Staff attentive and helpful.

I am a diabetic and need to maintain my insulin below 80 degrees. I use freezer packs for travel and they require refreezing every few hours. No fridge in my original room. Staff at first put the freezer packs in a room with a fridge and delivered packs to me. On second day they upgraded my room to a lower floor with a double room with fridge. Fewer stairs for me to climb and easy to take.care of insulin. No extra charge. I felt genuine concern from staff and a willingness to help.

Nice hotel, not so great area

Hotel is fine for a night or two, however don't leave any food open in the room as there are small bugs everywhere which will swarm over the food. The area feels a little unsafe, but the Malecon is not far away to get to.

Very basic hotel with no clean water or soap

Stayed in fourth floor which had no elevators. Room was very basic in a shady location so do not recommend for solo or women travelers. No clean water or soap available so pack your own. Very difficult to find the hotel as located along street and blends in with other doors/shops.

Friendly

The staff was very friendly and always looking how to make the stayed comfortable. The hotel was close to the malecon. And the area is safe and close to the metro, bus, and taxis always around. The only thing that bother me was the mirror in the bathroom was to small. It was place for small people's.

clean and comfortable low budget place to stay

We had a good stay here. It is just a few blocks from the start of the Melacone. Good local food at a good price so good for low budget travelers. It is not fancy but is safe, clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful and really nice! Thanks.
