The hotel's location was a bit of a mixed bag. While it was central and close to major bus terminals, the area felt a bit unsafe and noisy. On the bright side, the proximity to key landmarks like the National Theater and the gold museum was convenient.

The dining options were below average compared to other places. The breakfast included was not the greatest, but there were hot and cold sandwiches available. Considering the overall quality, the dining experience left much to be desired.

Upon arriving, the hotel was right in the center of downtown, making it a strategic location if you want to walk around and see the main attractions. The rooms, unfortunately, weren't as clean as I had hoped, and the noise from the busy street outside was a bit bothersome. On the bright side, the staff was very nice and helpful.
