This is a budget hotel in a centric area of the city. Area is safe, hotel is budget friendly, rooms are comfortably enough for the price. Staff was very polite and professional, specially Betty the hotel manager. Breakfast was offered for a very low price (2-3 dollars). I hate Mangu with sauté onions and fried eggs for about $2.50 dollars. I recommend this hotel, specially for budget travelers. Be realistic and do not expect 5 start hotel quality, pictures do justice.

Look for somewhere else and save your money

If you want a decent place to stay, avoid this place. Everything about it is in a horrible/inhabitable condition and the maintenance of the place is just insanely poor. Molds and moisture everywhere.
