"For the price, this hotel was great. The only thing that threw me off was I had to share a bathroom. I looked back at my booking and didn’t see anywhere that I would not have a private bathroom, so that was a major disappointment. Otherwise I appreciated the proximity to the metro and other downtown areas."

The reception staff are interested and attentive, our room (No.8) was well provisioned and superclean, we were in walking distance of interesting local shops and restaurants, and a short Uber to the CBD.
