Great place! It’s located in a beautiful neighborhood called Among, and it’s also within walking distance from downtown, where you can visit the National Theatre and the main market with typical local food. Dani and Karen gave me amazing service—Karen welcomed me with a big smile, and Dani joined us at the bar to play beer pong. I highly recommend it and I’ll definitely come back. By the way, if you’re looking for a massage, look for Oscar—he’s the best and will relieve all your stress.

Vibrant busy city with lots of interesting things to see and do. Name a brand and you can find it in the stores although it may be a bit on the pricey side. The one thing that struck us almost immediately was how clean things are, and the people are warm, welcoming and patient with us folks who can barely speak Spanish.

Excellent port of entry to visit lots of Costa Rican gems!

Excellent port of entry to visit lots of Costa Rican gems! Whether you are looking for adventure or chill beach vibes, this is the place with lots of access to tours from the city. And the city itself has a very robust historical, art and cultural experiences. Would recommend. Predominantly Spanish speaking, but lots of nationals will speak some English! So language barrier isn't a huge concern.

We spent the first and last night of our trip to Costa Rica in San José, but in retrospect, that was one night too many. Due to the traffic chaos, it simply takes too long to get to the hotels in San José, so you lose the desire to really explore the city.

San Jose is a patchwork of beautiful sites amidst a chaotic mess of traffic-riddled highways. We didn't really stay long enough to give it an accurate review, but our short stay was not encouraging. We spent most of our time in Costa Rica on the Pacific Coast, which was quite pleasant.

In general the city hasn't much to it - the best part is getting out on tours to see some nature! Traffic is also terrible at peak times, sometimes tripling the time is takes to get somewhere. Overall I had an enjoyable experience, but was reliant on tours, organised activities, extensive research on restaurants and Uber to get around.

We were really impressed during our stay. The hotel was in the ideal location just a few moments from the central strip of San Jose. All main attractions were within easy walking distance and the area felt safe. Staff were friendly and very helpful both at reception and at the restaurant. We appreciated the extra facilities including a tea and coffee bar downstairs including easy access to cold drinking water to fill up reusable bottles. We will definitely be recommending Hotel Presidente and would stay again.

To start off I thought the value was exceptional. It worked out at about £28UK pounds. This was obviously for two people and it included breakfast. This was used as a stop gap for a late night flight to San Jose , our holiday pretty much started after this stop over. In regards to value and for what was needed, I would recommend it. We used an Uber from San Jose Airport which cost about 12 UK pounds that was at about 11 pm Costa Rican time.

The hotel staff are extremely nice and helpful. They helped us with the parking and gave us useful advice for exploring San José. The garden is beautiful with beautiful Costa Rican art distributed everywhere. The breakfast especially is amazing and they always come to you to ensure that you have everything you need and are ready to refill your drinks anytime. I can highly recommend this hotel and will always come back when I stay in San José.

A nice find in a good area of San Jose, only a 30 minute drive from the airport. It has a really nice vibe with lots of original art on display on every floor - a genuine boutique hotel. Decent breakfast, a Pool on the 3rd floor - nice to catch the sunset. Tea & coffee available at all times. Safe underground car park. Near to a wide variety of restaurants and shops in Santa Ana

Overall, pretty decent place for an overnight stay. The area as noted is not great, but they've tried to make the hotel nice. It is comfortable, good value and secure at night. Also close to the bus stops. I'd recommend it for one night as a transit place, but not to explore San Jose
