Budget Hostels from RM177

"The breakfast was excellent! Everything is super clean in the room. The staff is super friendly and professional. My only complaint is the comfort of the bed and the fact that you can hear a lot of noise (the walls aren't very soundproof)."

"I didn't realize the hotel caters to men seeking paid female companions. My wife and I found it to be an unpleasant situation, though it is legal in Costa Rica. Everything else about the hotel was great."

"Spent the night here after arriving from the US. The property is absolutely beautiful. We ate at the restaurant because we were wiped out after traveling all day. The food was good and pretty reasonably priced. The room was clean, staff was friendly. Breakfast had a lot of variety and was very good. "

"Property is very cute, comfy bed, and extremely helpful and friendly staff. "

"I booked the single king room with my own bathroom. It was perfect! Near restaurants and three blocks away from nightlife on California Street. "

"Clean room, and beds are good. Parking is very good, easy and free. Continental breakfast was extremely good and diverse The diner was also very good Good place to go to Irazu "

"I can rave about Hotel y Restaurante El Guarco. What a pleasant stay we had! The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The service was outstanding. The food was much better than expected; it was not your typical institutional-type menu or food. Breakfast was equally enjoyable with numerous choices, all expertly presented with a smile as well. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Cartago area. It was a treat."

"Really friendly staff, very accommodating. Bed was extremely comfy. The only two downsides was the location as it is very close to the train line and the horns of the trains are fairly constant from the early hours of the morning, and it is very solitary to walk around at night. "

"The condo was clean but smelled of disinfectant. The smell was so unpleasant that I had to keep the window open all the time. Although the window stayed open for the entire time, the smell remained. As soon as I stepped into this condo, I called the BEE management and asked for a different condo, but the person in charge claimed this could not be provided and refused to reimburse me. Since the rate was not refundable, I had to spend two nights in this condo. There were many problems: 1) The wardrobe: The broom, cleaning pot, and cleaning stuff were in the wardrobe where you were supposed to hang the coats. The second wardrobe could not be used because the rod was too high up. 2) The towels were of a cheap material and did not smell nicely. It was not pleasant to use them. 3) There was no hair dryer. 4) The owner left coffee but no coffee filter. So, I could not make coffee. 5) There was no sponge to clean dishes, no kitchen towel. In short. 6) The price: Another guest whom I met in the building paid half the price for a similar condo on a lower floor. 7) Misinformation: On the website, the owner claimed that the condo is on the top floor. It was on a high floor (10) but certainly not the top floor. 8) There was no café or restaurant in the immediate vicinity. 9) View: Across from the building, there is an ugly construction site. In short, my experience was negative. I do not recommend renting this condo."
