This is an older property but well maintained, with pleasantly-furnished spacious rooms. The staff were uniformly friendly and helpful. Good value for the money. Not really a complaint but a heads up that your travel iron will come in handy. I’d gladly stay here again.

The two Gonzalo’s at the front desk were so helpful! The shorter one with dark hair was the best! He spent a lot of time with us explaining the city, places to eat, and even showed us how to make and drink mate. He made our stay at the hotel extra special! The breakfast was average, could have more variety, but the staff there were lovely as well. The location of the hotel was great too, easy to walk and safe.

I have never experienced better hospitality than at this sweet hotel. I was so wonderfully looked after - the general manager was waiting for me with birthday treat at midnight! All the staff are lovely, helpful and attentive. Rooms are well maintained and clean, there is a nice pool and the AC works well.
