コストパフォーマンスの良いホテル

イグアナ公園、マレコン等からはやや離れているが、メトロの駅がすぐ傍にあるので不便ではない。むしろイグアナ公園近辺のホテルより安くて設備はほぼ変わらないため、コストパフォーマンスが良い。フロント前にある冷蔵庫に買った水を置いておけたり、臨機応変にレイトチェックアウトさせてくれたり、対応も良かった。

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.

It is very close to Malecone, which is a big park

Those people who work in the hotel were really nice, There is grocery store close to hotel, and small cafeterias, all of it is in a walking distance. Also there is huge market where you can buy everything, and it is with in a block.

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.

Tolles Hostel mit sehr freundlichem Personal

Nettes kleines Hostel mit sehr aufmerksamen und freundlichem Personal. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis für ein DZ mit eigenem Bad war top. Das Hostel sowie auch das Zimmer waren insgesamt sehr sauber. Allerdings haben wir ein paar Haare in den Handtüchern gehabt. Sehr nett war, dass uns direkt bei Ankunft ein kostenloser Kaffee angeboten und aufs Zimmer gebracht wurde. Auch als wir am nächsten Tag ausgecheckt waren durften wir noch unser Gepäck dort lagern, was sehr praktisch war. Das Hotel selber befindet sich Downtown und die Gegend wirkte nicht gefährlich. Eine Bushaltestelle ist direkt vor der Haustür, so dass man schnell überall hinkonnte.
