    great location
    friendly staff
    outdated decor
    limited gym

    Should you try it? Yes or No

    The hotel’s location near the airport is fantastic! The staff was friendly, and I enjoyed a delicious breakfast each morning, which made me feel right at home.

    While it’s charming, the old decor feels outdated, and the gym equipment is limited. The small pool was a bit disappointing as well.

    spacious apartment
    little pool
    charming lounge
    limited breakfast selection

    Upgrading to a spacious apartment on the third floor was the best decision ever, and I loved lounging by the little pool in the inner courtyard. The hotel offers a cozy garden area and a charming shared lounge to relax in. The only minor issue was the breakfast selection being a bit limited, but overall, I had a fantastic experience! 😊

    Charming atmosphere with room for improvement

    The antique décor impressed us, and breakfast options were delightful. Consider requesting a room away from the traffic noise for a quieter experience. Overall, a unique spot close to the airport with room for improvement.

    I loved the cozy ambiance and beautiful antique decor! The comfy beds made for a restful night. The only downside was the Wi-Fi, which wasn't the best during my stay. 😅

    cleanliness issues

    The hotel's decor was charming, but the noise level from outside made it tough to relax. Although the breakfast was alright, the cleanliness left something to be desired, with some towels appearing dingy. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made the stay more enjoyable despite the drawbacks.

    The Standard Double Room was spacious and super comfy. The beds were really nice, which helped with a good night's sleep. I loved the cozy feel of the hotel—definitely gave me home vibes.

    great access to parks and local attractions for weekend walks

    during my recent stay, I loved how easy it was to stroll down to Avenida La Reforma and enjoy its beautiful scenery, and I also appreciated being just a quick 500 meters away from the vibrant Zona Viva with its lively atmosphere and fantastic dining options, making my explorations so enjoyable. as a solo traveler, the friendly staff and clean, beautiful interiors added to my comfort, making me feel right at home.

    charming décor
    delicious breakfast
    welcoming atmosphere
    cleanliness issues
    wifi inconsistency
    slow room service

    Absolutely loved the unique charm of San Carlos. The décor was impressive, with antique art pieces and elegant furniture throughout the property. The staff was friendly and attentive, making my stay feel welcoming right from the start. I enjoyed the lovely courtyard area with a small pool, perfect for soaking up some sun. The breakfast was delightful, featuring fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, and delicious coffee. However, there were a few areas that could use improvement. The air conditioning in my room wasn't initially turned on, making it pretty stuffy at first. The cleanliness could be better, as I noticed some small issues with cleaning products left in the room. Although the room was spacious, some fixtures were slightly outdated, which affected the overall comfort a bit. Another downside was the wifi, as it was inconsistent and sometimes difficult to connect, which was frustrating. Room service also took longer than expected and the food quality varied, with some dishes being much better than others.
