We chose to stay here for the last few days of our three week South America trip based on other good reviews we had read. It sounded like good value and the location was excellent. But I can't say we enjoyed this hotel as much as other travelers. Firstly, the hotel is very dark, even the reception area but especially the rooms - I love the sun and light, airy rooms, so this didn't suit us at all.
Also, when we checked in, the first room we were given smelt strongly of cigarette smoke - we had asked for non-smoking. The hotel changed the room for us, but it was a bad first experience. The staff at the hotel did always try to be helpful, but a couple of times they gave us the wrong advice, including in relation to changing money, which wasn't good. The breakfast was delicious though. Overall, I never felt comfortable in this hotel and on that basis I wouldn't recommend it.
