Hotel Presidente - San Jose City Center, Costa Rica

Convenient location. Great breakfast and rooftop bar.

The entrance, lobby area, and breakfast room are very welcoming here. They definitely reinforce the fact that you're staying at a classy place in this crazy, vibrant city. The guest room itself though was very drab and bare basic. Very clean, but perhaps missing details like pictures on the wall or other details that could make the room somewhere you would want to spend time in. I thought the bedding was also fairly scratchy and not of a high level of quality. The staff were excellent here though with an early checkin, directions, storage of bags, etc. The breakfast was also excellent with many choices available. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay.

Great location, friendly staff. Hotel is still being renovated. Our room was unfinished and didn’t have a window to outside or closet doors. Spa tub jets were very dirty. They kindly offered us a takeaway lunch as we were going to miss breakfast. The sandwich was an unappetizing 2 slices of thick white buttered bread with a thin slice of ham and cheese. Rooftop restaurant was gorgeous.

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff, and breakfast was fantastic! I felt this hotel was very affordable for the location and amenities. If I make it back to San Jose, I would only stay here.

Great location, very friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast buffet.

Beautiful hotel lobby with lovely decor and helpful staff. Room was small and felt a bit industrial, but it was fine. Only complaint is that the bed is pretty hard and the pillows are very hard and not soft like I expect pillows to be. Location is in the middle of a bunch of stores and some restaurants. Not a critique of the hotel, but this was our first time in San Jose and found the area to be very hectic and stressful. We had to leave before breakfast, so I cant comment on that. Overall we had a nice stay for a good price.

Our stay was excellent. Staff was very courteous. Requests fulfilled. A wonderful hotel. The lobby and it’s decorations were cheerful and relaxing with an aim to please.

We would have liked a chair in the room. We loved the location, rooftop bar, excellent service and breakfast.

Great hotel and it’s restaurant. Only down side is it’s is difficult to navigate the city traffic and there is no signage as to where the hotel is. We were lucky and asked at random and found it.

Disclaimer: I was up-graded to a better room -Very spacious room, with own yacuzzi - I did not used. It- -Room had all the basics: AC, WiFi, Mini bar, TV -Included breakfast on my reservation. Large buffet -Very Central -Friendly personnel -The big room looks cold: no pictures, needs a small rug to cut the emphy space, the wall's paints - pictures - does not help to "warm up" the room
