I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The rooms had a fantastic view of BA, though they received very little sunlight. The bathroom was a good size, but unfortunately, the air conditioning wasn't working during my stay.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, especially on the top floors with a fantastic view of BA, lacked sunlight and had issues with air conditioning, but the location was excellent in the center, with a big avenue nearby and just next to a metro station. The dining, featuring grilled fish, was included but left something to be desired.
