I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location was convenient for exploring the city, the rooms felt quite stark and weren't properly serviced during my stay. The service was friendly enough, but the breakfast options left much to be desired. Overall, the hotel has potential, but improvements are definitely needed.

The hotel has a great location, just a short walk from the charming Casco Viejo, which was a highlight for me. However, the rooms were quite small and uncomfortable, and I noticed some cleanliness issues. On the positive side, the service was very friendly and helpful, making my stay more enjoyable. While the dining options were decent, they felt a bit on the pricey side for what was offered.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The service was fantastic, with friendly staff who really made me feel welcome. The rooms, unfortunately, were not very comfortable, especially when I had to switch from a tiny box to a double room. The location felt a bit sketchy, which was disappointing, especially as it was advertised as being just 700 meters from the center. Overall, I found the value for money to be average, considering the pros and cons.

I had a less than ideal experience at this hotel. The location was not great, feeling a bit unsafe and rough around the edges. The rooms were very small, outdated, and lacked air conditioning, making my stay rather uncomfortable. On a brighter note, the staff was friendly and helpful, which did make my experience slightly better. Overall, I would say the price I paid did not match the quality I received.

The hotel has a clean and cozy atmosphere, with very friendly staff who made me feel welcomed during my stay. However, I found the location a bit concerning, especially at night, with some parts feeling a little dodgy. The dining options were decent but could use a bit more variety, and the room sizes were a tad on the small side. Overall, I would say it offers good value for the price.
