I found this hotel to be a gem in the heart of La Candelaria! The location was incredibly convenient for exploring the area, and the hospitality was top-notch. My room was cozy and well-kept, but it did get a bit noisy due to its position. The breakfast was simple but satisfying. For the price, it was definitely a great deal, though earplugs are a must if you're sensitive to noise in the mornings.
