Hotel Cultura Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, the receptionists were helpful, courteous, patient and co operative. I did not use the air conditioning, only the fan because the room was cool. It had two windows to allow fresh air to flow through, one by the bathroom and the other above the front door. I would recommend this hotel to anyone because it is budget friendly, located in downtown San José , serve free breakfast of different varieties and they even cater for vegans."
