Es un hotel muy limpio, el personal es muy amable, la ubicación es excelente a unos pocos minutos caminando de la basílica y a un lado de la capilla del pocito del segundo milagro, la comida del restaurante es exelente al igual que la atención. Es el mejor hotel que he conocido por la zona, incluso mucho mejor que los que conozco en frente de la basílica
Es la primera vez que lo visitamos pero todo super bien Limpio Buena ubicación todo bien asta el momento ..
Very good location near to down town 5-7 min. Hotel cleaning on the common areas and room and Bathroom are very good . we enjoy this Hotel.
My stay in a highly recommended hotel, the rooms are very spacious, clean and it is not far from the cathedral, its excellent parking is covered, to enter the hotel I found the location to be very good, the staff very friendly and the price is worth it
Me súper encantó muy bonito el hotel y sus empleados muy atentos
Rooms are great. Just a few blocks from the plaza and church
Muy a gusto! El desayuno muy rico, quizá le falta un poco de variedad pero en general muy bien, el personal muy amable
Los colchones son un poco duros, pero la cama muy limpia, las bases de las camas son muy ruidosas, cualquier movimiento y rechina horrible. El baño super limpio pero en el wc salió una cucaracha. La TV no estaba bien configurada ya que no podíamos acceder a ningún servicio de streamming. Y para mala suerte nos tocaron unos vecinos de habitación muy escandalosos. Pero si recomendaría el hotel. El desayuno muy bueno y excelente precio.
