Hotels With Airport pickup service in Paramaribo, Suriname

Not bad, quite clean

I had a perfectly pleasant stay at this Courtyard. Nice, simple and modern room. Overall better than an average Courtyard in the U.S. The location won't work for everyone though - the hotel is a bit out of town. We had a rental car (from Hertz), so the location wasn't an issue. There's also Avis car rental next to the hotel, but I couldn't price it up through the Avis website so not sure if it's open (if it is, I'd take a taxi form the airport to the hotel and rent a car from there). More generally, we really liked Suriname - super friendly people, we generally felt safe, the food was delicious, prices weren't crazy. All of this in stark contrast to Guyana. It seems that most countries don't need a visa to enter, but you still need to pay the entry fee online. I read multiple reports saying that you can no longer do it on arrival at PBM or ORG airport - this wasn't true as a couple of passengers from my flight were paying the entry fee on arrival at ORG (September 2023). You also need a yellow fever vax certification - this was checked by the airline at check-in. Another hopefully helpful tip - Transguyana Airlines runs 3 flights a day between the small regional airport in Paramaribo (Zorg en Hoop - airport code ORG) and its equivalent in Georgetown (Ogle - airport code OGL). These are super convenient as the main international airport in both Georgetown and Paramaribo is an hour away from the city. Note that these flights were not coming up on Kayak or *******, but were easy to book through the airline's website. FWIW, there was also a flight from PBM to OGL which may be helpful for those arriving at the main airport in Paramaribo and connecting to Georgetown. The flight itself is on a small 12-seater (Cessna Caravan) which is fun on its own. I wish I had more time in Suriname - what a fascinating country!

Super

A wonderful place in a nice, quiet neighborhood where you have everything close by (supermarket and eateries around the corner). You can walk to the Waterkant in 20 minutes, but a taxi is also easily ordered (especially recommended in the dark since you have to walk on the street in some parts). The apartments are attractive, clean and comfortable; the gazebo and swimming pool are wonderful extras. For us this was the ideal place to relax in busy but fascinating Paramaribo. Moreover, the owners are always there for you and make you feel completely at home!

The Torarica Resort is a very good hotel. The property is very expansive close to a beautiful river, and it also adjourn the Royal Torarica hotel. The staff are very friendly, they know their stuff, very professional and always wear smiles on their faces. The food in thd hotel is very hood and the portions are on the very large sizes. The only downside is the booming music coming from one or two specific bars and lounges directly opposite the hotel. The noise kept us awake most of the nights, with thunderous shakes of the windows. The hotel management must engage the government to either move the clubs or limit their unnecessarily loud music to the daytime.

Stayed a total of 4 non-consecutive nights (2+1+1) in three different rooms while on a tour (booked by travel agency). This is primarily a business hotel and is well located within walking distance of several restaurants. The major problem is the HVAC system. When I first arrived, the room was fit for a polar bear. The A/C cannot be turned off, and the thermostat can only be set between 22° and 24° (22-23° in the first room I stayed in). However, the temperature in the room is barely around 20°, and all rooms were uncomfortably cold. The air smells bad and there is major condensation on certain areas of the floor, which are always wet and slippery. The A/C in the first room was also extremely noisy, like sitting next to a running train. The rooms were otherwise reasonably comfortable. Amenities included electric kettle and coffee/tea packets. Well lit desk area. Comfortable bed and pillows (but only a flimsy blanket, absolutely insufficient for the temperature). Bathrooms with everything in working order. Good water pressure in the shower. No toiletries other than a soap bar and no hair dryer. Wifi worked well. The hotel takes a credit card pre-authorization of $50/day for incidentals, and I was informed that, if not used, it takes **one month** to release it! This is unheard of. Breakfast is à la carte without vegetarian options (although they will bring you something if you ask). Overall nothing special, and very limited seating near the serving area. The staff is highly variable: some employees are nice and helpful, while others are extremely rude.

Hotel Palacio took great care of us during a stressful travel period. We were traveling from Georgetown Guyana (where my phone was stolen) to three different destinations on different travel schedules. Hotel Palacio helped us coordinate our travel (to and from the international and local airports) in taxis and busses. They made us feel safe and secure in a very comfortable and homey environment. And they take VISA. All things two American couples are looking for when they arrive in Paramaribo. I highly recommend staying here

A wonderful super friendly place that I’d highly recommend. The staff and owners were amazing and couldn’t be more welcoming. It was like having family! The hotel garden is a little oasis of calm and green with a peaceful atmosphere. Our room was very clean and serviced to a high standard. I loved the pool and also enjoyed the tasty breakfasts. Will definitely be back!
