I arrived at the hotel two hours before check-in and they offered to give me the room if I paid 20,000 pesos. The next day I wanted to change the room because there was a lot of noise and they wanted to charge me and they wanted to give me a room on the sixth floor without hot water when I know there were rooms on the same floor and with the same amenities that I had paid for. the restaurant was a total disaster due to the visit of large groups of children and adults. the adults drank and yelled until dawn. disastrous . there was even a fight between these groups with shouts and blows. .

Not recommended. Other hotels would be better.

Not recommended. Very basic hotel, does not feel clean. Very noisy street. Poor quality room, does not exceed 2 star rating. Shocking, Trimmers on high floors of building, almost felt like small quakes. No wifi in room, only in lobby, and very slow. Bathroom door barely opens halfway, as the tiny hand sink blocks the door. Dark lobby during the day, as no lights are turned on. That area in general is really dirty, Will never stay there again.

We had a small double bed with bunk beds even though we wanted a room for a couple!Bathroom didn’t have towels. Service was bad they did not want to help with anaything! The room was nothing like pictures!
