"This sprawling old-timer offers good-sized rooms with groovy old furniture and a patina of early 1970s decor... The views over pretty Zona Romántica can't be beat." Full review

"Relaxed, long-time favourite of budget travellers. All motel-style rooms have bathrooms; the larger, more expensive “suites” also have small balconies, a/c, TV and kitchenettes."
