The power went off in the middle of the night 4 times, and when the power goes off there’s this obnoxious emergency light that lights up your whole room. It woke me up every time and I couldn’t sleep. Walls were thin, showers were horrible and the hair dryer didn’t work. Staff was nice atleast.

Mini vacation...
I usually stay at Cutura Plaza when in San Jose. I like the downtown location, choice of restaurants and shopping all walking distance from hotel. Friendly staff.

Perfect location. Friendly staff.
Our stay here was a last minute pick when a different reservation fell through - and it was the best thing that could have happened! Hotel Cultural is right in the middle of the downtown area and close to everything we wanted to see. The staff was very friendly, as was the waitress at the attached restaurant. The breakfast was decent and included. Our room at the back of the hotel didn't have windows, but was extremely quiet because of this (and in the middle of the city this is something special). I would definitely stay here again

Hot shower issue.
I had stayed many times at this hotel but these past few times, the hot shower is almost non existence, the water isn't even warm. A warmer water is better than having cold shower especially early in the morning. Please fix the hot water in the shower!!

Great stay
We had a great stay here. The receptionist was extremely helpful for information and his English was fantastic. The breakfast was also very good. We didn’t really feel safe in San Jose so it was nice to have a safe place to go back to. Would definitely recommend

Central modern in San Jose
A good modern style hotel in central San Jose. Room was excellent for arrival or stop overs. Staff were not that friendly. The breakfast is included. But the issue is time. Most of guests were being picked up at 0700 and breakfast starts then. All that is offered is a juice or coffee and small roll to take away.

Jose, the front desk agent was great. He was very informative with all/any questions we had. The location was perfect for my purpose. The hotel was very clean along with the rooms. The only slight negative is that it can be noisy. All in all, i will be back.

This is a very basic accommodation in central San Jose. The room we had had no windows, there is no coffee maker or other amenities. Breakfast was included in their lobby cafe and is made to order. The big downside is that there is no nearby parking. You have to go to the 6th St El Colloso parking lot which is a 10 minute walk and it's about $30 to park overnight. The location is pretty central, right next to the pedestrian walks with shopping and dining.
