The maids are good, and they are female. They are used to daily cleaning. I told the door opener at the front I didn't need it, she came anyway. Nothing done you couldn't live with and you had a fresh room. I brought out towels one day thinking I would see one of the housekeepers, I didn't and of course, the males behind the front desk didn't even know what a towel was -- another day a male helping the maid by putting out linen wanted me to take the towel to the front desk (so don't let them waste your time, and I does make you wonder what they are doing -- you're not paying to stay somewhere where you can't get to your room without a doorperson, and these really lazy+ guys standing behind counter doing whatever. You've got a privacy problem and they can really play dumb at your expense. There is an * at the end of the wifi passcode. It is very slow and spotty. The guy at the front appeared to try to lead me astray on the password, the manager (apparently) cut that off as he showed up for that when I was trying again to get it on downstairs. The elevator was down, it didn't matter that much and you can probably overlook the repairs/maintenance needed -- unless of course it's difficult for you to climb stairs. As far as I know the water in the large bottle (floor lobbies) was ok but you'll want to bring immodium or get their brand for your stay in the area and hopefully the pharmacist won't play dumb, the pharmacies are pretty good on balance -- this is a cheap product by the way. Weekday mornings are very noisy, probably everywhere around there. You might want to try an apartment -- you don't need the hotel keeping you from relaxing and doing what...
Read moreQue pouvoir dire de plus si ce n'est qu'il faut absolument éviter cette option...||La seule raison pour laquelle nous avons séjourné ici est que cet hôtel était proposé dans le cadre d'un transfert de bus entre san pedro la laguna - Guatemala city - Managua, puisque situé juste en face du terminal.||En quelques mots : près de 20 EUR la nuit pour une chambre sombre, petite, sans petit déjeuner, sans wifi, sans réelle fenêtre (!!) alors que donnant sur la rue. Je ne comprends même pas que lonely planet puisse référencer cet hôtel !! Nous n'avons pratiquement pas dormi !! ||Et puis, le petit 'restaurant' attenant... Quel désastre ! Et vous serez obliges d'y aller puisque tout le monde vous dit à votre arrivée de ne pas sortir de l'hôtel puisque c'est beaucoup trop dangereux. ||Pour finir, si on vous propose le transfert en bus PULLMAN depuis san pedro, Guatemala ou tout autre ville, vers Managua, n'acceptez surtout pas. Même si soit disant les bus sont meilleurs tel ou tel jour. C'est un grande arnaque. On vous ment sur les services, sur les horaires, sur tout ! Au lieu de 17h de bus, nous avons mis près de 28h ! On vous fait lever plus de 2h plus tôt que prévu, on vous place dans un bus miteux, surbondé (ils vont jusqu'à placer des chaises en plastique sur toute l'allée centrale !! Vive la sécurité sans parler du fait que la toilette n'est du coup plus accessible!), on vous fait dormir par terre dans un poste frontière pour attendre les employés (impossible de rester dans le bus !), et vous arrivée au final 6h plus tard que prévu. Pour quoi au final : payer 60 USD par personne au lieu de 80 USD chez une compagnie beaucoup plus recommandable (tica bus).||Plus jamais !||Nb : hotel capri, ou hotel españa,...
Read moreIt's a misery using North American standard, but after living in Guatemala for one week and learning the local ways. Both my partner and I enjoyed this hotel for no other reasons than the hot water shower!!! Trust me, if you travel in Guatemala, you would know that all place's shower is a joke with trickling droplet of lukewarm-more-like-cold water... This place is an exception.||||I can't say the same about the area, kind of sketchy, we were afraid to walk at night. But the hotel felt safe though. Rooms...
