Cheap but not worth it!
Pros:

Good location and price

Cons:

So many good reviews, I thought I couldn’t go wrong here. Couples be aware:

- the bed is super small! In with and length for taller people
- it’s very noisy next to the car road!
- the shower has insane pressure, and after 2 minutes we were up to our ankles in the water

Cheap yes, would I ever go back? Definitely not!

Ótimo pela equipe mas com ressalvas as acomodações.
Pros:

Funcionários muito atenciosos e café primoroso.

Cons:

Box de banho apertado demais para banho. Falta de tapete para secar os pés na saída do chuveiro. Carpete pelo quarto que cheira coisa velha e mofada.

Pros:

Super nice staff.
Breakfast is good and generous.
Hot water, good wifi.
Location is also nice, in front of a park what open only on week-ends.
Comfy room & bed, curtains block a bit the sun in the morning.

Cons:

Our room, 201, wasn’t the best for the noise: we could hear a lot people at the reception & also the street & the trafic.

Worth the price you pay
Pros:

The staff were all very nice. The location was an easy enough walk to everything we wanted to do- but be warned that for a lot of excursions/ Peru Hop you will need to meet guides at the top of the road not outside the hotel as the road there is narrow.

A very nice hotel breakfast.

Cons:

The styling is a little dated but added character. Some of the bedding was stained. The room had a very musty smell, possibly due to the carpeting. The road outside was very load. The room had a window above the door that let in light from the hallway outside which made it difficult to sleep at night. I was not sure if we had permission to turn this light off or not but often times it was not switched off until 10/11 which interrupted sleep as we had earlier rises for buses.

10/10 muy buen hotel para la familia
Pros:

Viaje con mi familia y el hotel fue de los mejores que visité, la habitación cumple con todo lo que ofrecen, el desayuno muy bueno y completo.
La ubicación es buena, frente a un gran parque para los pequeños

Cons:

Todo bien, como consejo podrían sumarle una silla para bebés en el restaurante y una secadora en la habitación.

Pros:

Le personnel était adorable et aux petits soins. Ils nous ont aidé à trouver des taxis même au milieu de la nuit. Le déjeuner était très bon et très copieux

Cons:

Tout était parfait mise à part que la douche était difficile à régler et que la chambre n’était pas bien insonorisée (comme tous les logements au Pérou)
