Arriving tired from a business trip the first thing that comes to your mind is a good bath and a comfortable bed... right ? WRONG That´s all you won't find in this hotel, as well as smelling of mold in the room. Wi-fi also doesn´t work, only at reception. More

Stayed there for one night and I was glad it was just the night - Its a budget hotel and I understand that and I'm not too fussy but I wasn't happy with the place. Air Con was like a plane taking off and was right beside the bed plus it looked like it was 50 years old and unsafe.... More

This is a very basic hotel with absolute no frills. The location, however, is excellent for exploring the city center rooms are clean, and the included breakfast buffet is excellent. Pasquito's the cafe on the corner is a great place for an inexpensive snack or quick meal. Free wi-fi is available in the lobby and the restaurant, and I was... More

We stayed here as it was the cheapest option we could find around carnival time. Have stayed in better hostels - bathroom had plain concrete floor, horrible but working shower and toilet. Room v small and beds v basic, but as we weren't planning to spend much time there (just out at carnival etc) it wasn't too bad. However, buffet... More
