Poor 2.0
Worst Experience
Arrived to the hotel and had we had booked a room with a king size bed and received a room with two double beds on a loud noisy street. The hotel staff didn't try to get us our proper booking or try to make any extra accommodations for the mistake. We were told simply "Sorry too bad, this is all we have..." Wifi is limited and very slow.

Single traveler.
No frills hotelt in great downtown location. If you enjoy lots of shopping, lots of places to eat and lots of people of all ages and economic statis then this hotel is a good place to consider. Breakfast is basic but good. I enjoy staying at the El Maragato hotel.

Great Location on a Wallet-friendly Budget
The hotel is located in walking distance of many museums, the National Theater, shops, and restaurants. It is a well-worn property, so if you're looking for the lap of luxury, El Maragato is not it. However, it is excellent for the price, offers an ample (not really a continental) breakfast every day, and the staff is amazingly welcoming, helpful, and cooperative.
