I WILL DEFINITIVELY RECOMMEND IT AND I WILL COME BACK HAPPILY!
Pros:

Location: excellent, subways two blocks away. Calm at night to sleep well, and in a safe and fancy neighborhood.

Staff: the best, all receptionist and employees were of great help, always willing to answer questions and helping you with everything.

Room: cozy, comfortable, clean and modern. Perfect for a one person. They include shampoo, conditioner, soap, TP, towels, sheets, TV, and hangers. The only thing I would suggest is a minibar for storing water and stuff during the stay.

Cons:

I would suggest to include a minibar in the rooms.

Loved it, would stay again
Pros:

The location is amazing, the rooms are clean tidy and as advertised, the beds were comfortable which was great. Rooms were serviced daily and there was no issue getting extra towels. The roof top is nice to chill out on

Cons:

There’s a large volume of people staying and I think the toilets were cleaned twice a day, higher frequency or spot checks of toilets after peak use times would be good.
It would also be great to have access to hot/boiling water as well as cold water.

Pros:

L’emplacement de l’hôtel est top. Accueil toujours disponible et très efficace.

Cons:

La seule chose que j’ai trouvé dommage était la taille des chambres. J’avais réservé une chambre pour deux personnes et c’est vrai que l’on se retrouve vite à l’étroit, je ne m’attendais pas à quelque chose d’immense, mais les chambres ne sont quand même pas n’ont plus donné niveau prix. Même si le rapport qualité prix est correct, selon moi des chambres un peu plus large ne serai pas de refus.

Increíble como siempre!
Pros:

Es la segunda vez que voy porque es excelente en todo sentido. La ubicación es excelente, lejos del ruido y a una cuadra del metro. Te atienden muy bien y a pesar de tener baño compartido siempre pero siempre está impecable. Las habitaciones son hermosas y las camas súper cómodas. Que tengan TV con cable es un plus ya que uno llega muy cansado de caminar y es perfecto para relajarse al igual que pasar tiempo en la terraza muy bella. Recomiendo el jardín secreto de enfrente con cascada para ir a tomar algo rodeado de naturaleza

Cons:

Nada. Todo perfecto
