I would book this hotel again. It was well priced and in a very convenient area for travel. But there are two things that stick out: 1. The hotel room door didn't fully latch shut when I left for an hour. When I came back the door was visibly open. Luckily my room was further away and I was only out briefly. So the chance for someone to go into my room was limited. But it's still concerning. Nothing was missing. You need to make sure the door is fully shut, with a lot of force. 2. The WiFi policy is kind of odd. Only one device per room could connect at a given time. So if you have multiple devices (e.g traveling with a phone, tablet, and a laptop) or multiple people, not everyone can use the WiFi at the same time. Unless you pay extra. You have to log in and log out.

Buenas habitaciones , buena ubicación cerca a la estación del metro , EXCELENTE destina y muy buena atención . Lo único por mejorar es que no tienen aire acondicionado y aunque nos dan unos pequeños ventiladores , el valor en la habitación tanto de día como de noche es muy incómodo. Por supuesto estuvimos viviendo una ola de calor extrema pero aún así la falta de aire acondicionado es un factor a mejorar .
