Near everything but not in the middle of everything. Quiet street, and beautiful surroundings! Staff was very attentive. For the price, the place was great, the pool was awesome and the food was good (small servings, but that's common in the area).

Todo perfecto

El hotel nos pareció súper cómodo, limpio y la piscina es espectacular. La atención de todo el personal fue en todo momento excelente. El hotel es un poco viejo, pero está en súper condiciones de mantenimiento y limpieza. El desayuno variado y muy rico. Una sola cosa para mejorar la cantidad y variedad de frutas. Pero fuera de ese pequeño detalle el restaurante es muy bueno, lo recomiendo.

Quiet Hotel/Good Value

Location is excellent if you enjoy peace & quiet. Very close to everything you’ll want: restaurants, bars, banks, groceries, the beach. Check in was a breeze. Room overlooked the pool and was clean, had hot water, good ac and a mini fridge. Pool area is lovely except for the hard-as-rocks S-shaped lounge chairs. Opt for a table instead. Check out also a breeze. Professional & friendly staff too!! Walkable area at night with easy access to taxi’s to/from Old town & Getsemani. Note with the hot/cold water: you only get one at a time which made showers a bit dangerous because the hot is boiling.
