Look for somewhere else and save your money

If you want a decent place to stay, avoid this place. Everything about it is in a horrible/inhabitable condition and the maintenance of the place is just insanely poor. Molds and moisture everywhere.

This is a budget hotel in a centric area of the city. Area is safe, hotel is budget friendly, rooms are comfortably enough for the price. Staff was very polite and professional, specially Betty the hotel manager. Breakfast was offered for a very low price (2-3 dollars). I hate Mangu with sauté onions and fried eggs for about $2.50 dollars. I recommend this hotel, specially for budget travelers. Be realistic and do not expect 5 start hotel quality, pictures do justice.

A very bad / sub-standard hotel

My wife stayed at this hotel for one night, the room was below average, clean enough to say the least, there was no soap in the bathroom, used toilet paper, the attendant does not know anything about anything, she offered to bring a bottle of water for the room, never came back, the hotel advertise a free breakfast, it was a lie, there is no breakfast, the customer service is non existing, I would never recommend or stay in this hotel ever again.
