Very good

Really good place to stay if you want to be right in the middle of the city where the locals are. Even with the hustle and bustle of the area really quite hotel. I stayed in the hostel which is good for 1 or 2 nights. Was also allowed to check in early. Museums are really close to the hotel. As well as el mercado central.
The issue was that at no point in time I was given a heads up that there was a dog in the room. I told the “gentleman” who was at the front desk that day. I expressed to the clerk that it would have been nice of the Hostel staff to inform me or just any guest that there was a dog (Golden Retriever) in the room due to allergies or at least in giving one a choice to make a change of where to stay. He was rude and didn’t care one bit of what was expressed to him. Wouldn’t ever stay here again. Don’t recommended to anyone!

Definitely not for family vacation.
Room was adequate. Shower pressure was great, always had hot water. Elevator was small and broke down often, not good if you are out of shape. There were a lot of street vendors right outside the door. Next time I will probably choose a different place.

Location, location, location!
The rooms are pretty basic and there is quite a bit of noise from the street, but the location makes up for it. The National Theater is just around the corner, and it's on a pedestrian only shopping street with lots of entertainment.
