3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 March 2012

Rooms were basic, small & not overly clean. In addition, there was not much of a lock on the door. There was a pretty good variety for breakfast, but some of it tasted stale. So this isn't great value for money. However, the hotel is fairly good walking distance ie a few blocks from the Buquebus port as well as... More

Wi-Fi Internet connection was excellent in all floors. Decoration was very simple, but still modern and good looking. There were not many options in breakfast but croissant were delicious. Almost all hotel staff was friendly. And the location was terrific (2 blocks away of the main street and 4 blocks away of the center of the city). The cleaning service... More

We just stayed there for one night, very well located, a supermarket within walking distance, quite clean and a little basic but comfortable and nice, breakfast ... better options around -talking about brand chain hotels- but also higher rates. I was looking for the best accommodation before our trip and I am not disappointed at all. Also taxi from Buquebus... More

This hotel is new and very good located, near of Plaza Independencia and 18 de Julio Avenue. Its looks like a "Ibis" hotel because it has the same type of services and simplicity. If you you don't expect to have much luxury, and don´t want to spend a lot of money, I recommend this hotel. The room's bathrooms are small,... More

I have stayed 3 nights in this hotel on my South America trip and I was pleasantly surpised. For the price you pay you really get value for your money. Breakfast is simple but nice. Staff is friendly -locations is just perfect, a few steps away from the plaza de la independencia. Plenty of taxis available. Rooms are very comfortable... More

For those ones who are looking for walking in the ``ciudad vieja`` the location is incredible, you can walk to go there... The staff are professional and prestative... Rooms are clean and look`s like new... perhaps dont have minibars and the hotel just sell water... For the price = GOOD OPTION!

It started out as a nightmare: we came in early at night to find a very dirty and stained bed, dirty bathroom with dirty and stained towels. The guy at the reception acted rather helpless and told us after about 45 minutes, that he could not find another bed cover in the entire hotel. Alas, need I say more? I... More
