Great little place! Clean and for the most part staff were great! The weekend staff didn't speak very good english and was frustrating but the weekday staff were great. They have bikes to rent but not the best condition...breaks dont work and the chain kept popping off. But they gave to us very cheap so I guess you get what you pay for...the pool was perfect and the rooms were decent. Prime location 5 min walk to 5th av Nd the beach. For the price this was a good cheap place to stay.
Absolutely wonderful and relaxing hotel. Our room was right next to the pool. Very quiet and the staff is very friendly. A quick walk to a nice strip of bars and restaurants. Wish we had stayed longer :)
I found this hotel through a Groupon deal. I called before to check availability and they offered me a better deal. Hotel is a bit hidden and a couple blocks from the 5th Avenue, but you'll need a taxi or car to reach the actual Restaurant/Bar area of the 5th avenue (10 minute drive) Rooms are cozy and well equipped. There's no food service, but you'll get all expected amenities. Good value for your money. No parking, but you can park in the street without any trouble. If you're going to be going all day on tours, but don't want to hassle with expensive AirBNBs or unnecessary luxury, this is your option.
So this is Actually a Colive. My experiences were pretty great! We had good rules for quiet hours and neighbors that were ok with bending them now and then. There was lots of space and it’s a beautiful building, though very unassuming from the outside. It’s located a 5-10 min walk to beach and 5th. Perfect distance away to have peace, quiet, and safety. PROS: great price for monthly, good rooms with AC and most have kitchenettes with Programable safes. The WiFi is good with so many people there. We met people from all around the world! There’s pretty big pool, and good balance of plants there. The management is relaxed and easy to talk too. They are fluent in English too so say Hello! CONS: sometimes the WiFi dropped not long usually. We went a day without hot water a few times. We had a slight problem with the community trash can overflow but they replaced it for a bigger one. OVERALL: I would happily stay here again. I really miss the city and Casa Martin! Well worth the money.
Lively area with dance clubs, global dining & exhibits on the artist's life at Frida Kahlo Museum.
