Nice place but not your normal hotel. The hotel is exactly what the name is a bee nest. The rooms are very small but has everything you need.

This is fine for a one night stay but kind of in a sketchy area, not much nearby and the hotel room is bare bones and just dumpy.

A very old hotel in a rundown section of town where no saying individual would dare to venture out at night with no stairs no air conditioning in the public areas and a window unit in each of the rooms which looks like it might have been made in the 1950s and works like it was made in the 1950s and last service then

The room was clean and organized. The hotel location is in the Center of Río Piedras. Near, You have an ice cream store, pharmacy and a Police Headquarters. Also, You have ATI a Train Station beside the hotel. The TV service in the room was available in spanish and English. Even the Smartv they have in the room allows You to connect with tour phone using Airplay and or Smart Connect. The services of iron, iron board, blower and iron for the hair, You asked for them in front desk. Over all service, excellent.

Cute hotel with a nice history! Convenient location too. I enjoyed the breakfast. The room was comfortable and had a nice little kitchenette if you wanted to stay longer. The worst parts are the shower and the mosquitoes at breakfast in the outdoor area. The shower flooded the bathroom because the drain was clogged. I thought the cleaning person should have realized this if the shower was cleaned, since it flooded immediately. The breakfast offered was very nice with many options. As I was enjoying my coffee, I ended up with very itchy legs due to the 13 mosquito bites. A fan on the floor would have helped them not to land on me.

Absolutely no warm water at any tine of day or nignt. Ice cold.
The staff was very nice. The hotel is okay for short stay or not spending time in the room.
No elevator, or ice, or vending machines.
With no hot water, I wonder how they sanize the bedding and towels....
