Great place to stop for a couple days. Room is on the smaller side, there are three of us. But it spotless. The common room upstairs is fantastic, a space you can chill, do a bit of work or even cook your meal.

the hotel itself was really cute. we loved the room itself, but the exterior bathroom had cockroaches. overall, the room (for the external bathroom) was really clean and nice, but the bathroom, with the bugs at night, was not the best. loved the location as well.

Not the best place I would recommend to stay. Shower did not work and no hot water - they did fix that but when you pay a high price for your stay your expectations were dashed. Room was lacking and no tea or coffee unless you go up to hostel area and get it from there. The Staff were very good and helpful. We would not stay there again!

The room was clean and comfortable until we found a cockroach on the nightstand. The staff was friendly and helpful. The common area kitchen could use some sprucing up. The refrigerator was full of half used products and could use a good cleaning.

The hotel is in the heart of Casco Viejo with all the attractions walkable. Our room was on the 4th floor, no elevator, past the youth hostel floors. The room does not have a kitchen. It has a small refrigerator and coffee maker. There is a shared fully stocked kitchen on the 2nd floor with full size fridge and water dispenser. Bathroom towels were soft and big, shower hot, blow dryer, soap and shampoo. King size bed was firm, couch converts to bed but we didn’t need to use it. AC kept room cool and ceiling fan moved the cool air around.
