It's meant for a short stay, close to Casco Viejo and coast line. Clean bed and bathroom. Needs some maintenance. Beware, there's no hot water if that's a deal breaker for you.

My request for an airport pickup was not honored.
The room should have microwave, since the hotel does not offer breakfast.

The place is fine for staying just one night, at least that's what I thought. The hotel is ok, it's close to a metro station, has shampoo, soap and towels, it's got the basics. However, there was a tiny cockroach in the bed the morning after. The place can have whatever it might, but this puts it on the very bottom of the scale

The hotel is located next a casino and in a bad part of town. The rooms are old and dirty. The sheets are filthy and no hot water. Had to change rooms 3 times because of problems. The plaster walls are crumbling and the bathroom has cockroaches coming out of the shower drain. I will never recommend or stay in this place ever again . So disgusting.
