Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Great location,spacious room with lot of storage,loved the balcony with table and chairs. Bed was very comfortable.Breakfast was ok.
Negative thing- Staff doesn’t speak English.Staff wasn’t very friendly(all the men working at the reception). Only friendly person working there was woman with curly hair who made effort to communicate through phone translation.
Don’t let the pictures fool you; the place looks run down, there are stains on the walls, missing paint, chipped doors, broken furniture, dirty shower, etc. The breakfast is ridiculously basic.
We had booked an executive room (with a balcony) and we got a regular room. They refused to move it to another room (apparently they overbooked their executives?) but also refused to refund us the price difference.
Also the neighborhood is really dodgy the minute it gets dark.
Stay away.
Everyone was very nice, helped me up the stairs with my bag. Also, spoke English which was good for me. Near the main street and Malecon, so lots to eat! I felt safe walking around alone. They even made me an early breakfast, and brought it to my room, before my early flight. Also called a taxi to the airport for me. And the room was nice, had everything I needed, including A/C, internet and hot water!
It was very nice, especially after being remodeled. Comfortable and everyone there was very kind and accommodating. We had a problem with our shower drain that first night and after informing them they fixed it right away. They were also knowledgeable of the area, so if it is your first time there they can definitely tell you the best places to go.

Room didn't look as expected
The pictures looked way different than the actual room. The bed frame was ripped up and not pleasant looking. The wifi didn't work at all in the room. The man at the front desk was very kind and friendly though.
In the process of revamping the hotel!
Great job on the queen room I had for 15 days!

Good and Bad
This is a unique hotel. It seems they’re renovating, which is much needed. The entry is challenging with luggage, since only 1 door opens. The carpet on the stairs is in very bad shape ( not at all safe) but the room was spacious and clean. The lady at the desk spoke some English, which was helpful.
The hotel was right in the middle of Downtown, 3 blocks from Malecon. They are remodeling the rooms during the day which was no problem since we were usually out. This is more of a European style hotel and not American. Staff were great.
