    This hotel is a hidden gem in the heart of Getsemani. The location is excellent, right in the center with lots of things going on, especially in the evening at Trinidad square. You'll never run out of things to do and explore nearby.

    All was great, nothing to improve here!

    This hotel has an amazing location, right in the heart of the action in Getsemani. It's just off the main plaza, making it convenient to explore all the nearby attractions. What I loved is that it's close to everything, but thankfully not next to a noisy bar or restaurant, so you still get a good night's sleep. The staff here is incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure you have a comfortable stay. The rooms are basic but well-maintained, and the ones with air conditioning are a definite plus, especially in the hot weather. I also enjoyed the breakfast on the rooftop, with delicious pancakes included.

    All in all, everything was okay.
