Guest Reviews

• SARA (10/5): - Very helpful staff.
• Merry (2/5): - I would never go back. Very poor service
• Dennis (2/5): - The neighborhood is sketchy. There is nothing good about this place. The worst ever.
• Ileana (10/5): - It's a family place
• Brian (8/5): - Very safe, clean and close to beach and shopping. Nice small pool just right for a small family. Very friendly owner and staff. Owner was VERY helpful and speaks excellent English. Recommend highly for a short stay near everything 👍👍
• Verified traveler (8/5): Puede ser.... - En caso de "emergencia" es una opción, cerca existen mejores opciones.
• Marielena (8/5): - Atencion amable del propietario
• Javier (2/5): - Few hour stay enough to not come back anymore no maintenance place
• Jared (4/5): - Didn't like the dead mouse in my room or the bed bugs Fin This review app seems to not wor well
• Karine (2/5): - Très mauvaise nuit dans cet hôtel. WC bouchés, douche insalubre avec cafard. Une odeur nauséabonde dans la chambre. Des puces de lit. Côté cuisine... Frigo en panne... Je déconseille l'hôtel
• Christian (4/5): - Je ne conseille pas ce lieu à cause de son insalubrité. Frigo non fonctionnel Piscine non higienique Cuisine non fonctionnelle et meubles cassé Bref l'hôtel a bien changé
• Mauro (4/5): - A lot opportunities to improve, was not clean at all,
• Xinia (8/5): - Una cabina bien amueblada. Lo único es el horario de estar en la piscina. Y la hora de salida de la cabina.
• Sunny (6/5): - Property was easy relatively easy to find. We drove from the SJO airport. Does have air conditioner which was very necessary as it was about 100F heat index. I did not use the TV. Wifi connection was spotty. Place was quite noisy. People living on the property play their music loudly in the evening. Loud talking and laughing. Property was also right off the main road. Truck traffic added to the noise. I did not use the pool. Close to ferry. Have to operate a heavy iron gate to get car into parking area. Basic room.
• Marek (2/5): - Don’t stay pls. Horrible!!! Watch out for the electric panel in f…IG shower!
• Yarlen (10/5): - Un lugar cerca de la playa , muy tranquilo y el administrador muy pura vida
• Verified traveler (6/5): Get you through the night, no more. - Think “Bare Minimum” we needed a spot to stay because we missed the last ferry. The staff was friendly but the rooms were closer to a run down hostel than any kind of hotel. Will get you through the night, but not a place you expect for an extended stay.
• Mario Vega (4/5): - The door toilet was brokeen since last time when I was there on las december.
• Roberto (2/5): El peor hotel del mundo. - En general fue terrible. mi pareja y yo fuimos a descansar pero ahí eso es imposible. no hay respeto por el reposo de nadie, por que durante toda la noche clientes tomando licor y hablando por raros y gritando en otros y nadie del personal les dijo que había gente durmiendo y debían respetar eso. la habitación que nos diera estaba junto a la recepción y durante toda la noche movían sillones que sonaban super fuerte y en nuestros oídos por lo que me enoje a las 3 de la madrugada por que no nos dejaban dormir y golpee la pared en señal de protesta por lo que los ruidos dentro de la recepción cesaron pero no así los de los borrachos que estaban frente a nuestra habitación. en fin a las 4 de la madrugada dejaron de hacer escándalo y fue cuando. pudimos dormir pero solo un rato por que debíamos irnos a las 6 de la mañana. no. recomendamos este hotel por que el irrespeto al cliente parece ser su prioridad.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Overpriced Dump - If you like giant cockroaches and lizards as your bed mates, this is your kind of place. The toilet had to be flushed several times, you could only access the WIFI if you stepped outside into the patio/parking lot, and the coffee filter still had the grains from the last unfortunate soul who stayed in this room. The fact the office was closed and the gates shut tight at 7 pm with no sign of any other guests was warning enough, I guess, that you were about to pass the gates into Dante's Inferno. At least the air conditioning worked but there was otherwise little value for the exorbitant rate charged for a single.
