This is a nice low cost hotel, friendly staff, walking distance to a 24 hour store, bakery, supermarket and a good taco place. WiFi worked fine, coffee in room.

Very clean. Maybe a little oversold but comes at a very reasonable price. Good choice for a low budget traveller.

One of the workers at the desk was amazing and Can easily work at a five star hotel, great energy, the other girl a blonde girl should not have a job, horrible customer service looks lile she hated her Job, made it awkward going through the lobby. Cleaning service was good, left valuables out, nothing went missing. Area around the hotel is “OK” little super market across the street came in handy.

Its pretty good. Overall quiet. One thing I didnt expect was to be asked for my room keys whenever I leave the hotel but I guess they have their reasons.

This hotel is on the Via España which is a big plus and still only five minutes walk from the main stretch of the Via España popular with visitors and locals starting at Iglesia Carmen. It is also only two blocks from the Riba Smith supermarket, the highest-end local supermarket. The hotel is clean but rooms of the same price vary in what they offer, one we had had a fridge but no chair, another a chair but no fridge. This hotel is very good value for the money but the rooms are tiny and you need to bring an extension cord to get to the outlet in the smaller rooms behind one bed. Internet is quick but drops out a lot. You can get hotels for less money but you also get less and the locations worsen quickly. Be careful to check your online booking to ensure that you get the room you were promised. Overall? Great value for money if location is important and very good value for money in the $35-40 range for a room. Note they do not provide shampoo or conditioner or facial tissues.

No estuvo mal pero puede mejorar. La habitación asignada tenía olor a guardado pero estaba en orden. Tuvimos un percance con nuestra habitación pero se nos atendió rápidamente y nos asignaron otra, el staff muy amable. Lo otro es que había algún huésped cantando y con música alta pero parece que nadie le dijo que podía molestar a los demás. Fuera de eso camas cómodas y descanse algo.

bien por el precio

bien relacion calidad/ precio, un poquito ruidoso porque a la esquina de dos carreteras con mucho trafico. para desayunar hay una panaderia muy bien y muy barata en frente, con desayunos muy varias pero para cenar es el principal problema en los alrededores, no hay nada.
