Stolen Passport
Mysteriously my passport and several thousand pesos went "missing" from my room. All they did was tell me to check my suitcase again. No one will check security cameras or investigate it at all. I thought having a private room would be safer than hostels but apparently not. BE CAREFUL AND LOCK YOUR BAGS UP!!!! Also, the wifi is terrible. Also, no hot water.
Horrible place
Bad service. Viewed 2 rooms. No wifi and tv's weren't working. Awful old looking carpets. Bathrooms looked fine. When I viewed, I hadn't yet checked in. Went back and told reception. They absolutely didn't care. So I left, and never returned!
For one night/connection
It is an old, very simple hotel, that's why it is cheap. My bathroom window was broken, so when I went to take a shower, the bathroom was really cold because of that. The good side, it is cheap and close to the airport. There is little to see around, and the restaurant didn't attract me. I would recommend this hotel only if you really want to save some money.
better than average in the area
I've enjoyed staying here on a number of occasions. There are pros and cons. The staff is great, the breakfast is pretty good and there's a cool view from the top of the building. Depending on what part of the city you plan on hanging out, it's a pretty good location with a great corner-store next door to it. However, it's on a busy intersection so if you're not used to traffic in a major city, it might be a bit overbearing.
Noisy and ill-equipped
The hotel goes by another name- Hotel Suite. It is situated on a noisy intersection with windows that didn't close properly. I had no towels in the room and when I asked for them the bellboy said he couldn't bring me any as he had to stay at the front desk to relieve the receptionist who was busy with an event. Nor could he give me any. Came back late and the night porter was absent upstairs. Had to wait for ages but he did have a towel to give me. Precarious locks on doors. For a hotel that is not bottom range I found it lacking and not like others describe it.
