Hotel Services

Hotel Cultura Plaza provides a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, and a safe deposit box at the front desk. A tour desk and free WiFi are available throughout the property. Room service and currency exchange are available. Safety features include a fire extinguisher, a smoke detector, a security system, and a first aid kit. The hotel also provides an elevator.

“Cultura Plaza's location near the National Theatre is a definite plus for exploring San Jose; however, light sleepers might find the street noise a challenge. The rooms are clean and modern, though perhaps a bit small, reflecting a practical approach to city accommodations. Ultimately, this hotel strikes me as a solid choice for budget-conscious travelers focused on location above all else.”
