This properly for our family was excellent location. For shopping, dinning, and for sightseeing. The hotel was very nice. The only negative would be the air conditioner next to our room was a bit noisy. I got used to it and fell fast asleep.

Very Good - best location

We had a large group, they were in an international mission, Hotel Marela proved to be the right choice. The cost-benefit is unbeatable, you get a good comfortable room, excellent location, security, amenities like a pool, and room service. The hotel is up to any international standard. Breakfast was a plus, good amount, great taste.
