This time, I got a quiet room, which was a big improvement over past noisy stays. For the price, it was great—spacious, quiet, with good Wi-Fi, TV, and hallway access to drinking water. Essentials like soap, shampoo, toilet paper, and towels were all provided. A solid budget-friendly option in a great location. Just be sure to request a room away from the street if you're sensitive to noise.

While the hotel is a good value, and I have stayed here before many times, it is not a high end hotel. Very run down and aged. Staff was friendly and my only issue was the shower has too much water pressure, and beats down on you. Also, lots of small bugs in the rooms. The positive, was the WiFi actually worked the entire time, compared to previous visits and the hotel is very close to El Conde.

The area is not properly acomodated to stay and the air conditioning does not work and everything is old in the rooms, smells really bad, not a safe area at night. There were no towels and room was not totally apropiate to sleep, very noisy and lots of people coming in and out of the hotel when not staying

People who work there are very friendly and helpful / polite. Place is very fair priced. Rooms (at least mine, smallest category) are very simple and very small. Breakfast is small but enjoyable. Overall - very recommendable - and perfect for small budget.

The location is the main attraction, for sure! You'll be within walking distance to some of the city's most iconic places. Depending on the room you get and its location in the building, your mornings could be very noisy or tolerable due to traffic outside.

The location is the BEST! it is walkable to the main places in la Zona Colonial. It is affordable, easy to check in and check out. I recommended for thoes who just want to leave your bags and walk and be out all day. It a simple hotel, to check in and check out. Its not the best for resting and having a comfortable silent evening.
