Breakfast was plentiful and delicious in a Lovely room from early to late morning. Gorgeous rooftop bar for sunset; breezy and comfortable after long day. Dinner inside from a creative chef. Best thing, hands down, is a really Exceptional, helpful, terrific staff. Room was very spacious and very comfortable. Location was literally two blocks from all the best museums, parks and cultural attractions. A really memorable stay for someone who has been in hotels around the world.

Lovely hotel especially from the upper deck or lobby. The flowers and chandelier and restaurant were very nice with yummy foods! The prices were not bad for a high-end location and view. The rooms were large with jacuzzi tubs, and the beds were comfy. Location was an easy walk to most of the museums and parks in the City of San Jose. Parking was convenient and the staff was nice.

I wish the jets in the jacuzzi tubs worked. We had 2 rooms and neither worked. More of a selection of drinks in the lobby store. Also, parking was a little tight when tour busses dropped off tourists and then you could get out.

excellent location to see the main museums in San Jose. the breakfast buffet was superb. unique decor and beautiful rooftop deck. the hotel refunded my extra rooms after a long time trying to communicate via booking.com regarding a change of plans. I appreciate the honesty of the business.

the excessive smell of cleaning product in the room. the frustration of trying to change a reservation that was made on booking. com! too hard to communicate with hotel. would have been better book directly.

We stayed for one night when we first arrived in Costa Rica. The room was lovely and clean and comfortable, the staff were really friendly and helpful and the breakfast in the morning was delicious and served from 6am which is a real bonus if you have an early departure.

The area around the hotel is a bit shady at night, most places in the vicinity were closed after 7pm apart from a couple of supermarkets.

Amazing hotel, beautiful common areas! Loved the breakfast, it was delicious with lots of options and the staff was so friendly! We checked-in early and were upgraded to a larger room! Was very nice ☺️

The rooms were comfortable, but different style then the common areas - more traditional and signs of wear, but guessing maybe they will renovate. We would stay again, in a heart beat, though!

Massive room with a huge spa bath and shower. Good buffet breakfast and lovely roof top bar and restaurant. Central location is great to visit museums and walk to different barrios to explore.

Staff were a bit aloof as soon as you didn't want to spend lots of money in the bar or on their airport shuttle. Hotel airport shuttle is vastly over priced.

The room is spacious and the property was very well furnished, designed and beautiful in the middle or the messy downtown. El Presidente is an oasis in the city.

The jet vents in the jacuzzi were dirty and contained muck. If turned on and used it would have been non romantic and filthy. The vents must be cleaned and sanitized well. There is no short cut.

Lovely modern facade and reception area. Room and bed were both large and comfortable and the room was very clean. I would definitely recommend the rooftop restaurant at the hotel - San Jose is not easy to navigate at night so we ended up eating there both nights and appreciated having a place with good food that we could rely on (it also has a great view)! The location was very central.

The decor of the rooms is a bit more dated and seems disjointed from the modern facade and reception area.

Nice clean and modern hotel that is downtown. Hotel staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms are basic but clean and well maintained. The purified water refilled each day is a nice touch.

The location is not good, but I don't have reference point for a better neighborhood. Ate dinner at nice, cool restaurant upstairs the first night but had to return food.

First and foremost the hotel is extremely well located, right in the centre of San Jose. This makes it very convenient to explore the city by foot. The design of the lobby and the rooftop bar is very nice. However, my room was fairly basic.

My room was quite basic in comparison to the design you enjoy when first entering the hotel. I also was a bit unlucky to get a room on a lower floor next to the lift so it was a bit noisy. Nonetheless I would stay there again.
