Hostal Esmeralda

The staff is very friendly...and the rooms are kep immaculate. The staff is willing to listen to any 'alternate' plans one may have...and are on duty 24/7 so early, early and late/late arrivals and departures can be accomodated. I purchase light foods at the '25' hour small snack store and save that way.

Pros: The location is the principal attraction, because one is within walking distance of everything if one stays in 'Sol.' But I cannot fail to mention the overt friendliness of the staff and the excellent way my room was cared for.

Cons: The only drawback, AND THIS IS NOT THE HOTEL'S FAULT, is the noise factor. 'Sol' is a 24/7 place...and you just know that the street noise is going to keep you awake at night. If I sleep in the earlier evening...and again between 6-9 AM, I seem to be fine
