Near everything but not in the middle of everything. Quiet street, and beautiful surroundings!
Staff was very attentive. For the price, the place was great, the pool was awesome and the food was good (small servings, but that's common in the area).

Todo perfecto
El hotel nos pareció súper cómodo, limpio y la piscina es espectacular. La atención de todo el personal fue en todo momento excelente.
El hotel es un poco viejo, pero está en súper condiciones de mantenimiento y limpieza.
El desayuno variado y muy rico. Una sola cosa para mejorar la cantidad y variedad de frutas. Pero fuera de ese pequeño detalle el restaurante es muy bueno, lo recomiendo.
