Casa Altos

Casa Altos

10/10 Excellent
"The only negative thing is the parking! It’s a parking that’s a block away from the hotel. During the day it’s easy access, but at night it’s closed and you have to ask the staff from the restaurant that’s on the first floor of the hotel to allow access to it! It’s dark and you have to wait for someone to come. It’s a bit of an inconvenience if you have a car. The other thing is the bells from the church that’s across the street from the hotel, they are loud, if you are a light sleeper it will wake you up. . Other than that it’s a very nice hotel with a lot to eat and see around the hotel. You have all you need steps away from the hotel. Nice rooms and beautiful views from the balcony."

"Room was clean, AC worked great, I loved the safety part. Because the gate closed after 11 pm, all stuff was friendly and helpful, clean towels everyday as well as the cleaning of the room. Only one small suggestion: keep an iron in every room. I appreciated the coffee and the bottle waters, made my life more enjoyable. If I have to get a hotel again in yhe area definitely yours will be my choice again, it didn't matter if I have to drive 16 k to see my mother and family in Jamay. Thank you!.
