The beds were so stiff. It was hard to sleep. It felt like sleeping on cardboard.
Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel is older but location is excellent. Bar fridge but no coffee maker. Great hot shower. Very quiet. Will definitely stay again.
No breakfast to my knowledge. Very much home base great solomtravel experience close to everything and if youre a walker you will have a great vantage point

The room ia good enough for solo traveler for a short vacation. Eduardo is very accommodating during the checked-in. I just hope that the hotel management would be more considerate to accommodate for an early check-in especially for traveler that arrived early from a long trip. All in all the hotel is nice and good value for money.

The hotel was ok for the price and location. However it is very outdated. Rooms are small bathroom very old and not very clean. The bed is difficult to sleep. Vey hard mattress is like sleeping on the floor. The window couldn’t be open or closed all the way up. Good thing we were on the higher level. The staff was great and accommodating.