• Frank (10/5): Für 2 oder 3 Nächte Empfehlenswert. - Einziges Manko ist das Waschbecken im Bad. Es ist nicht mehr richtig befestigt, so dass es eine Verletzungsgefahr gibt. Beim leichten Abstützen ist es mir entgegen gekommen. Super netter Mitarbeiter...
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Parecía q la habitación no la habían limpiado nunca con el coffe maker sucio y con moho, sin papel higiénico y con olor a cucaracha en el baño y la piscina daba terror.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Don’t stay there - Very dirty hotel, would not recommend. Fridge and microwave didn’t work. Faucet was lose.
• Mónica (8/5): Bueno - En relación precio calidad, estuvo bastante bien, solamente sugerimos más flexibilidad a la hora del check out.
• Anna (4/5): Sunkigt - Otroligt att ni ens har ett sånt sunkigt ställe med på eran sida. Eventuellt om det hade kostat runt 30$ så möjligen men tveksamt. Sedan det hör med uppgraderingar. Larvigt! Jo han talade om att vi blivit uppgraderade och då kan man ju verkligen undra från vadå??? Usch. Definitivt icke prisvärt! ACn var behållningen.
• FERNANDO (4/5): Recomendable solo por ubicación para embarque - La ubicación es muy buena y muy buena disposición de los dueños para atender, pero nos es un sitio muy limpio y no es un servicio profesional.
• Juan (10/5): - Muy buen hotel, cerca de la playa muy limpio y comodo.
• Verified traveler (4/5): À éviter - D'abord, il a fallu crier longtemps avant que l'on nous réponde. La chambre était minuscule (il ne faut pas être claustrophobe!). La climatisation était trop forte et elle ne pouvait pas être baissée. Nous avons donc dormi tout habillés. Seul point positif : sur la rue qui mène au ferry.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Sauberes Motel - Ideales Hotel für eine Nacht, erwa um morgens eine Fähre auf die Nicoyahalbinsel zu nehmen
• A traveler (6/5): Overpriced Hotel - As compared to other hotels in the same price range, I can not give it more than 3 stars.
• Greg (4/5): Not good value - The strong wifi, the microwave, fridge and coffee maker were good, but no coffee was available.. The staff were friendly. There is no hot water system in the hotel.. The rooms are small and old, and VERY dark.The price for these rooms is much too high because there is very little competition in the old and worn out town of Puntarenas. We've never paid anywhere close to this amount for a hotel that does not supply even warm water. Staying here is basically camping without a tent.
• Luis Alberto (10/5): - Excelente a pesar de que reservamos una cama matrimonial nos dieron una habitación con dos camas una matrimonial y una normal por llevábamos nuestro hijo de 1 año para estuviéramos cómodos y por el mismo precio gracias de verdad
• Rodolfo (8/5): Buena atención - Personal muy amable, atento a las necesidades de los inquilinos.
• Patricia (6/5): Punta Arenas no vale la pena - Punta Arenas es una ciudad que necesita ser mantenida el lugar no esta limpio, las calles muy malas, lo único que tiene es un faro donde se ve una hermosa puesta de sol, pero ir tan lejos para eso no vale la pena. El dueño del Hotel fue muy amable con nosotros incluso nos llevo a ver la puesta de sol
• retired (6/5): Very nice, needs physical maintenance. - Friendly and welcoming staff when we we arrived late at night. They showed us where everything was located and wanted very much for us to let them know what we needed or wanted. All week they were ready to help make our stay pleasant. They succeeded and we recommend this place to anyone staying in Puntarenas.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Good stay if you're on a slight budget - Hotel Madeleine was a bit hard to find at first. The map points you in a completely wrong direction, the one on hotels.com. The hotel itself wasn't too bad it was a little motel style setup. Locks to get into the grounds of it. Parking if you have a car. I did notice quite a bit of ants in the room, not something that really bothered me buy idk how bad their insect situation usually is. The room also had a small kitchen that had everything you needed. I didn't use it but I thought that was nice to have. Overall its a great deal for
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Puntaneras is a very nice place to visit. Very easy access to the ferry going to Paquera.
