In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • High guest ratings across the board — With an overall score of 8.4 from 85 reviews, the hotel scores well on rooms, service, and staff (each 8.3 or 8.5), plus a perfect 10 for a key category.
  • Practical self-catering facilities — A shared kitchen with cookware and kitchen utensils, plus a dining table in studios, make it easy to eat in and save money during your stay.
  • Central location near Pueblito — The hotel sits just 0.6 km from Pueblito, a short walk that suits guests who want to explore the area without relying on transport.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Very small property — With only six rooms, availability is limited and the atmosphere is intimate rather than grand—fine for some, but not if you prefer a larger hotel with more facilities.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 22:00, so late arrivals could be a challenge if you're landing outside that window.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
