We had the best lunch to celebrate our son's graduation. The food was delicious, they cooked it really fast and the prices were balanced. I really think this is the best food we ever had in Cartago! Definitely we recommend it! 

Best restaurant in Cartago! 

Like others, we chose Grandpas Hotel to be close to Irazu Volcano.  We were very comfortable in the cottage.  Yes, it gets cool at night and the cute little space heater doesn't produce much heat but, really, it's not THAT cold.  We had everything we needed and we had both dinner and breakfast at the onsite restaurant.  The food was fine and everyone working there was very nice.  The views are lovely, the location was good, and I would stay here again.

A charming place to stay

My wife and I arrived at Grandpa's Hotel after a long drive.  The property offers bungalows that we found rustic, spacious, and comfortable.  They are drafty, and it was chilly the night we stayed, but they provide space heaters for each room to take the edge off.  We opted to eat at a nearby restaurant rather than the onsite restaurant for dinner our first night.  We had breakfast onsite the following morning and it was very unremarkable.  It's a beautiful property though and a great base if you plan to visit Irazu and/or Turrialba volcano.

Beautiful property close to Irazu volcano

We stayed here for one night before driving to Irazu volcano the next morning. The hotel is really easy to find, it’s just off the main road to Irazu (219).

We stayed in a cabin, which had two double beds and a bathroom. It was spacious, comfortable, really clean and private. The was a front porch with lovely views over their garden and the valley. Good WiFi throughout.

A really nice breakfast was included with a choice of cooked food (typical Costa Rican, omelette, pancakes and cereal), plus fruit and coffee. We highly recommend the pancakes. Window tables have superb views over the valley. Dinner available.

The staff were wonderful, really friendly and helpful. We’d definitely recommend staying here.

It takes 30 minutes by car to drive to Irazu volcano.

Perfect location for visiting Irazu

We stayed here for one night for vistiting the volcano „Irazú“. The staff is really friendly and the rooms are very nice and clean. The prices for the beverages are totally fine and the food was good. We truly recommend this hotel. Everything was just perfect! 

Great place!

We used Grandpas Hotel as our base for visiting Irazu volcano and Cartago. It's a little bit a drive to the city, but fantastic location for Irazu.
The cabins are very clean and comfortable. Good beds.
Service at reception and breakfast was impeccable and super-friendly. 
Beautifully manicured hotel grounds outside of town on highway 219.

We could hear some street noise from the highway in our room, but it wasn't bothersome.

Great location, rooms, service

We had 34 people and booked the entire hotel.  It could not have been better. Congrats to Gustavo and the entire staff for making our week in Cartago awesome!  From the time we got off of our bus everything was as smooth as possible!

Mission Trip

We booked this hotel as we were looking for a hotel near vulvano Irazu. We did not expect to stay in such a lovely place. We stayed in a house with two queen beds, the room was big enough and spotless clean. The grounds of the hotel are very well kept and the food in the restaurant is delicious. Cathago is about 15 minutes with the car and the hotel is on the way to vulcano Irazu. We can highly recommend staying here.

Lovely hotel near Vulcano Irazu

After a long and stressful drive we arrived much later than expected just before 7pm. Luckily enough we had called and found out that the kitchen closes at 7pm and were able to pre order a pizza.

After arriving the day and night shifts were just about to switch and the hotel receptionist was quite in a hurry to get us checked in, no information about tours, breakfast times etc. We had to eat our food in the room and had to ask for chairs and a table since there were none in the room.

Pretty cold at night but plenty warm under the adequately thick covers. Unfortunately the road was pretty active until late in the evening and you could hear it well. Wifi was very good. The staff on the following day were very friendly but did not ask why we decided to leave a day earlier than planned. Breakfast, cappuccino were above average and the restaurant staff was very friendly! 

All in all spacious but simple wooden cabins that would need some updating and love. Definitely an average or slightly above average (3.5 if thatcwere an option) accommodation but not more in my opinion. 

Basic spacious wooden cabin that needs some love

I wanted to love this place but there are definitely some issues. 
We needed to find a nice hotel for our trip to the Irazu Volcano and didn’t want a long drive from San Juan so this place got the best reviews and it was very reasonable. Indeed it looks pretty from the outside and the people who welcomed us were very nice and only wanted to please. Unfortunately we don’t speak much Spanish and they don’t speak any English but we managed. 
It was pretty cold out and the rooms only have a small 10” x 12” space heater.  They told me it would be enough to heat the room but it didn’t heat more than 12” away.  There is no insulation so it was pretty cold all night but the blankets were sufficient. Just made it hard to get out of the shower. They don’t have shampoo or any toiletries and the towels are rather small. Just had the very basics. 
On the positive side, the room was spacious and clean and had a rustic homey feel.  The people who run it are very nice and want to do everything to make you happy. Thanks to Google Translate I had a good vegetarian breakfast. There were enough choices and I had the Grandpas breakfast without the meat - I wanted to try their rice and beans and friend banana. Everything was cooked well and fresh. They even gave us sliced tomatoes, which weren’t on the menu. Coffee was pretty good too. 
I don’t think I would come here again when it’s cold but for the price and overall stay, it was good. Just remember it is very basic but the people are very nice.
