Estamos muy agradecidos con Raúl y Pame, súper generosos y amables.
Pros:

Un espacio súper amplio, bien ubicado en Oranjestad, cerca de diferentes comercios y restaurantes; también de la costanera y de la terminal, lo que fue ideal porque utilizamos mucho el colectivo.
Celebramos que tuviera pava eléctrica para el mate :)
El agua de la ducha era genial, súper calentita y el servicio de limpieza excelente!

Cons:

¡Honestamente no tengo nada para decir!

Good situated and clean hotel with staff presence and location safety to be further improved.
Pros:

The staff was very nice and helpful, when they were around. Actually I rarely seen anyone, the reception was empty most of the time, but they always arrived in a couple of minutes after calling them on WhatSapp.
The room was clean.
The location is very close to the main shopping street of Oranjestad. Is is behind that street.
The AC worked well.

Cons:

The location/nearby sreets are not looking very friendly despite being at a strategically good point.
The reception area was closed and empty most of the time. With a code you could enter the building, however, everything felt very abandoned / in early days.
The nearby streets left a mixed impression in terms of safety.
Usage of very cheap materials in bathroom - you are afraid to touch anything because what if it breaks.

Maybe it's early days still, but at the moment, this is a bit expensive for what it is.

Pros:

Location to downtown

Cons:

My original room smelled horribly. I did get a different room thrbemzt day buy everything that was in original room still smelled.also I was overcharged. I asked avout this and they said it was a 4% card surcharge. This was still off from what it should have been. Also they came knocking and waking me up at 10:30 at night saying I need to pay. I couldn't see who was on other side of the door and it was someone trying to speak Spanish and a translator on a phone. Also after taking a shower thr curtain rod fell apart.

Met our needs for a quick one night stay for an early morning airline departure.
Pros:

Relatively inexpensive for a one night stay in Aruba. The staff was very helpful. The rooms were clean. Wi-Fi was operable as was the TV.

Cons:

Rooms were very small. All rooms appeared to be on the Second floor with no elevator. No refrigerator in the room. The bathroom light switch also turned on the bathroom fan which was very loud and because the room is small would disturb anyone else sleeping in the bedroom.

Excellent option in the middle of action!
Pros:

Budget boutique hotel.in the city center.
The property has been recently refurbished and staff couldn't be more helpful.
Even though if next to a parking lot, it's very quiet.

Cons:

Nothing comes to mind.

Pros:

Exceptional staff that made me feel welcomed and safe. The property owner, Edmond, was always available and even checked in on me when I was sick. Edmond, his team, and their hospitality were the highlight of my trip. Aruba was a very welcoming country and I always felt like they were happy to have us tourists visit.

The hotel also has a taxi service to pick you up from the airport.

The room was modern and had a/c and Netflix at no additional charge. It was also very clean and seemed brand new.

Location was downtown and just steps away from my favorite stores— Zara and Mango, and the popular Renaissance mall was just 2-3 minutes walking distance.

The local bus is very easy to use about a 7 min walk from the hotel. He bus will take you to the hotel strip (just ask the driver to make sure you’re on the right one).

Overall, I highly recommend staying at this hotel and as a solo female traveler I feel truly grateful and lucky to have found such a gem!
