8/10 Very Good! (272 reviews)
The rooms are a bit small but align with the price. If you're looking for a comfortable bed and very cozy space on a budget, this is the place for you. The staff were warm and welcoming and breakfast was delicious. Close proximity to stores, parks and restaurants, but the area doesn't feel like the safest after late hours. The stay was satisfactory but would have been better if there was backup power. There was a power outage on the final day of our stay and we weren't able to pack early as we were in complete darkness in the room, and it got hot.

Lovely building but though high-ceilinged, rooms were stuffy. Marble work in bathroom but shower drained poorly and bathroom could be cleaner. Staff was pleasant and helpful, but not available before 7am. They have to let you out of the locked gate and buzz you in. One little bottled water per room (we were two). Location on busy street, very walkable area.

Nice place to stay if you are looking for an affordable, slightly upscale option near Barrio Escalante. Really nice staff and the complementary breakfast was much more than I expected. The only negative is that the body wash, shampoo, and conditioner is a bit substandard.
