My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and comfy, but some had issues like a broken safe and a moldy shower. The balcony view was nice, but the lack of cellular signal in rooms was inconvenient. However, the rooms were spotless and cozy overall.

The service at the hotel was truly helpful and accommodating. The staff organized my onward trip and was ready to assist with various needs, like preparing vegetarian/vegan lunches. However, some service aspects were missing, like car hire or airport shuttle.

Location

6.0

The hotel's location was a bit of a mixed bag. While it was central and close to major bus terminals, the area felt a bit unsafe and noisy. On the bright side, the proximity to key landmarks like the National Theater and the gold museum was convenient.

Dining

5.0

The dining options were below average compared to other places. The breakfast included was not the greatest, but there were hot and cold sandwiches available. Considering the overall quality, the dining experience left much to be desired.

Facilities

The facilities were basic with some notable issues like a missing glass on a window and a thin, cheap door. However, the hotel did offer standard amenities to meet basic needs.

Upon arriving, the hotel was right in the center of downtown, making it a strategic location if you want to walk around and see the main attractions. The rooms, unfortunately, weren't as clean as I had hoped, and the noise from the busy street outside was a bit bothersome. On the bright side, the staff was very nice and helpful.