• Moliere (2/5): Stay Away From This - This is not a hotel. When I got there, there was a padlock on the iron gate of the establishment, which seems to be a cluster of cabins. I was informed by one of the tenants that the person in charge had gone out for a break. I called and no one showed up. I waited for more than two hours before deciding that I needed to find another place to spend the night. It was a frustrating experience that no other traveler should have to live through.
• Yves (2/5): Avons quitté cette chambre insalubre - Lors de notre arrivée à cet hotel on nous a montré une chambre qui ne correspondait pas du tout à ce que nous avons vu sur le site expedia. La chambre était malpropre et il y avait une odeur désagréable. Nous avons décidé de quitter et de ne pas honorer la réservation malgré qu` il fallait payer quand même. Nous comptons réclamer à Expédia ces frais.
• Verified traveler (4/5): No recomendable - Es una casa acondicionada como hotel, viejo y algunas cosas no funcionan adecuadamente. Creo que es solo para dormir y nada más.
• Jose Daniel (6/5): Pueden mejorar - El aire acondicionado no enfria lo suficiente, las puertas de vidrio del baño estaban trabadas y había fuga de agua. La atención muy amable.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Sin comentarios más que el de no volver a hospedarme en este lugar
• stephanie (10/5): Excelente - Una experiencia muy buena el lugar con un acceso Muy cómodo a las cabinas, tranquilidad, excelente trató de los dueños,cabina con todas las comodidades ...muy cerca de la playa,y de lugares para la compra de víveres y de restaurantes ....
• Birger (6/5): Good value for money - Good value for money for a one night stay
• Verified traveler (8/5): personnel accueillant, chambre propre, un peu cher - hotel propre, chambre spacieuse, personnel accueillant, piscine vue sur rue. trop loin de l'arret de bus. hotel fermé par une grille sur rue
• Karen (8/5): Very Accommodating - We had to stay at Cabinas Madeline when American Airlines delayed us to the point of missing the last ferry. We arrived after midnight and despite the fact that they were locked down for the night, we pleased to find the owners waiting up for us. They let us in and showed us the room and we crashed out. This is not the Ritz, it is a place to spend the night that is clean, affordable and secure with working AC.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Stay away. - Cobwebs, dust and dirt in the room, it looked like it had not been cleaned in years. Fuse box IN the shower. The owner and his family were very noisy (talking in front of our door until late at night) and putting the television very loud early in the morning. The mattress was very soft. Definitely not worth the price we paid.
• Carlos (8/5): Muy bien - Tenia una habitación para una persona y me dieron un amplisimo estudio con cocina sin alterar el precio. Además habia reservado dos noches y solo me pude quedar una y no hubo ningún problema. Excelente la atención de los dueños, pese a llegar a una hora un poco tardia, dandome todo tipo de indicaciones utiles para que mi visita a Puntarenas fuese provechosa. La ciudad me parecio fantástica, con todo lo que se pueda desear para estar un par de dias; creo que esta un poco infravalorada en las guias turísticas y merece un poco más de atención, en mi opinión. Gracias
• Verified traveler (4/5): Close to Ferry, Friendly Proprietors - This is a good place to stay if you need a place to crash before grabbing the ferry to the Nicoya Peninsula, and the proprietors are very friendly and accommodating. However the area is rough and the rooms are dated. The bedroom we were given was air conditioned, but only had a single bed and a double, so not ideal for a family of four. The price with taxes came to more than half of what a night at Tango Mar charges (across the gulf of Nicoya), which is a virtual paradise by comparison. So if you can catch the ferry, do so.
• Viveca (8/5): Very accomodating - I cancelled one night but even though there was a no refund policy for cancellations he didn't charge me and even upgraded my room.Convenient location to beach and good restaurants. It's a simple hotel but very small the owner was very nice. Putarenas itself doesn't have much going for it except the sunset maybe. Nice and quiet.
• Ito (8/5): Personas amables - Iba para una estancia de unos días por mi trabajo, las cabinas las usé para descansar. El propósito se cumplió bien. Las cabinas no tienen bonita vista, pero no se trataba de un viaje de vacaciones... Las personas que atienden las cabinas fueron muy serviciales y amables. La cabina estaba limpia y la limpiaron todos los días bien. La razón entre costo y beneficio fue muy buena para mí.
