Hotel Aranjuez

Great breakfast and the restaurant that is part of the hotel is incredible. Its the best bit in my opinion and I would return to the restaurant even if I stayed in a different hotel. The rooms are very dated and I had 1-inch gap between the top of the door and door frame so it didn't feel particularly private or secure. I stayed two times in two different rooms but both were noisy. Any guests arriving late or leaving early can easily be heard. The worst bit was there a semi-transparent skylight above the bathroom. The staff walk on the roof to access an area to dry towels and my girlfriend was on the toilet when someone was walking across the roof and she could easily see the person so had he looked down he could probably have seen what was going on below!! The noise of the person on the roof was also very loud.

Although it has its merits, the room walls are super thin and you can hear everything people are saying particularly if you have one of the rooms off of the court yard. Forget about trying to sleep if people are there talking. I would choose a different hotel next time.

Quick night stay here after traveling all day from Bocos Del Toro. Quick check in. Easy to find. Extremely friendly/helpful/patient/knowledgeable staff. Blocks away from central downtown.

Stayed at the annex building - clean and spacious room and bathroom, great view from the bedroom and hallway outside. Building felt safe. Free wifi. Friendly staff. Great breakfast on the patio on the main building. The main building has great ambience with the old designs and artwork and greenery. Con: The annex building hallway looks poorly maintained. My room has one wall that had frosted glass french doors (it was locked) but has no curtains - it was uncomfortable as the sun rose early and and brightens the room from the hallway light (which I turned off) and outside lights at night.

The staff were very helpful, and breakfast was excellent! They have two buildings, which I didn't know about when booking - one is the beautiful, older main building seen in the pictures, and the other is a modern apartment-style building, where we ended up staying. The modern building was fine and comfortable, though much more of a generic style. I wish we got to stay in the unique older building.
