Location is decent, a little noisy though cause of the street next to it. Rooms weren't very clean. Rooms size is decent, bed is okay. The view is great if you're facing Arenal

Spartano, per chi si accontenta
Ho soggiornato due notti con mia moglie in una stanza con bagno privato. La stanza era dotata solo di un letto matrimoniale e di un comodino, senza armadi, tavoli o altre sedie. Seppur bene illuminata da grandi finestre, le tende erano così trasparenti da costringerci a stare con la luce elettrica spenta la sera, per evitare di essere visti da fuori. Il bagno, ampio e spazioso, era però dotato di una doccia da cui l'acqua non si scaricava bene e ristagnava sul fondo. Personale molto cordiale e disponibile. Rete wireless un po' instabile, ma tutto sommato accettabile
