The property was clean and the staff were kind and helpful. However there was no parking. We had to park 5 blocks away. It was noisy. At 6am you could hear all the noises from the kitchen. I wasn’t able to get much sleep.

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.

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
