Great little hotel for a night or two.

Service was great and the hotel was in a perfect location for sightseeing. My only issues were that the bed was VERY firm/uncomfortable and that the shower didn't seem to stay hot; it bounced between hot and cold.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The strongest point is the location—it’s in the center of Sol, which makes it easy to walk around the city. However, the hotel needs more maintenance. The toilet flush wasn’t working, and I informed reception right away, but 3 days later it still hadn’t been fixed. Also, the floors are very thin, and we could hear everything from other rooms.

My family and I enjoyed the beautiful view of the streets and the liveliness of the areas surrounding our property. The streets were very busy and nightlife was very pleasant.. shops opened late and it was very safe to walk around and see the city and shops. Staff was friendly and breakfast was amazing. Will definitely recommend this place for others to experience.

Hotel was nice, room was basic. Great location!

Great location, super friendly and helpful staff, beautiful lobby and seating area. Room was very basic, window faced an interior courtyard so no view. And sound from the neighbors echoed like crazy. A/C was basically just blowing room temp. Also, not a hostel. No kitchen or shared spaces. Overall, hotel was nice room was basic.
