The was a unique place. It is quaint. The beds are hard. There are little to no adventures and the WiFi is spotty. This is in a comfortable neighborhood.

This hotel has seen better days, still nice and clean, except the windows, shower is interesting good luck finding hot. Staff have good enough English. Restaurant is Korean/ Japanese fusion, that was ok, sushi looked better .
From the outside we weren't sure we would like this hotel, but it was a very good experience. Our room on the top floor was clean and, although we had a problem with hot water for the shower, the staff promptly fixed it. It was a cool-funky room right across the Street for Sabana Park. Breakfast was very good and the price was also. We booked for 2 nights, but took a taxi to the airport at 10:00pm so didn't stay over for both, but because of the price we elected to pay for 2 nights and enjoy a hot shower and relaxation before the long fligt home. The staff were helpful and very nice.
Very friendly reception. 5 stars for every category based on what the payment was. You can not get a better place for the price.

The room was a decent size, furniture, shower nose were a bit worn up but fully functioning. Location is great at the morning but pretty noisy at the evening ( I had a room with windows on the main road).The breakfast was great with a variety of options.
The hotel is fine, our room was on a second floor walk up, there's a Japanese restaurant in the hotel. Our room overlooked the park, which was nice, but there was a fair bit of Street noise.
Looks like the hotel is close and is not like the photos at all

When we arrived at the hotel from the airport it was apparently closed. We could not get in and they would not answer the phone. Our taxi driver had to call around to different hotels to get up into one last minute.

I cancelled the trip, but someone used my credit card info.. not knowing who (which hotel) I cannot rate either
El personal es súper amable y te apoya con cualquier duda. El estacionamiento en realidad es en el exterior, si bien es parte del edificio, queda en la calle. Puede llegar a ser algo ruidoso si tu habitación da a la avenida principal, pero nada que no te deje dormir.
La mejor relación calidad-precio!
Hôtel basique mais suffisant pour un passage dans la capitale.
Une étagère dans la salle de bain est indispensable pour poser ses affaires.
Le petit déjeuner est correct.
