• TravelinGal147289 (10/5): What a delightful stay - We had a very pleasant but short stay here and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. We actually wished we could have stayed longer, but we will definitely return to Hotel y Restaurante El Guarco on our next visit to Cartago. The hotel was clean, the staff was beyond friendly and helpful, and the food was truly outstanding.All were above and beyond expectations.
• RHONDAX13 (10/5): -
• Maguelonne (8/5): - Nous avions reservé pour 4 personnes et nous avions donc un logement avec 2 chambres. C'était très grand, propre, agréable. Restaurant très bon. Réservation pour 4 mais dans le logement il n'y avait que 3 chaises, 3 verres. L'equipement en vaisselle est très réduit.
• Patricia (8/5): - Genial todo y su desayuno también Por decir algo. Llegamos y no pudimos cenar porque tenían un evento. Hubiera estado bien que nos avisaran
• Dirk (7/5): - Sehr großes Zimmer. Unser Zimmer lag direkt über dem Saal an dem zumindest am Wochenende Veranstaltungen durchgeführt werden. Wir waren Samstag und Sonntag dort und bekamen dies durchaus mit. Die Lautstärke war aber nicht so schlimm wie der Verkehr Abends und vor allem morgens.
• Maria Luisa (8/5): - La poca iluminación del cuarto de baño
• Soto (10/5): -
• URCUYO RIVAS (8/5): - Era un cuarto grande perfecto para lo que necesitábamos. Buenas camas y almohadas. Cerca de restaurantes, y mini super
• Frederic (6/5): - Petit déjeuner au top Personnel très gentil par contre emplacement assez bruyant vu la proximité de la route Le bruit
• José Gutiérrez Chavarria (10/5): Apartir de hoy mi lugar favorito de hospedaje en Cartago. - Todo. Desayuno, personal, lugar, comodidad, todo. Deben ponerles hules a la camas en las patas, cada que me subía, bajaba la cama se deslizaba por el cuarto, jajaja fue vacilón....
• Lucie (6/5): C’était juste une nuit… - La nourriture était excellente au souper et au déjeuner inclus Le lit était très dur et on aurait cru dormir sur le highway tellement c’était bruyant. Nous dormions dans la partie avant, derrière possiblement mieux.
• Abigail (8/5): -
• BRANDON (10/5): -
• Thomas Richard Erich (8/5): Perfekte Örtlichkeit für unsere Zwecke, da Auto gesichert und früher Start zur Weiterreise möglich. - Die Lage des Hotels ist für uns ideal für eine Weiterreise in den Süden am frühen Morgen. Das Personal ist immer sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Da wir lediglich übernachten, können wir keine Angabe zum Frühstück machen.
• Quiros (8/5): Relajante y fresco - La ubicación y el clima Mucha claridad en la habitación para dormir
• Stephanie (10/5): - Muy cómodo, el buffet buenisimo, la ubicación se me hace bastante cómoda, hay un ampm a 2 minutos caminando así que nunca te hará falta nada, también hay restaurantes cerca

• Sonja Michaela (8/5): - Gute Lage, sehr freundliches Personal, sicherer Parkplatz,bgute Zimmerausstattung, gutes Frühstück! Eher hellhörig, Lärm durch andere Gäste
• Maria (10/5): -
• Lena (4/5): - Gut für einen Halt auf der Durchreise. Das Zimmer ist sehr klein. Wenig Frühstück.
• Perez (10/5): -
• firepower777 (6/5): Okay Hotel, Dated Rooms, Clean - This is one of the few hotels in the La Lima area of Cartago, Costa Rica and is an okay place to stay. It was clean (no bugs) but the rooms and bathrooms are pretty dated and none of the staff seemed to speak much English. As others have mentioned it can be a little noisy since it's right off the main road and the outdoor part of the restaurant tends to attract social groups that can be a little loud at night. In my room there was no switch for the lights above the beds. The restaurant is okay with a nice complimentary breakfast but it's only open for a single hour in the morning. They did seem to have a fair selection of food though. All in all this is an okay place to stay if you need to be near the Free Trade Zone in the La Lima, Cartago area. It likely won't last long though if other more modern hotels are built nearby.
• Lilliana (9/5): -
• Paula (10/5): -
• Max (9/5): Visita Familiar a Cartago - La atención del personal, la ubicación y las instalaciones en general. Las almohadas eran muy suaves.
• Juan (9/5): Comfortable hotel for short stays - Nice room Restaurant Parking At night, there was a very noisy and smelly truck inside the hotel, next to my room, for over an hour and turned on without driver. Gladly the receptionist helped as soon as I called them.
• Jay (8/5): -
• Patricia (7/5): - Lo que más me gustó fue la atención de los meseros y la habitación muy espaciosa y cómoda No me gustaron las almohadas, ni el ruido que hace la gente en la mañana, los mismos que trabajan en el hotel, seguramente; parece que se comunicaran a gritos y se olvidan que hay personas durmiendo.
• Rafael (9/5): - Objetivo estar cerca de Cartago. Buen parking y buen desayuno
• Roy (8/5): -

• giacomo (8/5): -
• Cristian Jose (10/5): Lugar cómodo y tranquilo buena comida y desayuno - Demasiado bueno el desayuno y la ubicación perfecta para mis propósitos Todo me agrado
• ADRIAN (10/5): - Siempre que nos hospedamos en el Hotel El Guarco, la experiencia ha sido excelente. Hemos estado en varias ocasiones a lo largo de los años, incluyendo una estadía de aproximadamente dos semanas recientemente, y en cada visita el trato ha sido excepcional. El personal siempre va más allá para que uno se sienta cómodo y bien atendido. Un detalle que valoramos muchísimo es cómo tratan a mi perro de servicio, Chewie. No solo lo reciben con amabilidad, sino que incluso le ofrecen agua y algo de comida, lo cual hace que nuestra estadía sea aún más especial. Este tipo de gestos muestran una calidez humana que no se encuentra en todos los lugares. Gracias por su dedicación y por hacer que siempre queramos volver.
