the hotel was super clean! a real credit to the cleaning staff. the reception staff were always available, a great plus. i borrowed a hairdryer with no hassle, a welcomed convenience, and the location was surprisingly convenient for reaching major attractions on foot.

the room felt a bit small, but that's about it. the rest was ok.

the hotel is close to transport facilities, a benefit for travelers. reaching the city center took about 10-15 minutes, so it was a convenient distance. casco viejo, a historic district, was only 20-25 minutes away by foot.
