budget friendly helpful staff, convenient location
I like the location, halfway between the cathedral and Sabana park. There's always someone at the front desk. The gate is locked, so you ring a bell for someone to open it. Feels safe. I arrived at midnight, and was able to get into my room. I had some problem with an ATM machine, and one lady at the front desk helped me to call the bank. Fan works, but very noisy. Pretty good wifi. Now the negative: no place to hang anything. No cups. Street noise and the door bell are not good for light sleepers. Thin curtain. Overall, worth the price.

I reserved 2 months before and text them 3 days before to ask about the check in because my flight arrived at 12 am and they answered that there is not problem but when we arrived at midnight under the rain the said: no reservations and no room available, then we had to paid a taxi to another hotel.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Este hotel puede mejorar en cuanto a las condiciones de la propiedad, yo me hospede en la 307 y todas las paredes estaban sucias, el baño olía a cloaca, tenía un agujero la pared frente a la cama, en fin muchos detalles, pero el lado positivo es que su personal es muy amable y educado.

Great Place to Stay on a Budget
It is a great place for the price. We stayed there in a pinch when our travel plans didn't go as planned. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The rooms are a bit small, but that's fine if you're just looking for someplace clean to rest for the night on a budget. Also, the two restaurants on the first floor had very good food and great service.
