Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Mixed value for the price — Some reviews reflect satisfaction with the rate, but the data shows a price of GBP 45 per night—considered modestly priced, yet a few guests may find the facilities basic for the cost.
  • Limited room types — All rooms feature a double bed—no twin or single options—and the Family Room also uses a double bed, which may not suit all group configurations.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which could be a drawback for travelers with animals.
  • No on-site parking mentioned — The property does not list parking availability, so guests arriving by car may need to find alternative arrangements.

“The room was attractive and cool, and the setting was incredible—close to other tourist areas and not far from the historic center. Air conditioning, a safe, and a TV were all there. I paid an amount that seems off (COP -2147483648).”
