Value for your money and location are good. I didn't like the breakfast it,s the same like hostels bread/jam. You can better go to Juan around the corner.

Nothing to complain, great location, service, very tidy room with a small balcony (or terrace) to enjoy the view, especially at night :) ps: people giving less stars for TV problems should really reconsider why they're coming to this beautifully city

Pasé aquí siete noches y siempre dormí muy bien. La cama limpia y fresca. Aire acondicionado y televisión. Ningún ruido desde la calle. Me encantó la ubicación céntrica, cerca de la Puerta de Tierra. Es un hotel sencillo y bien atendido. Volveré, quedé muy satisfecho

i like this hotel. a nice place to stay for resting after visiting tourist areas. the hotel is quiet and well maintained. the staff was ok but i feel that more smiles was missing... the wifi in my room was terrible, so i asked to be fixed next day, so they move me to another room.. a bit smaller but the internet was good. in general this is a place to rest with good beds and bathroom. the decoration is nice for the price range. a good deal. i just wish more welcome smiles rather that polite cold replays...

This hotel is located in a walkable section of historic Campeche, very close to Calle 59. The room was comfortable and cool at night. They serve free unlimited coffee, orange juice, and pastries all morning which was great. Overall it was a solid stay.

Location is fantastic! Clean, quiet rooms for the most part. Large flat screen tv with netflix for kids to watch and have downtime. A/C works great this time of the year. Will definitely try and stay here again.
