Very clean. Maybe a little oversold but comes at a very reasonable price. Good choice for a low budget traveller.

Its pretty good. Overall quiet. One thing I didnt expect was to be asked for my room keys whenever I leave the hotel but I guess they have their reasons.

This hotel is on the Via España which is a big plus and still only five minutes walk from the main stretch of the Via España popular with visitors and locals starting at Iglesia Carmen. It is also only two blocks from the Riba Smith supermarket, the highest-end local supermarket. The hotel is clean but rooms of the same price vary in what they offer, one we had had a fridge but no chair, another a chair but no fridge. This hotel is very good value for the money but the rooms are tiny and you need to bring an extension cord to get to the outlet in the smaller rooms behind one bed. Internet is quick but drops out a lot. You can get hotels for less money but you also get less and the locations worsen quickly. Be careful to check your online booking to ensure that you get the room you were promised. Overall? Great value for money if location is important and very good value for money in the $35-40 range for a room. Note they do not provide shampoo or conditioner or facial tissues.

bien relacion calidad/ precio, un poquito ruidoso porque a la esquina de dos carreteras con mucho trafico. para desayunar hay una panaderia muy bien y muy barata en frente, con desayunos muy varias pero para cenar es el principal problema en los alrededores, no hay nada.

El servicio de recepción y la limpieza de la habitación así como del Hotel. Lo que no me gustó fue que tuvieran el restaurante cerrado.
