I didn't have any of the negative issues that the other posters had. My room had a view of the pool and was pretty nice. Internet worked fine. They were friendly to me when I arrived at 1:00 AM. I had a chartered taxi so cannot comment on the shuttle. Wake up calls were on time. The food service was... more

Yes, what shall I say about this hotel in Suriname. I stayed in the "old"Torarica, not in the new one. Everything is close by. The Fort Zeelandia, and the mainstreet. Palmentuin is almost 5 minutes walking. It is a busy street, with lot of people, cars and noise! Even this noise is coming to your room. Room: dark, basket of... more

This is the case of a hotel having little or no competition (to date), and it shows. They make their money from the casino and locals at the bar, so have little or no interest in the rooms or gustes that occupy them. Among the problems I had were : Offered airport pick-up (they didn't show). Dropped off Torarica Royal... more

Business trip to Paramaribo. Arrived on a very busy KLM flight and took the free hotel mini bus to the Torarica. Journey seemed to last forever and didn't arrive at destination till it was dark. Check in was ok and easily sorted out a WiFi password, room safe and a currency change. Had a room on the second floor and... more

I was in Suriname for two weeks for business, my first night, after a long journey I was booked at the Torarica. The facilities there are nice, but the room is not what I am accustomed to as a US business traveler. I moved next door to the Royal Torarica which opened in October of 2007. This hotel is on... more

The Torarica Hotel is the best (until the Royal Torarica Hotel opens) Paramaribo hotel. The location isnot in the middle of everything, but all is within walking distance. There are plenty of eating locations within a few blocks. For those not familiar with Suriname, poverty is a part of the contry. However, this shouldnot be a mark against the hotel.... more

I went to Paramaribo on business a few years back and think about my trip often. I decided to write a review for others so that you know what to expect before you go. Suriname is an interesting destination choice but it can be intimidating. I was on business, so my experience may have been very different. The country is... more

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights, December 13th and 14th, 2007. This was upon returning from a 4 days stay at a nature lodge down in the southeast of the country. This hotel has it all. Great rooms, restaurant, great food, bar, casino, swimming pool, grass tennis courts, childrens play area, river views. The staff, front desk, bar-tenders,... more

My expectations were low after having visited Guyana. However, this hotel was great. The location is central and yet, not "city" central. The hotels feels very European... with a lovely lobby, a dining room that provides the option of dining inside or poolside. The room was clean and comfortable with all conveniences available. The service level was good, staff were... more
