Hotel Presidente - San Jose City Center, Costa Rica

San Jose is nothing to write home about, but this was a terrific little oasis. The decor was fascinating, the staff was friendly and helpful and we loved our room (ask for 507). The rooftop bar was delightful, as well.

Hotel President is is a very well presented hotel while maintaining a cozy family feel to it. The roof garden and entranced are adorned with these wonderful plants that make you feel relaxed from the moment you walk in. The staff couldn't do more and every one of them strives for excellence and are friendly without being 'too much'. We have 2 little boys and one left his Buzz Lightyear, this was returned FOC and sent with a note of Buzz's adventures. It emphasized this property goes above and beyond and it felt more like staying with family than at a hotel.

great hotel - very modern and cool common spaces, and large, clean rooms. We had a nice drink and light dinner at the rooftop restaurant / bar one evening which was great, and breakfast was decent. It was walking distance to our meetings as well. The gym is slightly lacking but overall great experience!

This hotel is right at the city center, close to everything. The room was clean, comfortable and wifi was working. The staff was professional and polite. Good breakfast and well served. I am sure when the renovation at the front entrance is completed, it will be even better. We will probably stay there again next time we come back to San Jose.

Good breakfast starting at 6:00 Emailed hotel regarding Airport bus and a prompt reply from Marcela Redondo Diaz. Advised changing only small amount at Airport. Subsequently changed more at Hotel at almost the same rate as a Bank. Pleasant staff and good location. Enjoyed our brief visit from Canada .
