You get what you pay for here: a bed, a fridge, and a decent shower. It’s definitely 'budget,' but you can’t beat the logistics. Being right off Quinta Avenida and so close to the Ferry/Parque Los Fundadores saved us a ton on transport. Plus, being walking distance to Walmart makes it easy to keep the mini-fridge stocked. A great crash pad for travelers who prioritize location over fancy amenities. You will also have access to the beach club close by (across the way).

Great location
The hotel is old and neglected but the location and view are amazing, the rooftop is permanently closed and the street noise is all night long, but for the price, you get what you paid for.
Just so yourself a huge favour and look for something else other than this place.

Don’t plan on having a car here, you’re inside the Calle Norte walking zone. Beach is right outside
Good location that was about it. I had booked 4 nights but was only able to stay one which I got 0 sleep. Place is dirty, no hot water in the shower, and felt very unsafe. Checked out early next morning and booked a better place.
Extremely filthy. The towels had lipstick on them and some unidentifiable brown spots, the sink was stinking of cigaretes, the bed sheets had stains on them. The music from across the street blared laudly every day until midnight. On top of that, the reception wanted me to pay some environmental fee!
Another couple who were checking in had also some discrepency, the hotel wanted them to pay for the second person in the room despite them booking a room for two. I dont know how this ended up. Never again Hotel Kay!

Need maintenance , but for 1 or 2 days is reasonable.
Property was not in good condition. Blankets and sheets had a strong unpleasant odor. Overall it was a terrible experience. This rundown property only deserves a one star.

All the pictures on tthe website were about 40 years old.
The entire hotel looked like a landlord special.
Mold everywhere,
the belchony railing is rusted and falling off.
There are cracked loose tiles all over the stairwell.
The pool was closed so they offered the pool across at the Riviera(which was filled with scum, hair, garbage)
The only good thing was the cleaning staff.
I bever complain about things but this i
