helpful stafffriendly staffdelicious breakfastgood location

Osvaldo was at the front desk. He was very helpful! All staff were very friendly and professional. The breakfast had good quality and tasted delicious. I requested gluten-free bread and this was provided, though there was a very long line at the only coffee machine- The location was really good. Close to the biggest public transportation hub. I could go directly to the airport by metro. There were restaurants nearby.

The air conditioning system only provided warm air. I opened the window at night, but outside noises were audible.
