Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms, while spacious and with comfortable beds and good shower facilities, had a slight issue with the smell of strong cleaning products and old furniture. Despite being small and not very modern, they were equipped with essential amenities like a comfortable bed, good lighting, clean bathroom, TV, hot water kettle with tea/coffee sachets, and efficient AC, making my stay enjoyable.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very clean and spacious after being moved to a better room with a fridge, but lacked adequate lighting and were noisy due to the main road location. The service was overall good, except for one unfriendly front desk staff member. The location was convenient, with proximity to Sabana Park and some good restaurants, although not very central. The dining experience offered great local dishes but not much variety. The hotel had basic facilities and the value for money was decent.
The hotel offers a nice stay with wonderful room views of the outdoor pool and garden. Despite some minor issues, it was quiet, creating a peaceful atmosphere. However, there were outdated windows in the bathroom and over the entry, though the swimming pool area was enjoyable.
I felt like the rooms were a bit outdated, but after requesting a change, I got a better room with a great bathroom and a comfortable bed. The hotel doesn't provide bottled water due to drinkable local water. The location was convenient, close to restaurants and Sabana park, offering a taste of local life. However, the service was a mix with some unfriendly encounters and delays, and the breakfast organization left much to be desired.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the bright side, the hotel's service and location were great, but some aspects of the rooms and the visible exterior did not meet my expectations.
Although the hotel had some outdated rooms with noise from city traffic, the friendly service and convenient location made my stay enjoyable. The dining experience was rich in local specialties. Overall, a decent choice for the price.
The hotel is situated in a pleasant location with pretty surroundings and a central pool for lounging and drinks. The rooms were quite clean but noisy due to issues with the ones above mine. The service was very helpful and friendly, although I felt a little uneasy at times about safety. The dining offered a nice selection with superb, fresh options daily. Overall, a decent stay with minor inconveniences.
Staying at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were dark with few lights due to the hotel's proximity to a busy road, but they were spacious with 2 double beds, making it ideal for a family.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms but faces a noisy street. The service can be unfriendly, although there are some staff members who go above and beyond. The location is not ideal but serves as a pleasant break from the hustle. The dining experience is rich in local specialties, and the facilities are decent.
