It was an old hotel, but apart from one very large cockroach, it was very clean. You need to realise that these cockroaches fly in and the window was open. I would definitely stay there again during the Carnival of Flowers. For just an overnight stay it was fine.

If what you look for is somewhere to sleep, it's totally fine . If you're on a tight budget and not look for the most convenient and comfortable stay, it's is welcome. I'm happy with my stay, with what I paid for. 🙂

The Met Hotel is very base level accommodation. Suitable for a one night stay if you don’t plan to spend any time at the room except for sleeping. While the condition of the property itself is older, it is kept quite clean.

A good nights sleep

I really liked this little hotel, it was quiet and the location was really good. We had easy contact with the reception ( called a number). Important for guests to know that the entrance is around the side/back of the building. We stayed one night but slept very good. Downside is shared bathroom but its not the end of the world
