The reception staffs were friendly. Alejandro gave excellent information. He helped us with the Metro. The underground parking was a bonus.

I could hear noise from other rooms. The soundproofing at the hotel was not good. It did not allow us to rest during the night.

Acceptable Stay, Some Issues

convenient locationcracked wallscramped space

The hotel's location is fairly convenient, close to a metro station.

The room I got was disappointing. It felt dated. There were noticeable cracks in the walls, and the space felt cramped. The window view wasn't great either. It overlooked some unappealing apartments.
