“Comfortable, enjoyable stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

I stayed five nights at Las Farolas in February 2012 for a business meeting. The hotel and restaurant staff was courteous and efficient. The room was comfortable--good bed, plenty of pillows, lots of hot water, and everything just "worked". My room was near the back of the hotel and was extremely quiet. The hotel grounds contain a lush, tropical garden. I enjoyed seeing the banana trees and the coffee (which was ripe and ready to harvest). The location is within easy walking distance of the Parque Central, with lots and lots of dining and shopping opportunities. I'd definitely book this hotel again.

“Las Farolas: Good Location and Moderate Prices”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Las Farolas is located about 5 blocks from the central park. That's probably good to get some distance from all the downtown activity and noise. The rooms are large. Hot water is abundant. There is no air conditioning as La Antigua is/was considered relatively cool until recent years with a warming climate. There is no flow-through ventilation in the rooms, so you would be wise to request a fan from the front desk.

I have found the restaurant to be marginal, and have not eaten there over my last several stays. I much prefer breakfasts at Doña Luisa downtown, and lunch and/or dinner at the Meson Panza Verde around the corner from Las Farolas (reservations required).

There is secure parking. Best rooms are on the second floor. Avoid those that are on the street side.

Room Tip: Insist on a second floor room and away from the street. As for a fan at the reception desk as there...
