This older and beautiful hotel sits in the heart of Old Town so is central to many fine restaurants and great shopping. The manager, Martha, is amazing. She is knowledgeable of the area and professional at all times with a warmness that we very much appreciated. The pool area along the river were wonderful! All in all a lovely few days spent there!

Garlands del Rio is a charming boutique hotel. It is their people that stand out and keep people coming back. Martha, Rico and Ivan are all exceptional. The hotel itself is very nice, clean and convenient to everything in the Zona Romantica. We were there during the cartel violence and the hotel staff kept us safe and secure. They did their best under extremely difficult situations. We definitely will return and visit them again.

Friendly staff. Convenient location in Zona Romantica. Enjoyed the character of buildings, decor and access to sister properties (roof top pool & beachside rests). Martha was extremely kind & helpful, as were all front desk staff. Unexpected bonus was access to a shared guest kitchen and dining area. Enjoyed cool breeze and shaded side River front room. Peaceful. Despite being in the heart of fun celebrations!!! ♥️✨👍

Staff was exceptional and the hotel has such charm - absolutely gorgeous. The pool area was so relaxing and lush. Our room was on the main floor and not as nice as some of the other rooms in the photos but we were only there for one night. We would totally stay there again and upgrade to another suite. A hidden gem in Zona Romantica ❤️
