The grounds were immaculate.
Saw some birds in common area.
Food delivered to room was pretty good. Hot.
What killed us was the room was freezing with no heat or space heater or extra blanket. There was a large very cold bathroom with absolutely no hot water. Wires sticking out of the shower head. No counter or table to place toiletries. Very dark and dank. A small outdoor light fixture with probably 40 watt bulb was way above the tiny sink. No other lighting. No window light.
And nowhere comfortable to sit with room. Slat wood bench on front porch and in room.
But this location was at better pricing value than a few others we stayed at.
Overall, if there had been heat and some warm water I would have doubled my opinion.

Visit Irazú then head to a hike in Prusia and on to Turrialba, stay at the Turrialtico for an incredible view and value (and Posole and jalapeño steak,) then book a raft trip with Econaturales on the Pacuare River, ask for Michael and Eduardo as your guides, they keep you in the raft and out of the river, you’ll be happy and tired so stay another night to eat, drink, and recover- our mistake was hopping in the car and getting back on the road after 27km on the Pacuare, a perfect day!

Don't miss out on the Basilica which is the most important church of Costa Rica. It's fun to see the train make its way slowly through the town.
The main reason for visiting Cartago is of course the Irazu Volcano; it's quite easy to hop on the public bus to get there.
Unfortunately, my stay in Cartago was very short as I just needed to stay one night. However, it was worth it. I loved the place and the people. The breakfast was amazing; I felt like home, having it at a family table, surrounded by beautiful people and amazing conversations. I would definitely recommend it and will stay here again, if the future brings me back to Cartago. Thank you so much to Damaris (what a lovely human being!). Wish you all the best. Saludos y la espero en Portugal ;) un abrazo a Vero también.
The owner, Mili, was very helpful in all aspects of our stay, including the booking process, and offering recommendations for restaurants, transportation, and other activities before and after we arrived. The restaurant recommendations were unnecessary, as the food onsite was delicious. The hiking trails nearby were excellent. The hotel also offers bicycling, rafting, and horseback riding. Before we arrived and when we left, Mili was quietly standing by to coordinate any potential difficulties with logistics.
Grandpas hotel and restaurant exceeded our expectations. The location is great if you are planning visiting Volcan Irazú. The facilities are beautiful, the cabins are very comfortable and clean. The best of the hotel is the people. All the employees from the front desk to the restaurant are very warm, and nice. Always prompt to give you the best service. We were very pleased during our stay. Thank you to Axel, Edgar, María José, Emily, Pablo and all of the employees who made our stay, wonderful!
We loved our stay at this hotel, it's so cozy and nice. The room was big with beautiful views at the backyard. The breakfast was delicious with plenty of options to chose. We needed to use the laundry service and the lady in the reception arranged everything for us and the guy who did the laundry was very communicative, because he had some problems while washing our stuff and he kept us updated with what was happening and did not let us to wait.
A lovely family feeling. It has everything you need and a very warm welcome. Open kitchen and we were offered a tasty soup with the whole family. Really kind. Nice seats on the terrace. Parking space inside. Especially wonderful if you are alone or staying longer because the Señora is so kind, open and would help with anything. Highly recommend it for an oasis in Cartago. The city centre is also pleasant with some antique buildings.
If you are wanting to visit Cartago for a few days, this is a great place to stay. Solo or family Randall and Yvonne handled my booking with care and gave clear instructions on how to find their home. The bedroom I had was clean and comfortable. Kitchen is fine and seating area is adequate. I have no problem with cats, but be aware that the hosts have a couple of beloved cats!
The hotel is conveniently located in central Cartago. They have secure parking across the street. The neighborhood, while not particularly dangerous, does have a reputation for petty theft. The parking is a big plus.
The common areas are spacious and inviting. The breakfast was excellent. The staff is very helpful, pleasant and efficient.
They have created a nice place with a pool, small gym, pooltable and some sitting areas with views on the town. Garden is well maintained. Shower was nice and warm. Location was nice, just of the main road. Opposite the hotel was a cemetary, which we did not mind, but might not be good for paranormal sensitive people :).
Very cute little nest a few minutes away from Cartago in a quiet area. We really liked the effort in decoration and making the place special, with the hammock. Also a very friendly host. Unfortunately we were on our way back to Europe so we only stayed for the night and couldn’t discover the surroundings.
Really cute hostel. Very friendly and helpfull staff. Good home cooking (especially the home-made hot sauce :). Lots of humming-birds around the hostel. 7km of walking trails around the hotel (if you are a couch potatoe like me DON'T take the 'difficult' trail) , Very good value for money.
Really nice hotel run by a sweet family who enjoy talking and sharing tips for traveling around the area. The location is perfect, super close to Irazu and other natural attractions. I stayed here a total of 6 nights or so.
The owners were super friendly and helpful and the house was really big and all the amenities were great. It was also really well located for doing trips into Cartago and Irazu Volcano. Would definitely come back!
The only good thing I have to say about this hotel is the friendly staff. Emily was very nice and helpful and spoke excellent English. Oh and the location is also good and I could park the car behind their gate.
it was not comfortable. location is so so , maybe because it is absolutely nothing to do in the city of Cartago. hotel locate in the forest . there is absolutely no people there .
Maria and her daughter Denia made our stay very joyful. All her suggestions were spot on. Room was very clean and comfortable. Views from the hotel are amazing.
