Top Carmen Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Cariari - San Jose Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"I very much enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful at all times. The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood so, there was not a lot of street noise. The food and service at the restaurant were very good as well."

Viajero San José Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"The space was really nice - the common areas were really cool and there is a bar area to get food and drinks. Everything felt clean and the staff were very nice and helpful! This is a great place to stay if you are traveling alone and want to feel safe, or to make friends - they hold events where you can mingle with others and theres so many spaces to hang out!"

Hyatt Centric San José Escazú

10/10 Excellent

"El personal es muy colaborador y amable. Estuve contento de hallar en mi cuarto una mesita que me sirvió de escritorio, lo que no había en mi habitación en febrero. Aprecio el aislamiento fónico que limita la entrada de los ruidos exteriores, y las batas muy abrigadas. Cama confortable. Excelente atención 1) en el restaurante, en particular de Fabiola, Viviana, Luis y Carlos, siempre con una sonrisa. 2) en la recepción, con Randy, Kenia y Jonathan. La música queda fuerte y no relajante, pero tengo que resignarme, porque en prácticamente todos los lugares (hoteles, restaurantes y almacenes, hay esa música agitada, salvo en los restaurantes de alta gama. Regresaré con gusto en enero de 2027, para quedarme con gusto varios días con mi esposa."
