8/10 Good

It gets the job done.
Armando, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

The property was hard to find at first because the entrance is down an alley. At night they have a chain and lock for the main door. I can understand the need for safety but if there is a fire, this is the only exit for the property. The room was very comfortable. Upon arrival there was a plate of fresh fruit waiting for us. Very nice! There were 2 double beds which helped. The bathroom sink was unique in the fact it was a pedestal with a very small bowl. The shower was wonderful. The showerhead was very high so that any tall person would fit under it. The one thing we missed was having a small frig for our beverages. All in all we enjoyed our stay there.

8/10 Good

Staff was great and very helpful. They were kind enough to upgrade our room to a slightly bigger room at no cost, however rooms need some updating.

This was a great place to stay. The only thing is it was difficult to find.it needs more signage in the street or a better description of how to find it on the websites.

Welcoming helpful staff. Communication online and pre registration requirements were confusing and unecessarily complicated. But beutiful well located hotel.

10/10 Excellent

It was a nice stay. Something to be aware is that they do not have air conditioning. Aside that, it was great!
Julia, 4-night trip

4/10 Poor

Ran out of water few minutes into a shower. Given **one** TINY bar of soap for a 3 night stay. Lamp on bedside table had to be banged on the table repeatedly to work.

10/10 Excellent

Really hard to find, address not we’ll display outside.
Emiliano, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

First we didn’t get the room we paid for, then we couldn’t sleep because an alarm was going on all night and nobody was on the property to figure out, next day they changed the room for the correct one but with the surprise that we didn’t have hot water and had to shower at 6:00 am with cold water because again nobody was there and nobody responded my messages! Cute place but they don’t have the most basic for guests like good communication care and hot water! No recomendable.
Erika, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Weekend to forget

We reserve this Hotel and when we arrive it was horrible, we not get our room because the not accepted an official identification and the not give us the money back. I can not recommend this Hotel at all. We went to another Hotel did our check in with the same document without any problem. If someone what to relax don't book this one!
Klaus, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Inexpensive and easy, but!

First, the entrance to the hotel is down a small alley, took a bit to find. It's lit with small path lighting at night. The room was ok at first glance, but looking closer it had water damage in the bathroom and what appeared to be mold over the shower. The bed was comfy, but they need to offer an extra blanket in the colder season or a plug-in heater. It was very cold in the room. Overall it was inexpensive and it worked for one night.
Shane, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Very Private... the room could use some upgrades... the darn remote for the tv didn't work. Not enough toilet paper in room. Also the bulding next door was too loud in the mornings...
Jose, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

This is a house turned into a hotel. It's in a dark alley. The reservation was under my name, but they didn't let me check in until the person who made the reservation (who was in the US) sent them a picture of their passport. They sent whatsapp messages saying that the doors to the hotel close at 11pm and whay time WE we returning. There was not WE, I was the only one there. After I returned, another whatsapp message asking if WE just got there 30 minutes ago. I said no, I was there over an 1 hr ago. They insisnted if WE needed anthing else, like blankets. I said no, I do not need anything else. There was not hot water, you have to let it run for a while. The room was ok.

Bien para descansar, totalmente encharcado el pasillo de enterada no había manera de pasar sin mojarse los pies.
Jessica, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

NO lo recomiendo, sin ventilación, sofocante, demasiado ruido, se escuchan las voces del primer piso y que decir los “ruidos” de la habitación contigua. Lo elegí por la calificación, después de un día de mucho caminar uno busca descansar. La limpieza impecable pero por el precio hay otras opciones mejores.
