Since yesterday am trying to book 2 rooms in this hotel by phone. Your receptionist is very rude and unhelpful. Perhaps you don't need the business

I am traveling 20 times annually. this hotel was the worst experience in my whole life . awful and dangerous location. rude staff. late and poor breakfast . horrible room service. almost no washroom. extremely noisy. even one star also too much for this hotel
- Marcos D.Google review · 14 Oct 2024
Poor service; delicious breakfast Our experience here was not the best, starting with how hard it is to find the hotel itself but also how surprisingly hard it is to do the check-in, the reception was not found and we had to go to the bar to find someone to check us in. We arrived at 9 pm and the room wasn’t ready!!! We had to wait 30 mins when they gave us our room the floor was all wet from mapping. We got into our room only not to sleep since they had people talking in the alley, horrible. That wasn’t all, they had a problem with the water pump of whatever and only hot water was working, pardon me I mean boiling water. I couldn’t shower and I couldn’t barely sleep. The only good thing about it was the apology of the manager next morning while we had a delicious and natural breakfast (included) Be aware, we might have had bad luck
