Muy buena atención. Llegué tarde en la noche con mi papá discapacitado y nos atendieron muy bien. Le dieron una habitación en planta baja y cuidaron que estuviera cómodo.

Great inexpensive private room.
Very inexpensive private room on the second floor. I stayed nearly 2 weeks while shopping and doing other business in Pamana. I extended my stay twice without any problems. Note that the hotel is managed by Hotel Del Mar just next door.

For a cheap room it offers a private bathroom, air-conditioning, soft towels and natural light from the window.
The staff didn't speak English. The rooms were not clean, the showers leaked water over the bathroom floor, the lights were dimmed and one room missed a shower head. The ceiling was peeling and outside the windows on the platform was garbage dumped. No complimentary shampoo or coffee available.

T.A.B.(THREAT ASSESS. BRIEF). NOT A REVIEW
Hotel and area not recommended for WESTERN tourists. Here you are the HVT! Hotel located three blocks from MASSIVE squalored slums. Odds of getting rolled up here are high DAY AND NIGHT. OPSEC AND COMSEC MANDATORY. Have your head on a swivel. Have your "Grey-Man" PERFECTED if you chose to stay in this area! EDC PPG/Personal Protective Gear can be purchased here with ease and cheap. Avoid offers from people/taxi drivers to be tour guides. Unless they have license, business card with contact numbers and website! Period! Otherwise you may get taken for the ride of your life. This area duplicate of Kali Columbia!!!! You dun been warned amigo!!!

Les escribí por lo del traslado del aeropuerto al hotel y nunca recibí respuesta. El traslado al aeropuerto tampoco es gratis. Lo único bueno es que la recepcionista es muy atenta pero las instalaciones se ven desmejoradas y sucias. No pude dormir porque había cucarachas en todos lados, como si tuvieran una plaga. No lo recomiendo en lo absoluto.
