Starting with the bad, this hotel lacks air conditioning, and one of the staff members is often lounging around, sometimes even on the phone during working hours. These two notes aside, the hotel is in an excellent location in a safe, walkable neighborhood, and sits directly on line 12 of the metro, making it incredibly convenient for travel. The hotel always seemed very clean (although I didn't black light check or anything). and the staff (aside from the one person) was always very professional, helpful, and even funny at times. Given the price, the room is of decent size, and the lack of air conditioning just encourages travelers to get out of the room and explore the city.
