Fine Old World hotel

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.

Happy we stayed

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.

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.

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.
