Comtemplating booking them here. I know awhile back there was posting on this hotel a bit mixed I recall. Trying to search them out....no luck.
Appreciate your thoughts.
Thank you

Twarag,

It's a nice place, reasonably priced. The staff is excellent. No "chica fee". A breakfast of fruit, hard boiled eggs, gallo pinto, toast and coffee is included in the rate. Many of the guests, like myself, stay for a month or more. This is now my "Costa Rica" home when I visit. Call Darren, the manager, for a good rate.

The negative reports that I have seen have been mostly by first time visitors to this site with few other posts. I think part of the problem is expecting too much from a bargain priced hotel. The biggest complaints are the thin walls/noise factor and poor bathroom lighting (if you can believe that). The big plus is the 15% discount if you pay in cash and the 20% discount if you stay for a full week or longer

Twarag,

I stayed there the last trip and I liked it just fine.
I would get the new rooms in the back on the ground floor ( w/ kitchens)
I think they are 14 thru 20 ???
or the rooms just above them. ( 2nd. floor) no kithens but good view.
The breakfast is just OK.
Good location. between Sportsmans lodge and New Fantasy.

My experience there was very positive. Room was comfortable and I thought a good value, breakfast was fair and laundry service was just a small tip away.
Location is very good, quiet neighborhood, near NF and ZB and Sportmens is just around the corner.

All the information on the above posts is good and accurate.

What are the rates at this fine establishment?

It looks to be the exact same content as the crtimes site except for a more recent copyright but the direct link for the hotel website is actually http://www.hotelcastillo.biz just in case they make any changes they forget to post. The Costa Rica Times is the same site that currently lists the Bella Mansion as a place to find "questionable women for various activities" and so doesn't inspire me with a lot of confidence as being the most up to date.
