Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The location is superb, right in the center of town near the bridge and Malecon, perfect for exploring. However, the rooms had issues with privacy due to the window facing the housekeeping area. The service was lacking, especially with Wi-Fi almost not working, making it inconvenient for a business traveler like me.

The service on Monday was subpar, especially with the Wi-Fi issues and lack of responsiveness from the staff. It made my stay a bit frustrating for staying connected.

The location, however, was a saving grace. Being right by the bridge linking the old town and centro zone and just off the malecon, it made exploring the area a breeze. The proximity to various day-trip pickup points was convenient.

The dining experience necessitated going to an outside restaurant due to uncomfortable courtyard furniture. The hotel's location and proximity to attractions were its highlights, but the dining setup was a drawback.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the location was great with easy access to shops, restaurants, and the beach, the noise from the busy street made it hard to relax. The room faced issues with water supply, noise disturbances, and the facilities like the pool and rooftop terrace closed earlier than desired. The value for money seemed more in line with a mid-range accommodation rather than a high-end stay.

I had a delightful stay at this hotel! The rooms were small but cozy, air-conditioned, and had a lovely view of the river and a bit of the ocean. Plus, being away from the noisy traffic was a big bonus. The service was exceptional, with friendly and receptive staff, even though there were some language barriers. The location was ideal, close to good restaurants and the malecon, allowing for a pleasant exploration of the area. However, the dining experience was not the best, as I had to go outside for meals. Overall, a great value for the money with some minor room for improvement.

I really loved the hotel's location - just two blocks from the water and close to lots of small stores and the flea market. The staff was friendly and approachable, always ready to help with any questions. The dining options were a bit limited, and the courtyard furniture wasn't the most comfortable, but overall, it was a pleasant stay.

The hotel's location is wonderful, and the cleaning staff is excellent. The rooms were everything you need when on vacation, although for single rooms being two floors apart might make it quieter than room 209. However, it would be nice if the hotel weren't directly on Hwy 200. I strongly recommend it for all types of entertainment and shopping in old town, with easy access to the malecon, markets, and beach.
