Great Hotel. very clean and very helpful owner. We stayed there only a few hours cause our flight was moved and we landed earlier than expected and needed a bed to sleep for some hours.Check in in the middle of the night was no problem and was very well organized thru WhatsApp.The room was VERY clean and they have a very modern and very clean bathroom.I can highly recommend the hotel.
