Helpful, friendly staff. Clean. Cheap coin operated washer & dryer. Comfortable beds, nice rooftop. Great kitchen, although it would be nice if they provided dish soap and scouring pads. Close to Metro, within walking distance. Near restaurants and shopping. We've booked 2 more nights.

The hotel room was clean however the paint on the walls is dirty. The bedhead is discolored, bathroom mirror old and discolored. Air conditioner is very dirty. Bed is not comfortable. I ask front desk for ticker bedsheets buy there don't have. I booked for 6 days but leaves on the third day. The hotel is 5 minutes away from the free zone. Its the only thing i like.

La falta de seguridad. Nos sustrajeron de la habitación un par de zapatos nuevos desaparecidos como por arte de magia. Lo peor, una de las dueñas, para eludir la responsabilidad me dijo que había hablado con su abogado y que cuando firmamos los huéspedes el contrato, el hotel no asume ninguna responsabilidad por la seguridad en nuestra habitación.

Uma flôr no pântano.

Hotel muito bom, limpo, confortável e com excelente atendimento dos funcionários. Infelizmente, localizado em região não segura, com prédios velhos e abandonados. Excelente para quem quer fazer Cruzeiro, pois está a 1 km. do Porto Colón 2000. Pode-se chegar ao Porto pagando somente 3 dólares de taxi. Eu ficaria novamente e recomendo o Hotel Sotelo. Pelo preço cobrado, poderia ser incluído o café da manhã!
