Great place to stay in San Jose!
We were on a tour and stayed 2 extra nights to explore San Jose. The Hotel Presidente had a great location on a pedestrian walkway and was in walking distance to all the museums. Rooms were large with great AC and shower! The staff was exceptional!! Entry staff and porter was very nice. Maria and Charlie at the front desk were friendly and assisted us with directions to the museums and a pharmacy. Great staff and a wonderful place to stay in San Jose.

Excellent stay in San Jose
We had an AMAZING stay at Hotel Presidente! We had a harrowing drive from La Fortuna and from the second we pulled into the driveway Pedro took care of us. He took the keys, told us to leave our bags, and sent us on our way. They gave us a free upgrade for our honeymoon to one of their "concept" rooms. It was chic and comfortable, and amazingly quiet considering the noise of San Jose. Every single person we interacted with was incredible (shout out also to Steven and Andrea!). Breakfast was yummy (book direct with them for free breakfast). This was one of our more affordable stays, but also one of the nicest.

A wonderful stay at the Hotel Presidente.
It was a lovely stay. Super good service, all friendly people. The room was clean. Delicious breakfast. And the restaurant was fantastic. And whenever we needed help, it was a matter of course for them to assist us. Especially Nicole at the reception. Thank you all!

Hotel good but breakfast a let down
The hotel interior is very cool, the staff are friendly and the rooms are great. Really modern and clean with a huge shower. Our room was pretty hard to find so more signage would be great - we literally found it by mistake as there were no signs. The only let down for this hotel was the breakfast. By far the worst we experienced in Costa Rica. The coffee was comparable to that found in a hospital and there was virtually no service at all. I don’t mind a buffet, but there was no one around clearing tables or refreshing anything. Really disappointing after a positive first impression.

Lovely stay
Very nice hotel with wonderful & friendly staff. I enjoyed all the live greenery draping the interior lobby of the hotel. Breakfast was delicious with a lot of variety. I liked that the bedroom windows can open, however if facing the street - it can get quite noisy.
