It was in a great location! Walkable to almost anything you want to do such as look at sights or go get some food and drinks. The rooftop was beautiful!

The hotel is decent. Not even 3-stars in my opinion. We didn’t have hot water for 2 of the 3 days we were there. The AC in the room kept making a loud chipping noise so we had to either leave the AC on and deal with the noise, or turn it off and burn up. The breakfast is also a bit overrated. The only plus was the staff. They are friendly, professional, and accommodating. The hotel did give me a complimentary taxi back to the city, which I appreciated for my inconvenience.

Staff was amazing. Super friendly and helpful. Free breakfast at the roof top was convenient and good. Rooms are outdated. We had to move rooms because we had no hot water and our ceiling was leaking our second night. I would stay again just being the staff made it pleasurable and like I stated super helpful.

El Carmen was centrally located and the staff were very helpful and responsive (in person and via WhatsApp) which enabled a smooth check-in/check-out and arranging a transfer to the airport. Our stay came with a free breakfast which was really convenient. The property and room were clean, air conditioned (with an in room mini-split), renovated, and had filtered water available. The standard king size room was small but perfect for my 1 night stay.

Beautiful hotel but needs some Renovation. There was mold shower and wall. Customer service was good. My honest opinion this hotel just needs deep cleaning. The restaurant charges for ice $2.00
