We had an overnight stay at Hotel Presidente prior to our return flight back to the US. Daniel was working the front desk and was very helpful to give us advice on must see attractions in old San Jose. The facilities were great and a very comfortable roome. We had a fabulous dinner on the rooftop restaurant to top off our stay and the breakfast buffet was exceptional.

I didn’t really like anything.
I didn’t really like anything. The front desk made me carry my bag up 4 flights of stairs. The room was so hot when I got inside. There was no coffee in the rooms at all and I asked multiple time for it. The shower was also clogged.

San Jose as city is not too much to believe as other cities and is a crowded city We stayed at the outside skirts of San Jose where you have more nature, mountains/scenery and less city life and visited the city several times.

If you like a big city, San Jose is great.
If you like a big city, San Jose is great. We live in southern Costa Rica and only go to San Jose for doctor visits and shopping. It's best to take a taxi or Uber in San Jose. The traffic is crazy. Be sure to use the WAZE app instead of Google for driving around. It stays more up to date.

I did a tour for the first two weeks of the volcano area, rain forest, Caribbean, and then the Pacific side of the island. During the tour, we also ziplined, rode horseback, white water rafting, soaked in hot springs, and hiked the rain forest and volcano areas.
When the tour ended I stayed for another 10 days in downtown San Jose and did day trips out of the apartment.
People are family-oriented, friendly, and supportive. You can drink the water and use US electric devices. Go, you will love it.

We stayed here on our last night but wished we hadn't.
We stayed here on our last night but wished we hadn't. The hotel was good but there was nothing special about the city and we would have preferred to be back in Alajuela where we stayed on the first night. There was much less traffic there and lots of different birds in the trees. The park in San Jose only had grackles.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfasts. Clean room and comfy bed. Great cooling off in courtyard pool. Located near Park and free gallery of Costa Rica art which was really interesting. Away from the busy centre of San Jose but walk there in 30mins. Close to some good restaurants. Taxi to airport around 25 minutes. Taxi to main Tracopa bus station about 10 minutes. Staff organised taxi for us and it arrived with in minutes. High recommend hotel.
The staff was very friendly and helpful with questions about San José, they even helped me find a way to get to other areas in Costa Rica. The hostel had a nice relaxed vibe and is always clean. There's an outdoor area that is beautiful and surrounded by nature and its great for socializing with everyone.
It's in a nice area that is in walking distance from many things like Sodas, the mall, Barrio Escalante, etc. Overall awesome stay
It is a wonderful small hotel conveniently located in downtown San Jose, at a walking distance from everything you likely want to see in the capital, with good restaurants nearby. It is very safe, open 24 h, well taken care of, with a very pleasant, relaxing, friendly atmosphere. A great base to explore San Jose and have tours around. You can always expect help and good advice at this place. Strongly recommended.
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.
We stayed at Barcelo as the first hotel for our Honeymoon after our flight to San Jose for 2 nights. The staff were so friendly, they left us a lovely Honeymoon surprise and loved the free snack room with food and drinks :) a huge breakfast selection which was lovely. We loved the pool area and it was just the perfect place to relax after our flight and settle into Costa Rica!
Great location in Barrio Escalante, the Hipster district of San Jose with many great restaurants and a farmers Market on Saturdays basically next door. The hotel was decorated beautifully with traditional Costa Rican masks and the rooms were clean and spacy. The breakfast was exceptional with Omelettes freshly made and fresh fruit, even pancakes with different toppings. Wow!!!
The location for visiting the museums in San Jose is excellent. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel is modern and clean, and our room was furnished very nicely. The bed was comfortable and the linens were of very good quality. Some reviewers complained of noise from other rooms, but we could not hear our neighbors. The rooftop sitting area is beautiful.
the place is very nice and cosy. the people who work here are so friendly and helpful. rooms are clean, bed is comfortable. all good. its also in i would say kind of a safer area of san jose, and its easy to walk to nice restaurants and shops. they have such a nice outdoor sitting area and also the decoration of the hotel is so amazing. i did sleep very well.
The hotel did what it needed to. Clean and the staff were helpful. The aircon wasn't working properly and so they moved our room without an issue.
In hindsight we wouldn't have stayed in downtown San Jose as it's all a bit run down, but if you want to be in the centre of town then this hotel will do the job.
The hostel is located in a central area of San José. It a villa from the '50-'60 converted into a hostel with private and dorms.
The rooms and the common areas are suggestive, and you can still see the former use as a private house.
Bathrooms and rooms are not modern, but that is the charm of this hotel.
The staff is wonderful and very helpful. Breakfast was very good (bread, jams, juice, fruit, and eggs with a slice of tomato) and plentiful. The location is great for exploring downtown San Jose, walking distance to almost everything. The owner even arranges affordable transportation to/from the airport.
I can’t say enough good things about this hotel! The hospitality was absolutely amazing - the concierges, parking attendant, housekeepers, and restaurant staff were so kind and helpful. Great location, price, and breakfast. I would 100% recommend staying here if you’re traveling to the San Jose area!
Unique, one of a kind hotel. Awesome views of the entire San Jose valley from all rooms.
Pool, library/video room, sauna, and jacuzzi with a view of the city!
Nice kitchen. 15 minute walk to grocery store, restaurants and downtown Escazu.
Good internet, friendly and helpful staff.
Cute hotel in a heritage building just outside the central district of San Jose. Super friendly and helpful staff, comfortable rooms, great location. The cafe/breakfast area is beautiful and there is a fantastic restaurant attached to the hotel. Great option for a night or two in San Jose!
The location is great with many restaurants, coffee shops, and markets. In addition there are nice parks, and a great area to walk in. This is the area I love to stay in whenever I come to San Jose. The hotel is very accommodating at a very good price.
This is a very centrally-located hotel, right at the heart of downtown San Jose. The staff at the front desk were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The breakfast choices were delicious. The facility is clean.
So comfortable. Great food. Fast check in/out. Convenient location. Amazing staff. We have stayed in many, many hotels in the San Jose area, this is now number one.
