But it's written 3-star hotel... According to the information at hotels.com, it's a 3-star hotel. However, that is NOT the case since it's a 1-star hotel; which we found out while arriving to the hotel. The bed was OK, otherwise, everything was pretty bad. ##### Alexander Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Junming 9 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room is very clean and nice, even though the hotel is in a very old building. ##### Junming Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Miles 25 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Excellent Location, Friendly staff.

Staff was helpful and the best sell of this hostel is the location. It's 2 mins walk from Royal palace. 19 mins walking from Pardo muesem and central park. Room balcony opens to main Street and it's buzzing till 12am. Front desk is available from 2pm to 10pm . We stayed here for 3 nights and didn't even once needed to take metro to anywhere. Everything is at walking distance. From airport you need to change 2 metros to get to Sol station and from Sol station it's 10 mins walk to this place. Booking this place saved us lot of time and money we could have spent if staying somewhere else. Worth every penny ##### Bipran Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Leopoldo 2 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great central place to stay.
