It is right in the middle of the city. It is a small property and we slept there 1 night to go to Irazu volcano the next day. So it served its purpose for us.
Good place to stay in Cartago. Next to central Cartgao. Nice and clean room with twin beds and bump beds. Manager and all the people are friendly. One thing you need to pay attention is parking. There is a parking place in the property but you better let them know before you go since the place is very limited.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Sans charme ni intérêt
Piètre rapport qualité prix. Nous avons séjourné au Costa-Rica pendant 3 semaines et c’est le pire hôtel de notre voyage et aussi le plus cher ! La chambre était peu invitante, la douche sans eau chaude, le petit-déjeuner se résume en un petit bol de salade de fruits et, selon le choix de la dame de l’hôtel, d’une portion de pain de maïs ou d’une tortilla au fromage avec un café noir. Bien que situé à deux pas du marché et à une quinzaine de minutes de marche de la cathédrale, l’environnement de l’hôtel n’est pas intéressant. D’ailleurs, Cartago n’est pas une ville intéressante. Seul point positif, la dame qui nous accueille est très gentille.

Une nuit à Cartago
Endroit paisible qui manque un peu d’amour( vieillot) mais Francesca très gentille malgré qu’elle ne parle qu’espagnol. Un bon stop pour continuer la route
Bien situee a la sortie du centre ville de Carthago en direction du volcan Irazu cette petite maison d'hote reste pratique. Le personnel est tres attentif aux souhaits des clients. Seul be-mol, les équipements et le style un peu defraichi.
Room smelled like body odor. Cockroaches in bathroom and shower. Right next to kitchen and woken up by people talking loudly in kitchen at 7 am. Staff were nice but you get what you pay for
Très bien situé, à 100 mètres du Mercado Central.
Présence de 3 parking de l'autre côté de la rue (un peu avant, rue à sens unique, donc obligation de faire tout le tour du pâté de maison pour retrouver l'entrée).
ATTENTION, à bien prendre le parking le plus proche des 3, car il est le seul à faire un tarif journée pour l'hôtel. Les 2 autres sont à des prix exorbitants pour 20 heures !
Point négatif : hotels.com annonçait "Parking sans voiturier gratuit (limité)".
En fait, pas de parking gratuit. Ils m'ont remboursé la moitié de ce que j'avais payé comme parking pour la nuit, mais pas plus.
J'estime qu'il serait préférable d'augmenter le prix de quelques euros, et d'inclure la mention "parking compris", ou alors de préciser "Présence de parkings payant à l'extérieur de l'établissement".
