance to stay in this hotel are very nice and could not be better. Depending up on where my meetings in San Jose take place I most of the time try to stay... more

In May 2000, In June 2002, in December 2005, and, in June 2006. Every time I return, they have made the hotel even better, by improving the facilities, and making the entire... more
