We stayed at the hotel our last night in Costa Rica. Coming from the national parks into the city was a bit of a shock- the people don't stop moving! The hotel was great- in a good location on the main pedestrian only boulevard!! It was near all the major attraction in downtown San Jose. They upgraded us to the... more

My bestfriend and I enjoyed our stayed at the Hotel Presidente. As young women, we felt extremely safe! There was security present at each entrance to the hotel. They were strict even w/t women b/c alot of prositutes hang around San Jose, not particularly around the hotel though. For Men who are looking for that kind of fun, be warned... more

Forget the soft cock reviews, this place is fine. Best location, no balconies unless you pay or go up to the top floor for a view. The bar is street level and great fun until later- the the Blue Marlin is the only option apparently. We went elsewhere and nearly fell through the termite eaten floors. more

First class all the way and not to the point of breaking you. You have to be a use to traveling in Latin America or some of the customs and cultural things might take you back. But our stay here was in every way excellent. Clean, friendly and great bar and restaurant. The best feature is you are right down... more

This hotel was the perfect place to stay at the beginning and end of our trip. We stayed for two nights at the beginning and then again the night before we left Costa Rica. We checked in very late, around 11:30pm and the gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The cab driver dropped us off at... more

We had not planned to stay in this hotel, but circumstances landed us here and I am glad they did. We had originally booked one night at the Grand Hotel Costa Rica (a couple of blocks away). But when we arrived, we were told they had no rooms because of some plumbing disaster. They tried to send us to the... more

Once again I had an outstanding stay at the Presidente. From the first day I walked into the door until checkout it is a great experience. When I pull up in the cab I am greeted like an old friend and welcomed back. Then after that each employee I come into contact with greets me with a smile and says... more

We flew in late in the evening and wanted a place downtown to stay so that we could see the city before going out to the ocean. The staff was helpful and courteous. I did not like our room because the windows were "frosted" and the view through the open window was cinderblock and a fire escape. We were awakened... more

I have sojourned some days in the hotel President of St. Josè in Costa Rica, that is described in his site internet as a hotel to 4 stars with services from hotel of luxury To the arrival I have had the disagreeable surprise to find me in a bleak hotel, with corridors, dirty, old and malodorous elevators and rooms with... more
