Hotel Presidente
Avenida Central , 29221 San José, Costa Rica – Great location - show map
We stayed at El Presidente for our last night in Costa Rica and were very pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the fun, industrial, quirky decor and very friendly welcome. The guys on reception very helpfully suggested some restaurants and souvenir shops to visit. The breakfast was outstanding, one of the best offered during our 3 week trip in Costa Rica. The rooms don't have the same quirky decor as the rest of the hotel however they were comfy and provided gorgeous lemongrass shampoo and conditioner which, after 2 nights roughing it in the jungle, felt like a real luxury! Be sure to enjoy the views from the roof terrace! We found a good shopping area nearby (and International bookstore with English language books) and with more time would have visited the National Museum which is walking distance.
