Hotel Castilla

“Great if you want to be in center city of David”

Located in the center of a busy city, but it has an underground parking garage (free). Within easy walking distance to city center and many restaurants. I ate at one good restaurant just a few steps away. The room was nice. Staff spoke English. AC was powerful and the TV had some English language… more

“A cool quiet place to escape in David”

Hotel Castilla was an oasis of pleasantness in hot, noisy, dirty David. I don't know why anyone would go to David except, as we were doing, to catch a bus or plane to go elsewhere. The hotel was cool and quiet, clean, and had helpful front desk people. Centrally located. Decent restaurant attached … more

Hotel Castilla was an oasis of pleasantness in hot, noisy, dirty David. I don't know why anyone would go to David except, as we were doing, to catch a bus or plane to go elsewhere. The hotel was cool and quiet, clean, and had helpful front desk people. Centrally located. Decent restaurant attached to the hotel, which is a good thing, as the food offerings in David are not much. The internet didn't work in our rooms, though it did in the comfortable lobby. And, oddly, it has no windows that aren't frosted glass, so you can't see out of your room.

“Disappointing”

I stayed here for 2 nights after an 8-hour bus ride from San Jose, CR before continuing on to Panama City.

I stayed here for 2 nights after an 8-hour bus ride from San Jose, CR before continuing on to Panama City. Hotel is centrally located on a busy street, across from a lovely park and down the block from a large grocery store. It is right in the heart of a very lively area. Taxis are plentiful around the hotel, and it's only a $2 taxi ride to the bus station. Hotel staff were polite, helpful, and professional. Good WiFi in the room. There was a small flat screen TV, but no English-language channels. The shower was hot and had good pressure. The hotel lobby was modern, but dimly lit, as were the hallways. The room was old, dreary, and nondescript-- just a bed, desk, desk chair, and TV. Some rooms also have a side chair. The lighting in the room was very poor and the window in the room was blacked out. You couldn't see out the window or tell if it were night or day. The air conditioner was so loud that it sounded like a generator. I moved to another room, but the a/c was only slightly quieter. Besides the air conditioner, the room was quiet. I didn't hear any street noise or noisy guests inside the hotel The hotel was cheap, so I wasn't expecting luxury. However, based on the TA reviews I expected something a little nicer. This is just a place to lay your head. I wouldn't stay there again.
