Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The same day I checked into caribé I was checked out in less than four hours. It looks nothing like the pictures, the outside of the hotel is nasty and looks horrible. I had to stop someone and ask if I was at the right place. Upon entering the room, it’s dimly lit due to one light bulb in the room, the furniture is outdated and the noise outside is unbearable. I would not recommend anyone to stay at this hotel, this hotel is a catfish and looks nothing like the photos, it’s just dingy looking and I felt so unsafe being there. I contacted Expedia immediately and demanded a refund, I told them they could keep one night but I needed to leave, the aesthetic of this place almost ruined my boyfriend birthday trip and I will not recommend anyone to stay there.

Good hotel

The hotel is decent and for the price not bad. The neighborhood is a little dicey and I don’t recommend walking around the hotel. Service was nice, rooms were comfy, breakfast was included. There was hot water some of the time, no hairdryers available, but overall a really good deal. It’s central to everything if you take uber.
