A review built from the public listing of Hotel La Selva and its official sources. We did not stay there, so this is not a stay report.

The property

It is the closest to the square of all the places we reviewed: Carrera 3 #10-28, about 40 meters from the plaza according to its map pin. It has a 24-hour front desk, room service, laundry and family rooms, some with a balcony and a town view. Not to be confused with the La Selva rural area, one of the routes to Cueva del Esplendor.

Where it is

Carrera 3 10-28. From the listing coordinates to the main square it is 40 meters, not counting bends or slopes. Guests give the location 9.8. A few blocks away the things to do in Jardín begin.

Published amenities

Only some add a town view and a balcony, so ask when booking. Services mentioned: a 24-hour front desk and room service.

The score in context

9.2 out of 10 from 23 reviews (Booking.com, October 18, 2026). That puts it at 8 of 16 in this guide. With so few reviews, one bad night moves the average a lot. Read what guests say about noise on holiday weekends.

What trip it fits

It fits anyone who wants to step onto a balcony and see the square, and does not mind the bustle.
