Hotel Aranjuez
Wooden houses around a garden terrace in Barrio Aranjuez
About this stay
Breakfast happens outside here, on a garden terrace that stitches several old wooden houses into one property, with birds working the trees overhead and the neighbourhood waking up around it. That terrace is the whole character of the place, and the free breakfast served on it is the detail guests mention most. The rooms themselves are unfussy and spread across the houses, which means they vary, and the hot tub sits in the shared garden rather than in any room. Six minutes on foot reaches the Historical Museum Dr. Rafael Angel Calderon Guardia, four minutes the Puente de Los Incurables, and 11 47 Restaurante is a minute away. Parking, free Wi-Fi, a restaurant, an airport shuttle and accessible rooms are all listed, and the property is smoke-free.
- Garden terrace and hot tub
- Free breakfast and free Wi-Fi
- Restaurant and airport shuttle
- Accessible and kid-friendly rooms
Our take
I recommend Hotel Aranjuez to travelers who like old wooden houses around a garden terrace and a simple, friendly stay. Free breakfast, a hot tub, a restaurant and an airport shuttle add value, and the Historical Museum Dr. Rafael Angel Calderon Guardia is a six-minute walk. Anyone who needs air conditioning should look elsewhere, since it is not listed and the houses rely on the cool nights of the Central Valley to cool down. The 8.4 rating from 798 reviews is solid.
- ✓Eat breakfast on the garden terrace rather than taking it inside, it is included and it is the reason people rebook here.
- ✓Ask to see two rooms if you can, they are spread across several houses and no two are quite alike.
- ✓Skip the air conditioning worry and open the windows, valley nights cool down enough that the wooden rooms stay comfortable.
Why we love it
