Not certain what I can add, to the multitude of reviews already submitted.
The great:
- Excellent central location, walking distance to museums, restaurants, shops, etc.
- The staff I dealt with were polite, helpful and friendly.
The good:
- The free breakfast had a good selection of food, and operated from 6:00-10:00 AM. The early start was helpful for guests going on early tours, or departing for the airport early, who could have breakfast before leaving.
- The bathroom in my room had instant hot water, unlike many LATAM hotels and hostels which have lukewarm water at best, after running the water for 5 minutes.
The Average:
- the wifi was spotty. In my room, my iPhone had virtually no connectivity. My tablet was better. I sometimes had to go to the lobby to get strong enough wifi for some online activities.
- Yes, the hotel is old. All the bathroom fixtures, light switches, etc., are old school, but in good repair. Just donât expect a lot of modern conveniences. For example, my bathroom was very tiny, to the point where my knees would touch the opposite wall while I was sitting on the toilet
The Poor:
- My room was adjacent another establishment, so noise from next door was common, via the window, though generally tapered off around 11:00 PM. Also, the interior hard surfaces of the hotel (tile, hardwood doors, metal keyed locks) were conducive to noise transmission. I tried to be mindful of this when coming and going at quiet times, but many guests were not.
