Reforzar limpieza hab diaria Excelente ubicación para la cual armamos el viaje. Staff muy amable y servicial. Nuestra estadía fue cómoda y esperamos no haber causado incomodidades a otros huéspedes. Solamente tener el cuidado de hacer limpieza diaria como dice en su descripción pues estuvimos 3 noches 3 personas y la canasta/ basura del baño jamás fue recogida, ni las toallas o cubrecamas cambiados. Encontramos el cuarto aparentemente limpio hicimos un checkin pasada la media noche y encontramos cabello de los huéspedes anteriores en la regadera. Esperamos lo tomen en consideración porque aparte de eso, todo bien. Gracias. ##### María José Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Vaso, メキシコシティ 15 Jan 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities バックパッカーが多く集まり、雰囲気はすごく良かったです。 ただ満員の部屋に泊ったので、荷物を置くスペースがほとんどなく部屋が荷物であふれており窮屈でした。。。。 ##### Vaso Stayed 1 night in Jan 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### G, Tokyo 7 Jan 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 部屋やリネンなど清潔感がとてもありました。また、スーパーからも近く、立地も良かったです。 ホステス自体は落ち着いた雰囲気で、リラックスしてる人も多く、居心地もとても良く感じました。 ##### G Stayed 1 night in Jan 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### ramon 7 Dec 2017 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### lugar escondido esta en pleno centro de la parte de la ciudad donde siempre estan construyendo algo mucho ruido en las habitaciones todo el poder del trafico se oye desde temprano,,,,,el personal amable ##### ramon Stayed 1 night in Nov 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hugo 10 Aug 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Estadia em local estratégico Estabelecimento Em um local com muito comércio e bom para compras... as instalações são muito agradáveis e a equipe foi muito solícita e ajudou demais, sobretudo Jesus, que nos deu várias orientações.
