Hotel Las Brumas

Check-in was interesting when the hotel didn't have our Expedia reservation. Staff were every accommodating by giving us an apartment across the road instead of the room that was booked. However, the apartment was unprepared for guests and some essentials were missing from the room which were provided by the night porter. Open louvre windows could have explained the insects and slight road dust in the apartment kitchen on arrival. The staff did their best but it was not the experience we were hoping for, though breakfast was great.

The hotel has potential but would benefit from improvements in several areas.

On the bright side, the hot water worked well, and the internet connection was stable throughout my stay. However, noise was a noticeable issue—sounds from neighboring rooms and above were quite audible. Adding soundproofing to the walls and windows would go a long way in enhancing guest comfort. While earplugs are provided, I found them uncomfortable to wear through the night.

The rooms are compact, which is understandable, but adding a few basic amenities like a mini-fridge would make the stay more convenient. A hallway water dispenser was unfortunately empty during my two-night stay, and no bottled water was provided in the room—something that’s generally expected in hotels worldwide.

Breakfast is offered through a nearby restaurant. I tried it once for breakfast and once for dinner, but found the meals lacking in both flavor and presentation. While the restaurant operates independently, it’s part of the overall guest experience, and the quality might be worth reviewing.

Lastly, the bed linens were quite worn out. Though clean, some old stains were still visible. Replacing them with newer sets would improve the impression of cleanliness and comfort.

Excelente lugar y el personal muy amable

I didnt like the traffic noise and the annoying barking dog. This is my second stay and found the same dog still there barking. I asked myself why the Hotel management doesn't talk to the dog's owner about the dogs barking.
I thought the price was reasonable.

Great view of city lights and sunrise from enclosed terrace. Friendly staff. Games available for kids. Great breakfast.

Die Stadt Cartago ist für einen Besuch nicht wirklich interessant. Das Hotel ist sauber, nett, ... ist halt in dieser nichts sagenden Stadt wo es immer windig ist und eher kalt.

It was very clean and helpful staff.
It is just a long way to Cartago central. 4000 colones taxi. Good food and safe

Clean, quiet place. No deadbolt or lock from inside so I didn't feel very safe. No amenities like refrigerator, coffee maker or air conditioning. The weather was comfortable though.

Great hotel to stay at with friendly staff. Room was huge, clean and comfortable. It's quite despite it's location along the freeway. Very good breakfast with options, on-site free and gated parking.

Excellente situation pour acceder au volcan irazu, le départ à 12h nous permet de revenir dans la chambre après l'excurtion du volcan.

Excelente atención, personal con mucha amabilidad, excelente trato!!

Lugar muy cómodo, limpio, silencioso. Excelente desayuno y trato de todos los colaboradores.

A little bit far from Cartago center

If you stay here, be sure to ask for one of the rooms to the right of the parking lot, NOT upstairs. Our first night was upstairs and miserable; the road noise is loud and continuous, you can hear everything that happens in reception, and the walls are paper thin to the point that I could hear the people in the room next to us using the toilet. We told them we weren't going to be able to stay the second night and the very helpful staff showed us one of the rooms farther from the road and it was like a completely different and we had zero issues.
Breakfast was delicious, the staff was wonderful, rooms were clean...just avoid the upstairs room like the plague.

Cartago has very limited hotel options but Hotel Las Brumas was a great little place to base. They have 16 brand new rooms which we didn’t get but are much larger. I’d recommend asking for them. The breakfast was great next door at Mi Tierra which is also a great place to eat dinner. There are some fantastic restaurants close by that I’d recommend as well. Woods Pizza is absolutely amazing. The vibe is strong and the pizza is very good. Mama Lila is an Argentinian steakhouse in a 100 year old house and I’d argue would be at home in any world class city. Cannot say enough about this place and their team. Gubser Ticino is a really solid family run Italian style place with fresh pasta. The chef is from the very southern tip of Switzerland but has a great sense of Italian food.

Una estancia muy agradable. El personal muy agradable y trataron de hacerme sentir como en casa. La habitación también bastante confortable, con una vista preciosa y unas camas cómodas.
El único punto no agradable es el uso del restaurante, pues debe salir uno a la calle y es un tanto incómodo sobre todo si está lloviendo.

Staff at the front desk were very helpful and friendly and spoke reasonable English fortunately. Car park with locked gate. Room and bathroom spacious but only a small ledge to put things on in bathroom. Restaurant attached with average food. This was early in covid before we found out we had to leave the country early and social distancing was practiced. Good advice on country road outside the Volcano which was closed down.

If you are going to the Irazu volcano, this hotel's location is perfect; however, the hotel is on a busy highway with many trucks using their brakes and horns. If you are not interested in their location, there may be better choices somewhere else in Cartago. The room was large and very clean, as was the entire facility. Security was also very good. I wish there had been an English speaking channel on the cable service so the evenings passed quicker. The staff was very helpful, even resetting wifi. Good breakfasts were provided in the restaurant next door.

Un lugar muy acogedor, tranquilo instalaciones muy cómodas y el servicio ee restaurante fabuloso.

En realidad eramos 3 familias, 1 familia por habitacion y a las 3familias nos encanto el Hotel, habitaciones amplias, super tranquilo, cerca de varios lugares interesante, excelente opcion
