Happy we stayed
From the outside we weren't sure we would like this hotel, but it was a very good experience. Our room on the top floor was clean and, although we had a problem with hot water for the shower, the staff promptly fixed it. It was a cool-funky room right across the Street for Sabana Park. Breakfast was very good and the price was also. We booked for 2 nights, but took a taxi to the airport at 10:00pm so didn't stay over for both, but because of the price we elected to pay for 2 nights and enjoy a hot shower and relaxation before the long fligt home. The staff were helpful and very nice.

Fine Old World hotel
The hotel is fine, our room was on a second floor walk up, there's a Japanese restaurant in the hotel. Our room overlooked the park, which was nice, but there was a fair bit of Street noise.

When we arrived at the hotel from the airport it was apparently closed. We could not get in and they would not answer the phone. Our taxi driver had to call around to different hotels to get up into one last minute.

staff was very nice and helpfull, though not very fluent in English. It would've been nice to have a longer string to control the lights and fan. now you have to stand on the bed to pull it. Also it would've been nice to have a trash can in lobby and outside (for smokers).

Location close to downtown and next to great park!
Had a very nice stay here, enjoyed the room and views to the huge park in front were excellent. The owner and staff were all very friendly and made me feel so welcome during my visit. Huge La Sabana park across the street is great for wandering around and people watching!

Really great place to stay
Probably the best hostel I have stayed in anywhere. The rooms are of a good size and very comfortable. The staff & owners are very helpful & friendly. The quality of the food in the restaurant is excellent, although the portions are huge and a bit difficult for one person to manage. Apart from that no complaints. Would stay here again.
