Pros:

La ubicación. Ubicado en getsemani a 1 minuto de la plaza de la trinidad y de las calles principales de bares pero no sé escuchaba nada de ruido lo cual permite buen descanso. Las instalaciones son bonitas con disponibilidad de dos piscinas. El desayuno estaba bien, en la linea del desayuno colombiano.

Cons:

Bien en relación calidad-precio

Pros:

A localização é perfeita! O hotel fica perto das principais ruas de Getsêmani. Tudo perto. O ar condicionado maravilhoso, forte e silencioso. O café da manhã básico, porém gostoso e suficiente. Os funcionários super atenciosos. O check out foi às 11h, mas nos deixaram tomar banho mais tarde num banheiro externo, perto da piscina e guardaram nossas malas, já que nosso voo era do no final do dia. Recomendo fortemente esse hotel.

Cons:

Um frigobar fez muita falta e também devem colocar um blackout porque o quarto fica muito claro cedo demais
