A clean, safe, convenient gem.
A nice, quiet, clean, and comfortable place to stay near the 5 de Mayo metro station & Casco Viejo. Sr. Ever (?) was very helpful as was the young man who checked me in. Would definitely stay here again.

Easy check in, friendly service, awesome laundry rates and in a decent area. Make sure they give you a key to get in at the gate!! They're doing construction so no rooftop area at the moment. Walkable to fish market and Casco Veijo (never felt unsafe). Grocery store nearby. No hot water was the downside, otherwise, for the amount we paid, we were satisfied.

Not the Ritz but what would you expect for $30 a night in Casco Viejo. Staff was wonderful. Bar on the property was a plus. What really shines is the location.

Accesible, para estancia breve
Me hospedé nada más un día porque mi vuelo salía tarde, en general, está bien si te quieres quedar cerca del casco histórico y del transporte público, pero debes ser consciente de donde está ubicado puesto que es un sector de comercio, el lugar estaba limpio, disponía de lo necesario y el personal estaba atento, lo único que no me gustó fue que había una fuga no se si en la ducha o qué, pero el goteo si me puso tensa un momento, de ahí la ventana del baño daba a la escalera así que si no cerrabas la puerta, bien te podían ver por ahí, lo otro que no me gustó fue que el armazón de la cama es de hierro y estaba cubierto por la sabana, me pasé golpeando varias veces porque estaba cerca de la puerta del baño, pero por lo demás todo es de acuerdo a como se ve.
