Our travel agent placed us here...loved the central location and were upgraded to a junior suite. No real view but a spacious room, clean and attractive, and a perfect location for seeing San Jose, especially if you don't have a car. Was a bit noisy in the afternoon with the street huskers, but very quiet at night. All the main... More

The hotel was hard to find, parking was rather limited, the room had a strange smell and it is extremely noisy. Noise was continuous throughout the night, like every room apart from ours were wheeling their cases on the stone floor. Apart from this the breakfast and service were great.

Stayed here for 2 nights because of late arrival and early departure, wish it would have been a little closer to the airport. The lobby and breakfast were great, staff was more than accommodating and very sweet. Was a little alarming to have 2 nonrelated people, car rental people as well as airport staff advise us not to go out... More

Absolutely nothing bad to say about our stay. We were there for 5nights & we stayed in one of the suites. It was spacious, clean & very comfortable. We ended up doing some tours booked directly with the front desk & had a blast in Costa Rica. Location is perfect because It is set where you can walk around &... More

Our family of 4 stayed here for 2 nights. Check in was really fast and easy. We had a room on the 6th floor with 2 beds. The room was really clean and comfortable, but a little on the small size. The bathroom was big, the shower having great water pressure and plenty of hot water. We enjoyed the welcome... More

Beautiful room. Great shower. Entire staff was outgoing, friendly and competent. Some construction was going on but not enough to be a bother and hours were restricted. Excellent breakfast. The fresh mango was awesome. Very good coffee.

I stayed here twice for one night each trip. It's a good location if you want to be in central San Jose. Their no-guest policy probably keeps it quieter than most hotels in this area of town. I did hear the suitcase rattle down the hallway several times during the night as mentioned in other reviews. The breakfast was very... More

I came to Costa Rica five and a half years ago and now live an hour away from San Jose in the mountains. From time to time I visit San Jose to attend the Teatro Nacional in the evening and I always stay at El Presidente. When I first came here I tried most all the other Hotels in the... More
