"Convenient, clean and pleasant staff"
it was a friendly, convenient, clean, modern, tastefully decorated, secure-feeling base for exploring the sites of the city...not particularly lavish, but complimentary breakfast was appreciated..Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"The Management of this terrific Hotel is Superior!"
I booked the Spa Suite at this hotel for a weekend with friends. The suite was spacious and had a huge jacuzzi tub, perfect for a relaxing soak or romantic getaway (I would imagine.) We had one problem with our room, and at the time, it wasn't fixed. However, after reporting the problem in a review, the management was MORE than accomodating, spoke to […] his staff about ways things could have been done better and seemed to truely care about his customer satisfaction. The location of this hotel couldn't be more convenient to the heart of San Jose and shopping, and the beds are extremely comfortable. The hotel is also very elegant and there are a couple of wonderful restuarants nearly across the pedestrian street outside the hotel. It is also about two blocks from the city's "arts and crafts market" where you can get all of your souvenirs for your trip home! It's also about one block walk to the central square where you will find the Gold Museum, National Mint, the National theater (absolutely worth going to see a performance, very inexpensive, and absolutely beautifully restored historical theater.) I highly recommend this Hotel, and if you have any problems during your stay, just talk to the management and I am sure they will do everything they can to make things right.

"Quality Hotel"
Hotel is in the center of the city next to a walk way with modern stores and restaurants. Can be difficult to find due to the lack of road signs in San Jose but highly recommend this hotel to friends and family. Great value for the price.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Beautiful Hotel, but REALLY hard to find!!"
Dut to Hurricane Sandy, our travel plans changed and we arrived a day early in San Jose. The woman tending the front desk was able to accomidate the 6 of us with ease, patience, and friendliness.The hotel was beautiful, the staff friendly and helpful, and the breakfast buffet was so yummy. The only problem we had was literally finding it!! The streets […] are not marked and there is no address posted on the front of the building! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"More than we expected"
The room was huge for our purposes. All was very good. The room we were assigned was above a very busy street and was quite noisy, but we were there for the nighlife anyway so it didnt bother us. If we were there for business and needed early wakeups, it wouldn't have been practical. In all, we were very satisfied. In room Internet was good although […] not wireless, but the hotel offered an ethernet line. I would use again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel presidente San Jose costa rica"
Hotel was very nice, but cost 30.00 us dollars to get there from airport. It's says offers ground transfer, but it's not free. So factor that in. Area is not really safe. Wouldn't want to take kids there.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel Presidente - San Jose, Costa Rica"
Went with a group so we had a few rooms. All very clean and no issues. Front desk always friendly when asking about the places around town. The food staff were great and breakfast was tailored upon request. The driver (believe his name was Marvin) was open about the do's and don'ts around town and what places to avoid. Great experience overall.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel Presidente -- One of San Jose's Best"
Had a great stay, The employees were courteous and helpful, and all spoke good English. The Hotel's exchange rate was MUCH better than the airport, and the complimentary breakfast was top notch. My only complaint was the absence of a wireless connection in my room. Had to go to the lobby for wireless. The hotel did offer a wired connection in the room, […] but that's not the same as wireless. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Hotel Presidente."
Conveniently located in downtown San Jose. The room is cleaned and fresh. We have a room with a main street view. Free internet in the lobby is very slow. You may as well use one of the internet cafe (1usd/hr).Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to all must see sights, i.e. museums, church"
It is a beautiful hotel but very hard to find when you are driving. We had to get a taxi to escort us to the building as there were no eye level signs. Once inside though, it was a great experience. The staff were very kind and most could speak some English. I would suggest the hotel should try and find a way to get some signage on Caille 7 so as you […] drive by or near it, you can see where it is located. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Excellent"
It is an amazing hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
No comfortable seating anywhere. Not in room or lobby. No restaurant, bar (under construction)Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not nice."
If you travel with your friends, be aware! They don't let anyone else enter to the hotel upstairs than them who lives in the hotel, at any time of the day. That's really weird, you can not be with your friends coming from elsewhere!!! Sad place, think twise before booking.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"HOTEL PRESIDENTE SAN JOSE COSTA RICA"
La ubicacion del hotel es muy buena, en pleno centro de la ciudad, pero las condiciones de inseguridad no recomiendan alejarse más que unas manzanas. Cuando teminen las obras de acondicionamiento de la planta baja mejorará el aspecto exterior, ya que ahora mismo parece que estuviera cerrado. Faltan indicaciones de como acceder al hotel y al aparcam […] iento. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
