Top Carmen Hotel Reviews

Hotel Cultura Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay in a basic but adequate room. The only concern was a hallway light that was on a very, very quick timer, which made the hallway too dark and scary. Room was a bit noisy with traffic below, even though it was on the fifth floor. Breakfast was very good. Great location"

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!"
