Liked: Staff & service
The owner was very friendly and helpful, the hotel is simple, but has some kind of originality, which also helps to create a feeling of adventure. The location is great, just steps away from downtown.

History and Service
We like staying in historical places and this one was great. Management was great as was the breakfast. We were on a room next to the street so it was noisy compared to our jungle home in Las Tumbas. The owner was very nice and spent time with us at breakfast. Bed could have been a little softer seems like I could feel the strings.

Room was dark and not quite. Hotel needs renovation. It's just close to downtown. Nothing special then.

ROOM SO LOUD!!
I stayed one night in the room off of the lobby that faced the street. It was so so so loud. Fortunately, I am a good sleeper that although I wake up, I can go back to sleep no problem. NO ONE should be placed in that room. It should be a public space.

Pleasant and excellent value
If you don't want to stay in the usual plastic Holiday Inn, this is an excellent choice. It's inexpensive, unique, pleasant, and many of the guests are interesting people. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and can help you get the most out of your stay.
