Very nice property, a little bit old, door was hard to close and lock, key to turn on the light was kind of broken, but nothing unsafe or big deal. You can not beat that price

Although the location was great, the room was kinda small with just a small desk and basically the place to put your luggage. Luckily, I was there only for a few days (two) so, had not much to handle.

Habitação confortável conforme anuncio, bom atendimento na recepção, excelente localização próximo à avenida 18 de Julho. Oportunidade de melhoria no café da manhã, poderia estar um pouco mais organizado e limpo. No geral, atendeu à expectativa.

Me dieron la habitación 310. La cama eran 2 camas de 1 plaza unidas con precintos y los colchones unidos por colchonetas Me termine quedando 2 noches una por la app y otra por el hotel. Gaste 100 dólares y un desastre esa cama VERGÜENZA daba. Tengo fotos! Hice el reclamo al hotel y no tuve respuesta . He ido más de 5 veces y prefiero que me digan que tienen con cama individual que me den ese desastre.cosa que ya me ha pasado reservar matrimonial y que me den individual. Pero nunca esto que fue una vergüenza. El personal de limpieza y cafetería súper atentos, los de recepción solo los de la noche y la mañana. La tarde estaba de charla continua y la atención lamentable.
