The location was quite CENTRAL in the city. The breakfast was basic but good enough, a solid way to start the day. Staff, especially Luis at reception, showed attentive care and overall helpfulness, I appreciated that.
The room i stayed in did not resemble the pictures online. There was one smaller window overlooking residential apartments. The air conditioning did not work. It seemed to be switched to heating, and the room became too hot to sleep in.

My room was spacious. It was super clean. The location is honestly THE BEST (it's near many attractions).
The staff was unreceptive when I tried to discuss a charge. I was charged for breakfast when I never booked breakfast with my stay. The water overflowed every time I used the tub and shower. The walls are VERY thin. I could hear a conversation from the other room.

The location was clean and tidy.
I arrived at 10 AM only to find out check-in was scheduled for 2 PM with a promise of a very good room. I returned at 2:45 PM however the good room wasn't ready. I was exhausted after being awake for 30 hours so I took another room and the receptionist admitted it had a poor view. The view from the room was awful and the room was not very light. The bathroom had terrible condensation and I had to wipe it from the hairdryer before using it.
