The hotel has a limited number of well maintained rooms. The wifi connection was strong and reliable, Everything clean and well maintained. Good breakfast and staff/owners available to help with advice (tours, sightseeing) at all times. Centrally located and close to all attractions in the center of the city (cathedral, Costanera, restaurants, bus station...). I highly recommend it."
