“Friendly staff and clean and comfy beds!”
The bedroom was very clean and the bed was really comfortable! The staff was exceptionally friendly and it was super cool to have a restaurant right underneath! The food and service there was also great and I would highly recommend it! It was also pretty quiet considering that it’s right above a busy restaurant.

The host was absolutely wonderful! He proudly showed us around the rooms, which were beautiful and thoughtfully decorated. The whole apartment had a great atmosphere. You could really tell how much care and effort had gone into it. Everything was spotless, brand new, and worked perfectly. We accidentally left something behind in the room after checking out, but when we called the host, he helped us right away so we could quickly be on our way again. The restaurant was just as lovely, and the food was absolutely delicious.

The pension was a good place for one night stopovers, not far away from the highway. The structure is dated but the room is renovated and the bed is comfortable. A coffee machine and an electric kettle are in the room as well with a coffee pad and instant cappuccino. A fridge is outside in the common area but curious, it has 4 looked compartments for private use. The staff is quite friendly and you can enjoy good Mexican food at the restaurant downstairs.

“Don't book if you're a non-smoker”
The floor where the rooms are located is in the same room where the staff take their break, which is why the whole floor smelled like smoke! As a non-smoker it was very irritating and made us feel sick. The shower was broken, the drain in the shower was clogged. I wouldn't recommend the hotel if you're a non smoker.
