Repeated praise for cleanliness ("propreté excellent", "how clean the place was") and liked decoration; rooms presented as very clean.
Staff repeatedly praised (friendly personnel, helpful safety advice, free walking tour) — service is a standout feature.
Excellent central location (a block from the plaza) noted by several guests; one comment about difficult local traffic/ circulation slightly tempers the score.
Positive comments on decoration and overall room condition alongside cleanliness indicate high room quality.
Mixed: strong on extras (24/7 café, free snacks/drinks, rooftop restaurant), but negatively impacted by a reported non-working WiFi.
Described as an "excellent bargain" and guests expressed willingness to return — strong value perception.
Highly praised free breakfast overlooking the plaza, excellent rooftop restaurant and 24/7 café; food and beverage offerings are a highlight.
Guests frequently say they would stay again and 'highly recommend'; overall very positive with minor issues (WiFi, traffic) slightly lowering the aggregate impression.

“Highly recommend”
The location, only a block from the plaza, was great. As a single female traveler, I was really touched by the do's and don'ts the staff gave me about safely navigating the city. The free walking tour was well paced and informative. I also loved the delicious free breakfast over looking the plaza. Last but not least, the hotel's Cafe that is open 24/7 is an excellent bargain. I would definitely stay here again.
