Great location for tourists (within walking distance of commercial area, Plaza Independencia, Ciuda vieja, Casino and Buquebus port). Safe, urban area. Small, neat rooms (except that smoking is permitted inside). An extra blanket would not hurt. Good guest service: we arrived at 8 am and although check-in time was at 2 pm, they gave us the room in advance at... More

The staff are not co-operative. Room service only arrives 4 to 12 hours later after several calls, sometimes it doesn't even arrive. Wi-fi is complimentary but after requesting you only get the user id and password 12 hours later. Breakfast is never complimentary at any hotel, because room only rate and bed and breakfast rate are 2 different rates. We... More

Only 5 mins walk. Strip of restaurant just past the Plaza Cons: - Small room - Showers are small - No hot breakfast except for... More

Intimidating concrete slab construction greets the weary traveller, and my room had the feeling I had committed a crime. Ugh, rooms were small, not very clean. However, the location was good so I think the hotel clings to that as their draw. I would recommend considering other options.

We stayed three nights at the hotel. It is only 5 minutes walk from Plaza Independencia, restaurants and bars. The hotel staff were friendly, the room was clean and the breakfast was great. We did get a discount through a booking agency so we thought the price was a bargain for the city centre location.

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

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
