Excellent hotel, dishonest cleaners

The hotel was well located, clean, and had excellent wifi. Great service as well. However, I had 3000 pesos cash stolen from my room during my stay, presumably by cleaning staff.

The place has an amazing location but the internet was horrible, we have to go outside of the room to catch signal and the aspect of the washroom was not the best.

Great value

Great value and location. I upgraded to a double room on the second floor at the back, previously a single by reception. My upgraded room was very quiet, even if the walls were a bit thin. Super friendly staff. I'd definitely stay again. No plastic bottles but a water refill which was excellent.

Aplicacion con informacion FALSA del hotel

El hotel agradable, cerca del zocalo de Puebla. En la aplicacion de hoteles.com mencionaba estacionamiento disponible en los servicios ofrecidos por el hotel y en el momento de registrarnos nos dicen que ellos no tienen ese servicio, se les mostro la informacion de la aplicacion y dijeron qur esa knformacion mo es de ellos y que no se hacian responsables. Tuve que pagar 250 pesos en un estacionamiento publico.

Faltan ventiladores en los cuartos. El calor estaba fuerte. Hay mucho ruido de un extractor de una propiedad contigua que empieza a las 9 am y termina a las 6 pm . Las escaleras son muy pesadas para subirlas . Entra el sol muy fuerte por la puerta y esta no tiene cortina .
