My wife and I went to Costa Rica for our honeymoon. We were just staying at the Presidente the night before we left as a jumping off point to go to the airport. On the way here, our passports, camera, etc were all stolen. Needless to stay, I can't say I noticed a whole lot about the hotel the first... more

My standard room was stunning - the entire room was refurbished and repainted, the bathroom too! The LCD tv and mini bar were a nice treat as well. Check in was a breeze and the concierge was helpful when I requested assistance. The gym is located up on the 7th floor. You have a panoramic view of the city from... more

Having just spent a week a this hotel I can say that I would stay there again without hesitation, although housekeeping could definitely improve. Our room, a junior suite was large and reasonably well-appointed, but the room was clearly not vacuumed daily (possibly not at all during our stay) and amenities were not regularly replaced (shampoo and, especially toilet paper).... more

A great bar and restaurant on the ground floor open onto the pedestrian avenue giving a really good atmosphere to the place. My only negative comment would be the cost of internet... more

Fortunately, we had earplugs and recommend their... more

I have stayed at the presidente many times and each time it just gets better, the slightest problem gets fixed instantly and the Hotel management take serious note to travellers needs and exceed them. A group of six of us visted for the weekend, Jonathan helped us with tours and taxis and reservations. The Front desk guys are superb.The news... more

good hotel if you're looking for a clean and comfy but value for money hotel in san jose. situated in centre of town but convenient still for airport. more

After sleeping in the airport and almost missing half our perfectly planned trip we pulled up at Hotel Presidente. We pulled off a very busy street in a busy part in the middle of San Jose to a large gate. It looks beautiful once you get closer! The staff was less than excited to see us but they did us... more
