6/10 Good

Location is decent, a little noisy though cause of the street next to it. Rooms weren't very clean. Rooms size is decent, bed is okay. The view is great if you're facing Arenal

6/10 Good

Spartano, per chi si accontenta
Ho soggiornato due notti con mia moglie in una stanza con bagno privato. La stanza era dotata solo di un letto matrimoniale e di un comodino, senza armadi, tavoli o altre sedie. Seppur bene illuminata da grandi finestre, le tende erano così trasparenti da costringerci a stare con la luce elettrica spenta la sera, per evitare di essere visti da fuori. Il bagno, ampio e spazioso, era però dotato di una doccia da cui l'acqua non si scaricava bene e ristagnava sul fondo. Personale molto cordiale e disponibile. Rete wireless un po' instabile, ma tutto sommato accettabile
