This was the nastiest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Check-in took 55 minutes because our room “wasn’t ready” after someone spilled something all over it. When we finally got in, the floors were sticky, the place smelled, and staff seemed annoyed when we asked for cleaning. They sent a lady with a dry Swiffer who barely wiped the floor. We asked for a new room, but they claimed they were fully booked, so we cleaned it ourselves. We found roaches and bugs in the bed, and the entire place reeks of mold. The shower door was rusted and broken, so every time you shower, the bathroom and the main room outside flood with water. Moisture never dries, making the smell even worse. The bathroom had a broken soap holder, a constantly leaking faucet that dripped all night, and the corner of the shower looked kicked in. Hallways were dirty and noisy, making it hard to sleep. No one at the hotel spoke English, which made resolving issues nearly impossible. Even speaking Spanish, staff acted annoyed and unhelpful. The booking falsely advertised on-site laundry, but there was none; they told us to go somewhere else. The hotel smells, the area is bad, and nothing is maintained. We travel often and have never seen anything this filthy or poorly run. Pay more and stay somewhere else. This place is disgusting and should be avoided at all costs.
Roach in the bathroom, there was one in the bed too but didn’t catch a photo

Nice, modern and central neighborhood, close to the Cinta boulevard. Staff is very friendly. It could be cleaner but I guess that’s also part of the budget price. The condition of the walls isn’t great, we could hear the elevator beeping in the room, even with our “extra silent” earpods in our ears.

Made booking on 8th May, confirmed booking on the 3rd June. On arrival hotel was booked out. Reservation was still valid. Never saw beyond the reception area. We were not even afforded a complementary breakfast. We were then transferred to the Grand International hotel. Receptionist, very accommodating, rooms and house keeping better than average, b/fast ok. Quote a few restaurants around the hotel, metro is 8-10min walk away. Wifi good throughout the hotel. Never booking with Ojos del Rio ever again...

I loved that the hotel was conveniently located everything was within a 15-minute drive. The staff were friendly, and there was always someone available at the front desk 24/7. I ordered food during my stay, and it was delicious especially the passion fruit juice, which was amazing. They offer daily specials and even text you the menu, which was a nice touch. However, my room was a bit outdated. Some of the furniture was broken, and a gecko actually got in through the AC vent, which was a surprise. Also, the all-you-can-eat breakfast was just okay nothing special.

Do Not Book This Property The building reeked on arrival, the room was dirty and smelled like mold, and the neighborhood felt unsafe. We started feeling sick and had to leave the same night to find a hotel. Customer service was useless, and neither the property nor Expedia honored the cancellation policy. No refund, no help, no care. Unless you’re okay with risking your health and comfort—stay far away.
