Good location to be at. grocery spot just down the street. Most things are within a 15 minute walk.
Room + bathroom is nice. Walls are very thin but I don't mind.
good place

Although the family style cabins are quite dated, for the price it’s clean, the staff is lovely and super helpful and there are good options for eating. Wish the cabins were outside and allowed fresh air as it was very hot and we could not get a breeze through the room to cool it down.
If you stay in rooms - you hear everything what happens in the hotel. Hard to sleep. Probably cabanas should be better. Everything else is fine. Continental breakfast is good you can order eggs additionally.

Very small rooms. Noisy. The breakfast was very limited.
Book Don Pepe for the convenience. Easy walk to downtown. This is a low cost, very simple place. The rooms are suitable, low cost rooms. Beds were surprisingly comfortable (although obviously old), showers had strong hot water (although small with a plastic shower curtain that sticks to you while you shower). Outside of the room is the place to be! They have many tables in a beautiful greenhouse like area with fabulous plants and flowers!! We hung out outside while waiting for others in our group to get ready. I would recommend for anyone looking for a simple inexpensive place to stay at is in walking distance to downtown.
This place looked fine in the photos but when we checked in it was so dingy and dated. Our room smelled like gas. The bathroom had a weird setup. Bed was not good. Just nothing was quite right. We ended up moving to another similarly priced hotel just down the street that was so much better. The people at reception were nice.
Hotel com boa localização, perto da rua principal e com excelente atendimento. Ótimo custo benefício, quarto bem dividido. A única coisa que senti falta foi mais proteínas no café da manhã.

Sehr nettes und hilfreiches Personal. Zimmer sauber. Frühstück leider (für mich) nur süß. Sonst alles sehr gut.
Fue una muy buena experiencia. El desayuno es muy bueno. El hotel tiene supermercado y restaurante a distancias cortas
La atención del personal es muy buena. Especialmente Johana , que hizo todo lo posible para hacer llegar en taxi hasta el aeropuerto, un bolso olvidado en la habitación
Muchísimas gracias Johana. Excelente atención y amor por el trabajo que hace