• Ronil (8/5): - I like the great WiFi and good service. I don’t like that the hotel was on a noisy highway.
• ADRIAN (10/5): - We
• Silvia (5/5): Very basic (borderline uncomfortable) and very noisy (close to the road - walls not insulated) but convenient for those - Staff Breakfast Sound insolation from the road Comfort of room Decor of the room
• Adrian (10/5): - Very clean, and conveniently located for our needs. We enjoy the restaurant eating areas both indoors and outdoors. Very friendly and helpful staff. Thank you very much!
• Gerardo (10/5): - Very well accessible location in Camargo, Staff is very friendly, capable, and did their best to accommodate our needs
• Bernal (10/5): Muy bien. Exelente - Lugar muy cómodo. Limpio. La ducha Exelente. Sábanas y cama muy cómodas. Desayuno muy bien.
• Jenica (8/5): - Cosy hotel with wonderful weekend brunch.
• Bas (8/5): Very good - Great restaurant on site!
• Gerardo (10/5): - The property is very well located, with access to restaurants & close to the mall. The staff is awesome, very friendly and always willing to help! Since it's in the main road, it could get noisy at times due to the traffic.
• GTM (10/5): Buen servicio - Habitación limpia y ordenada. Restaurante con un amplio menú. Recomendado
• Rick (1/5): Bad - Clean and safe Lights
• Bradford (8/5): - Easy to find right of the main route. Staff was very pleasant and helpful
• Patricio (8/5): El Guarco - In general the hotel is good and with all the necessary things of a time to rest. The only thing was that the cable tv didn’t work and service wasn’t restored after three days.
• Christian (6/5): Am Stadtrand am Weg zum Vulkan - Einfache Unterkunft, nettes Restaurant, Frühstück gut, nettes Personal
• Giorginella (10/5): - .
• Chris (8/5): Very good -
• Gerardo (10/5): - The Staff in all areas is very friendly and do their best to provide great service. For instance, the staff in the restaurant was very accommodating on our dietary needs, since my family is allergic to gluten and dairy products. Since the day we visit it was breakfast buffet, they helped us to cook some eggs for us to avoid cross contamination. The only thing that we noticed is that the hotel is could be a little noisy, as is quite close to the main street. (which at the same time is convenient for easy access).
• Gloriana (6/5): - Las instalaciones estaban muy bien, el desayuno muy rico Entraba mucha claridad en las habitaciones y por la madrugada había mucho ruido
• Veronica (10/5): - Excelentes, muy buen desayuno,
• Mark (10/5): Great spot. - Easy access and very clean room.
• Aqua_Uomo (10/5): Great place! - Me and friends spent a night in out trip from the Atlantic to the Pacific on January 3. This is corporate hotel, great location, great hotel, and restaurant. We had diner and breakfast. Professional staff, hotel and restaurant people were very friendly and accommodating. Rooms were on the main floor, parking right in front of the room. The grounds are locked and guarded over night, safe and secured. Rooms were large and comfortable, nothing to complain about. Fully recommended.
• Anghelo (8/5): Very good - Close to my work N/A
• Stacey (10/5): - I loved the food and staff. Bed was a bit firm for me but room was beautiful. Only downfall is do not follow the map expedia has linked to this hotel it is the wrong location! Hopefully expedia can update this for future tourists
• Ana (10/5): - Love everything specially the back open eating area
• Simone (8/5): For a transit a perfect place to stay! - It was a one night transit stay. The stuff was great. Very helpful, even with me just speaking a little Spanish. The room was clean, except some hair in the linen and the light in the bathroom. Dead flies in the light bulbs makes the bathroom very dark. Something to complain about is the misleading description at Expedia. The reception opening time is longer than 4 pm! The since of the Junior Suite is far away from 90m2! It's a regular room with a sofa.
• Ana (10/5): - Amazing staff
• Terry (8/5): Very good -
• Caio (9/5): Superb -
• Tessa (9/5): Superb -
• Vivi (4/5): Not a good stay - Service, lobby Property is very old, beds grind terrible, bathroom look old and dirty, room did not smell good, neither pillows or duvet.
• Marisol (8/5): Todo bien - Todo muy bien excepto que las camas eran exageradamente duras y sonaban mucho. Sim embargo, todo lo demás bien.
• Erick (8/5): - Mucho ruido a los alrededores.
• Maria (10/5): - Suepr recomendado! La atención es muy buena, ligar seguro, limpio y comida muy buena!
• Wade and Tonya (6/5): - One of the only large hotels to stay in this area. Unfortunately it’s on a very busy road and traffic is heard 24/7. We enjoyed the Dinning a the staff was very helpful and nice. Parking felt secure as they allowed us to park within the alcove which had a gate and foot security. We stayed here for convenience but did not sleep well at all.
• Rodolfo (10/5): - Bien para negocios o para las horas que se usa
• ADRIAN (10/5): - I recently stayed at Hotel El Guarco in Cartago for three nights with my partner and my service dog, and once again, it was an outstanding experience. This isn’t our first time staying here, and every time, the service gets better. The staff is always incredibly attentive and friendly, making us feel very welcome. The delicious breakfast included with our stay is always a highlight—there’s a great variety, and everything is fresh and flavorful. It’s also a bonus that some of the staff speak English, which makes communication easy and comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting the area—whether for business or leisure. We’ll definitely be back!
