Since the early 2000s I always stayed at Hotel Presidente in the center of San Jose. Over the past several years they have changed dramatically. At one time it was the best value in the city. Great location, clean and comforatble, all the amenities, a rockin restuarant and bar on the ground floor that looked out over the pedestrian walk,...

Dear machspeed,
I respect your opinions, everybody has different tastes and I agree with you the hotel has changed a lot since 2000. All our facilities were remodeled and our prices went higher as value proposition changed. I also have good memories on the News Cafe, it is great you enjoyed it in the past as many other patrons. Please...

We had to stay overnight in San Jose for a layover and I was very hesitant on where to stay. We selected this hotel based on the other recommendations.
The hotel was very nice, staff was wonderful, & spoke both Spanish and English. The hotel rooms were modern, clean and nice.
The hotel is located on a pedestrian walk way,...

We stayed at the Hotel President for 5 nights and we were VERY PLEASED with the attention that the employees gave to every question, request, service and need. We felt like we were with a group of Old Friends not a Stuffy Hotel Staff that you usually find in most Hotels.
The location was perfect for all of our needs,...

Nice hotel, overall. It is in a location where you can easily walk to restaurants and shopping. A little scary after sunset, but generally nice. There is a nice Americanized restaurant across the street that sells pizza, beer, and other treats.
The room is small. Beds were good. Bathroom nice. It did the trick for one nice in San Jose.

Starting or ending your vacation in Costa Rica ? This hotel is a good option.
Luxury rooms, very clean. Only minor disadvantage: many rooms have no view at all, and the windows are coated, so they are rather "dark". But if you are here only for sleeping, it shouldn't be a problem.
In my opinion, a top option to take...

Dear WhisperingOmen,
Thank you for your review. Hotel has city view rooms and also inside rooms. Inside rooms windows have sand blast coating. Regarding the Spa, all reservations are managed at the Front Desk & Concierge Desks, at the 7th floor the therapist room is closed while on treatment, and reception is only used by the therapist to greet guests...

We stayed at Hotel Presidente after 8 days all over Costa Rica. After the 3 previous places i was SURE that it was illegal to have a comfortable mattress in costa Rica. But that's not true because Hotel Presidente was soooooo nice. The bed was the perfect firmness coupled with the perfect softness. The sheets and blankets were crisp and...

Amazing location right on the main pedestrian street in downtown San Jose. As every building in San Jose this hotel also has an address. Yet, to locate this address is impossible as there are no street names posted anywhere but the map. If we did not have a GPS, there is no way we would have ever found this place...

Dear 4865853,
It is correct our city does not have street names posted, and it is hard to find an address, so what we recommend is that our guests download from our webpage, the map with directions of the hotel to/from the international airport. The map shows updated pictures of the main turns indicated at the map, to make it...

The pedestrian mall is several...
