A Nice Surprise”
For the most part, I enjoyed my stay at the EXE. I had a room on the 5th floor. There was a door to the connecting room and the first night, there were some very loud people in there and I could hear EVERYTHING. That went on until after 2 AM. From that point on, everything was fine. The room was modern and large. Despite the description on the website, all the beds are Queen size and not King. The hotel doesn't look like much on the outside and the lobby is pretty non-descript, but inside it is very modern and clean. I did not opt for the breakfast because it was a whopping $15 a day. The hotel is centrally located in San Jose and close to all the attractions in the city center such as the gold and jade museums. I wouldn't say that downtown San Jose is a pretty city. It is pretty gritty for the most part. But, if you want to be in the city center and don't want to pay too much, the EXE is a good option.

Modern, clean, great location (center), amazing beds!”
We ended our Costa Rica trip here, and loved coming to a modern, clean, beautiful place. The surrounding area is old, and a bit dirty (it's downtown San Jose), yet this is a little Oasis of greatness right in the middle of everything that you can see in San Jose (as there's not too much to see). Staff was very friendly, and the Hotel itself was quite nice.

Pleasant stay ”
The hotel is central in San Jose. The hotel also has parking which is free. The staff were friendly and the hotel was clean. The hotel is very modern, but our rooms didn’t have windows. So the rooms didn’t have any natural light. Agoda also overcharged me for the hotel rooms. Overall my stay was pleasant.

Nice hotel, interesting setup. ”
I got a room with no outside window. The first room was a little odd that it was like up some stairs and had like a low ceiling. Felt a bit claustrophobic and asked if there was another room. The staff was super friendly and swapped me to a different room (still without outside window) but much nicer and bigger which was just fine. Really clean room. Comfy bed, great staff, awesome location in the center of things. Would stay here again (maybe just not in that first room)

There must be something better?”
We spend one night in Exe San Jose waiting for a flight connection. I must say that in my opinion the pictures of the hotel on Agoda are a little misleading and we were disappointed in our choice of rooms. The room was exceptionally basic and did not even have a glass to drink water from?

What a great location for a hotel! It was in the middle of the city! There were a number of restaurants in walking distance as well as plenty of sights to see! The staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were big, clean, and comfortable. The only thing I would suggest is not to walk around at night in this area alone.

Outstanding hotel for your money.”
The gym needed weight lifting machines, instead of dumbbell weights. Need to lower the price of the breakfast buffet price of $15.00/day/person.

Not bad”
Pros - Very good location, near a grocery store, restaurants, coffee shops. Central Avenida's colorful walking street, and. parks. Cons - After the first night, I had bed bug bites. I later found the bug on my mattress and removed the chubby culprit. My hotel room's ceiling was about 6 feet 6 inches in height and I'm 6 feet tall, I had to bend over everytime I put on/off my shirts. Seems like the interior of the hotel building was originally designed for commercial office space use, and then later converted into a hotel? A bit of an "odd stroll" each time I went to and from my room as the floor's layout just didn't agree with my senses. It just didn't seem normal. Gym was just okay. Highly recommend doing everything outdoors during the daytime, the neighborhood felt very unsafe at night.

Nice place, but can be noisy outside in the hall”
It’s a very nice hotel with a cool open concept lounge type area on each floor. Almost every morning I would be woken up by someone being noisy, other guests or staff talking, etc. i tend to like to sleep in until 9 or 10 tho, so the noise probably would not affect early risers. I have stayed at this hotel 3 times now, so it is a good hotel. And

Breakfast buffet is way too expensive per person. If it was about $7.00/person, instead of $15.00/ person, more clients would purchase it. Maids and desk staff are great.

Rats in the walls”
I booked 2 hotel rooms . To stay for 3 nights. One of the rooms had rats in the walls. You could hear them running around all night so couldn’t sleep properly . I raised the issue with the manager in the morning only to be told that because we booked through agoda we had to raise the issue with them. Stay here if you don’t mind being kept awake by rodents

Buen hotel y muy limpio”
Hotel con habitaciones muy limpias y muy grandes, el personal muy atento y agradable, muy buena gerencia. Creo que el servicio de restaurante para almuerzo y cena seria excelente, falta el servicio de lavandería a los clientes.
