Great place for an overnight. Right in downtown with easy access to just about everything. Room was small but very comfortable, clean and up to date.

This hotel is conveniently located, close to restaurants, supermarkets and stores. Transportation is easy, also. The rooms are a bit on the smaller side but adequate for the price. Breakfast is delicious!

Awesome place to stay, but keep in mind it's close to a main street, so their's a lot of noise.
Belen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect spot to stay next to San Jose city-center. Everything is walkable from this small hotel which is half a block from the main square. Staff is very nice, helpful, English-speaking, and accommodating. Free breakfast is large and lots of choices. Room was HUGE and very clean, bathroom was very modern, and the bed was comfortable. High marks!!
Bobra, 2-night trip

Johnny, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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
Christopher, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I liked the modern, clean room, very helpful and cheerful staff, good breakfast. However, I missed a window in the room.
Peter, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A good location and place to sleep.

The rooms are small and the walls are thin. The hotel is located near many food options and a convenience store. You can book tours through the hotel and they will pick you up and drop you off in the lobby. Breakfast is cooked to order and there are sandwiches and drinks for purchase as well.
Single room.
The view in the hallway.
There wasn’t a second latch on the door.
Nicole, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Good rooms and excellent facilities. Great service. Good breakfast. Location is good in terms of being close to main tourist attractions in San Jose. Unfortunately, the area has become very unsafe, dirty and unpleasant overall. Wouldn’t recommend this location, especially for families with children.
Mario, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The place is located in the center of San Jose, very convenient, you can walk to anywhere, a good price, and the staff is very friendly. I would give it 5 stars if they had laundry service. I highly recommend it.
Felix, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Real nice place just the street in front of hotel is to loud at night and at night it’s not safe to walk around
