I have stayed at this hotel several times over the past few years. I like it for its central location and secure parking area. It is located just up from the Banco Nacional in the direction of the ocean. Many restaurants and bars are located with a couple blocks, as well as a casino. There are two types of rooms... More

To be honest we didn't like Quepos town much but the Hotel Malinche was an excellent base to visit the Manuel Antonio national park. The hotel is clean and breakfast was good and filling. The A/C worked well and the beds were of good quality. Some of the staff spoke English but speaking Spanish is to be expected here anyway.... More

The rooms were nice and it was fun to have a balcony. Air con was very loud. Staff was helpful but not very friendly.

English speaking reception, was a great surprise. The hotel offers wifi and is close to Fishing Pier, and central to all the good restaurants and bars. Hotel has been newly remodeled and staff very helpful in arranging tours and fishing trips

Within walking distance of bus station (250 colones into Manual Antonio) and restaurants in the town. Nothing special, just convenience. Slatted glass windows in bathrooms, which opened out into the corridor. Made it very noisy Staff were not particularly interested in helping or overly friendly.

Quepos itself, isn't a very charming place. The city generates noise , prostitutes and odors that can be unappealing at times. This hotel had roaches and other various insects, the walls of our room were cracking, and had a strange odor. This was worse than any hostel I have ever been in. We complained and they refused to give us... More

Only one tip - request an upstairs room. These rooms are basic but better than the downstairs ones. Have ac and tv Close to Quepos bus station. Quepos itself feels like a lawless hole. Many a trade taking place on street corners.

The room price was fair. The rooms were okay sized. No televisions and no a/c. The showers were fairly cold. The noise level from outside was very loud early in the morning. The staff at the front was not friendly, but it was okay. The bed was not comfortable. The location was nice. It was a short walk to the... More

Not quite what I was expecting. Room was nice apart from the damp around the much needed air con unit. Didnt always have hot water. Good tv. Wifi but no computer on site. One night was very noisey, other nights were of medium noise level. One night was spent jumping into a cold shower every 5 mins due to the... More

Beginning of November I booked a room at the Hotel Malinche per phone. I was offered a single room for three nights, with fan for 15$/night. However, upon arrival the rate was 30$/night (not expensive but double the price I booked the room for!). Furthermore, the room was damp, dark and utterly unappealing. According to the very unfriendly and unhelpful... More
