Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The hotel may look very aged, but the room is adequately sized with a spacious bathroom. It is not centrally located, and the price reflects that. Overall, it's a good value.

Disliked: Staff & service
El recepcionista es muy grosero. Se le pidió de forma amable si podía ayudar a instalar el chromcast al televisor de la habitación y respondió muy grosero y homofóbico...
Horrible!Es imposible que te dejen sin agua caliente y que al llamar para saber cuánto tiempo tomará que regrese, simplemente te digan: "va a tardar" sin darte una explicación o tiempo de resolución.
NUNCA SE HOSPEDEN AQUÍ, ES VIEJO, HUELE HORRIBLE, TIENE ANIMALES EN LA ALFOMBRA Y COLCHÓN, NI POR NECESIDAD LO TOMEN COMO OPCIÓN
