We had to stay at Cabinas Madeline when American Airlines delayed us to the point of missing the last ferry. We arrived after midnight and despite the fact that they were locked down for the night, we pleased to find the owners waiting up for us. They let us in and showed us the room and we crashed out. This is not the Ritz, it is a place to spend the night that is clean, affordable and secure with working AC.

Very Accommodating

I cancelled one night but even though there was a no refund policy for cancellations he didn't charge me and even upgraded my room.Convenient location to beach and good restaurants. It's a simple hotel but very small the owner was very nice. Putarenas itself doesn't have much going for it except the sunset maybe. Nice and quiet.

Very accomodating

Property was easy relatively easy to find. We drove from the SJO airport.  Does have air conditioner which was very necessary as it was about 100F heat index.  I did not use the TV.  Wifi connection was spotty.  Place was quite noisy.  People living on the property play their music loudly in the evening. Loud talking and laughing. Property was also right off the main road. Truck traffic added to the noise.  I did not use the pool.  Close to ferry.  Have to operate a heavy iron gate to get car into parking area. Basic room.

Think “Bare Minimum” we needed a spot to stay because we missed the last ferry. The staff was friendly but the rooms were closer to a run down hostel than any kind of hotel. Will get you through the night, but not a place you expect for an extended stay.

Get you through the night, no more.

As compared to other hotels in the same price range, I can not give it more than 3 stars.

Overpriced Hotel

Friendly and welcoming staff when we we arrived late at night. They showed us where everything was located and wanted very much for us to let them know what we needed or wanted. All week they were ready to help make our stay pleasant. They succeeded and we recommend this place to anyone staying in Puntarenas.

Very nice, needs physical maintenance.

Hotel Madeleine was a bit hard to find at first. The map points you in a completely wrong direction, the one on hotels.com. The hotel itself wasn't too bad it was a little motel style setup. Locks to get into the grounds of it. Parking if you have a car. I did notice quite a bit of ants in the room, not something that really bothered me buy idk how bad their insect situation usually is. The room also had a small kitchen that had everything you needed. I didn't use it but I thought that was nice to have. Overall its a great deal for

Good stay if you're on a slight budget

Good value for money for a one night stay

Good value for money

Pros: relatively clean, good sized room, tv, microwave, small fridge and coffee machine and effective air con, liquid soap in the bathroom, really friendly hosts. 

Cons: the beds were quite hard, the room needs some TLC and maintenance (although they seem to be doing that on the back units). But mostly, it was the bathroom that was not nice. The tap in the sink shot water at the wall in a small side stream instead of into the sink and there was a terrible smell coming from the whole bathroom. After showering we figured it was hair clogging the drain and stagnant water/shower gunk collecting around that as the shower didn't drain properly. We had to keep the bathroom door shut at all times and limit our time in there. You could smell it as soon as you entered the unit, so I'm not sure how it's not been picked up on. Some draino should clear the drain and a good scrub of the shower and toilet would hopefully eliminate the issue! Ok for one night but I'd struggle to stay here again. 

Pros and cons 

The hotel and.surrounding town are not much to look at, but the staff was very friendly, AC/ wifi worked well. Shower/ bed were fair.It was nice to find several restaurants, shops and the beach within a short walk.
