Hotel Presidente had nice rooms, crisp white sheets and cable TV. The views were not that great but the location is - its right in the center of San Jose on a pedestrian street. The News Cafe down below is very good. Breakfast is incl in the rate $100 a night. The staff esp Gabriela was superb and booked our... more

I wish this hotel wasn't located in San Jose, because otherwise I would have been compelled to stay another night. However, the city is dirty and loud and there is so much beauty to see in Costa Rica just within a half hour outside the city. Anyway, we truly enjoyed our stay here. We were updated to the hotel's suite... more

We wanted to stay one night in San Jose, Costa Rica to experience the bustle of the city for a short while, prior to departing on our flight home. This hotel is located at the corner of a busy shopping thoroughfare/ retail area in downtown San Jose. We had previously (and mostly) stayed in the Arenal/La Fortuna area during our... more

This is a great hotel in a great location within the city. The restaurant is also top-notch. The rooms are very spacious and trendy/modern. All in all, this is a great place to stay in San Jose! more

My wife and I went to Costa Rica for our honeymoon. We were just staying at the Presidente the night before we left as a jumping off point to go to the airport. On the way here, our passports, camera, etc were all stolen. Needless to stay, I can't say I noticed a whole lot about the hotel the first... more

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
