Large, comfortable 2-room suites with strong air conditionaing and a great view from the roof-top bar. I was concerned we might have a lot of traffic noise from the bridge but it was not a problem. The only reason I deducted one star was the location. It is the farthest from old town while still being in Getsemani. So, plan to walk bit to get to old town and it can get hot during those walks.

We stayed at the Armería Hotel over Christmas and had a wonderful experience. Luis and Reinaldo were incredible—so helpful, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. The hotel itself is very nice and perfect for families. The massages were fantastic, and the breakfast staff were amazing every morning—always kind, helpful, and cheerful. The bathrooms are a bit dated and could use an upgrade, but they were still comfortable. Because of the warm weather, we did have a small lizard in one room and a large beetle, but the staff handled everything quickly and helpfully. Overall, the service truly made the difference, and we really enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back!

Majestic, charming boutique hotel that is in a great location in Getsemani. The people are very friendly and it has a pool looking over San Felipe and the marina. My room needs some repairs - e.g the shower but overall I really like this place
