Top Carmen Hotel Reviews

Sleep Inn Hotel Paseo Las Damas

10/10 Excellent

"My preferred place to stay in San Jose (have probably stayed here at least 20 times, and I have stayed at many places in town so I have a fair idea of what's "normal" here even for the high-end hotels). Large and clean rooms, great location and staff. Only downside is there is no restaurant/bar in the hotel, rather in the separate casino which is a bit sleazy for my tastes. But there are decent restaurants within a short walk."

Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

8/10 Good

"The property was clean. The staff were nice and welcoming. The location is conveniently located right next to a Walmart and down the road from the mall. The room was big and beautiful. My only issue was the fridge. It does not operate as a fridge; it does not keep anything cool. If you want something kept cool, you have to leave it downstairs with front desk. They will place it in the kitchen’s fridge. The onsite breakfast was okay, typical options with the addition of traditional Costa Rican breakfast."

DoubleTree by Hilton Cariari - San Jose Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"It was a beautiful place and the staff was so nice and accommodating. Our room was huge. The pool and hot tub was perfect. The shuttle to and from the airport was very helpful . Breakfast was amazing. I really enjoyed my made-to-order omelet."
