This is a nice low cost hotel, friendly staff, walking distance to a 24 hour store, bakery, supermarket and a good taco place. WiFi worked fine, coffee in room.

It is very conveniently located and within walking distance of Cinta Costera, Avenida Bulboa and public transport. Economical, affordable and very pleasant staff.
Yamini, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Its is the centre of the city, and easy access to public transportation, shopping, just a 6 minutes drive to multi plaza and albrook mall.
Patricia, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very clean. Maybe a little oversold but comes at a very reasonable price. Good choice for a low budget traveller.

Did not tell me any information or orientation especially accessing WiFi. I used my cellular data all throughout my stay.

Duncan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Its pretty good. Overall quiet. One thing I didnt expect was to be asked for my room keys whenever I leave the hotel but I guess they have their reasons.
Jose, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel is on the Via España which is a big plus and still only five minutes walk from the main stretch of the Via España popular with visitors and locals starting at Iglesia Carmen. It is also only two blocks from the Riba Smith supermarket, the highest-end local supermarket. The hotel is clean but rooms of the same price vary in what they offer, one we had had a fridge but no chair, another a chair but no fridge. This hotel is very good value for the money but the rooms are tiny and you need to bring an extension cord to get to the outlet in the smaller rooms behind one bed. Internet is quick but drops out a lot. You can get hotels for less money but you also get less and the locations worsen quickly. Be careful to check your online booking to ensure that you get the room you were promised. Overall? Great value for money if location is important and very good value for money in the $35-40 range for a room. Note they do not provide shampoo or conditioner or facial tissues.

bien por el precio
bien relacion calidad/ precio, un poquito ruidoso porque a la esquina de dos carreteras con mucho trafico. para desayunar hay una panaderia muy bien y muy barata en frente, con desayunos muy varias pero para cenar es el principal problema en los alrededores, no hay nada.

El servicio de recepción y la limpieza de la habitación así como del Hotel. Lo que no me gustó fue que tuvieran el restaurante cerrado.

Hotel without California feeling
I feel indifferent about this hotel -Wifi unstable or not working and the air condition device was extremly loud. Bathrooms are nice though.
