Carmen Hotels, San José

"The air condition wasnt so cold also i could not change the temperature but it was good"

"El desayuno es muy bueno y variado. El personal super amables, respetuosos y serviciales. El hotel necesita mantenimiento o renovaciones. Mi queja sobre mi estadía es que no hubo agua caliente."

"Great place ! Especially to stay after you arrive, and prior to departing … A+++ …"

"This hostel is better than the pictures advertised, the staff are very friendly and respectful. Plenty of room in the main area to hangout and meet people. Front door is a buzz to open door, which I’m sure makes some people feel more safe. Hostel also offers massage services and I think they do 10 minutes for free with purchase. They have a small shop next door if you need snacks, drinks or a beer, in the back of the shop they have electric scooters you can rent. Staff are very lenient with things but are strict on the 12AM rule if you are out in the main area you shouldn’t be making loud noises which is understandable. There are many restaurants/ pubs close by here. La cali, China town, downtown are close walking distance from the hostel. Overall the only thing I’m able to complain about is alcohol if you are drinker like me just walk to a bar nearby haha don’t forget to give the kitty pets he likes to hangout by this hostel a lot "

"Very clean, efficient, value for money stay with good bars and restaurants in the area and a good pool to spend time by with nice hammocks to relax in "

"Clean hotel, great breakfast "

"⭐⭐⭐ We had a mix of really great moments and a few that were hard to overlook. The highlights first.. because there were many. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. We were so thankful for early check-in after a long travel day (16+ hours for me and nearly 20 for my daughter). The restaurant was delicious, and the breakfast buffet each morning was such a great start to our day. The grounds and pool area are beautiful and relaxing, and the free airport shuttle made everything super convenient. It was also easy to grab transportation into the city for a day trip, which we loved. That said, there were a few things that impacted our stay. There’s no elevator, so carrying luggage up was a bit tough after such long travel. The bigger issue, though, was mold in the bathroom. Staff did come up quickly and clean it off the ceiling, which we appreciated, but it had already started coming back by the next day. We stayed two nights, and in hindsight I probably should have asked to switch rooms. That first night, though, we were completely exhausted and my daughter was already half asleep.. I didn’t have it in me to repack everything or make a fuss. The staff was very apologetic, but I do feel like a room change or some kind of accommodation should have been offered without needing to ask. The property itself really is beautiful, and I’m sure many guests have a great experience here. Unfortunately, based on our stay, I wouldn’t return."

"Very quiet and a nice breakfast"

"The tricky lady at the front desk tried to charge us twice for the breakfast. Parking place is a nightmare, always closed, dark, alone and you must go out of your car to ask (almost beg) for somebody to walk and open the gate. They offer amenities like a hair dryer. Lie. You must call and wait a long time for it. It was a good expensive hotel. Now its only expensive."
