A paradise for photographers
Guests who loved taking photos adored the hotel's location. The establishment is only a stone's throw from the Hotel Nacional with plenty of period buildings and classic American cars for photographers to keep busy. Make sure to stay a room in the higher floors for a more scenic view.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Hostel may be a little bit difficult to find
Guests noted that there is no sign outside of the building, and no other indication of the hotel's existence. If you're riding a cab to go there, you may have to give specific instructions to the driver. Thus, remember to check their website for the address and other vital information beforehand.
negative:
Minor issues with the housekeeping service
Small housekeeping faults like forgetting to restock the coffee supplies in the room and closing the windows are among the complaints of some guests. You can report this to the front desk, or you can just ignore and give the housekeeping staff a second chance when these issues happen.
negative:
Weak Wi-Fi signal
Do not depend on the hotel's free Wi-Fi if you have important business to do online. Many guests have expressed their disappointments at the slow and unreliable Wi-Fi signal of the hotel.
