Hotel needs urgently renovation. Old floors chipping, gappings between planks. Seems that had water damage before. Room 602 Mattress too hard. Customer service was very good. Breakfast basic but good. Parking space small but free. Overall I give a 3 star because free parking, 3 blocks away from Marques Metro station (three stops away to downtown) and very helpful people. Property needs renovation.

In general I'm happy with my stay at Palanca Hotel. It is dated, simple but pratical. Spacious bedroom, reasonable storage space, a table and chair. The toilet has a bath with shower (No hair dryer). I could here the elevator up and down, people shutting their door. But at night it gets quiet enough to rest and have a good sleep.The breakfast was great with a selection of bread rolls, butter and jam, ham and cheese slices, yogurt , coffee, milk, cocoa powder, cereals, juice and teas selection too. The check in and check out was quick and easy. The owners and staff were friendly. So I certainly recommend it to everyone for the price it's certainly worthwhile.

The room was adequate, according to the relatively good low price. Even though it was an old place, it felt good. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable. The area around was fine, it was easy to get to the city centre, and we liked the park nearby, too. It felt more local. The first room we were given had an issue with electricity, after reporting it we were moved to a different room and all was fine there. What we didn’t like was the "continental breakfast", it was poor and the second day we didn’t even use it - preferred to eat somewhere else.
