Vriendelijk
Het hotel personeel is vriendelijk, maar het hotel kan wel wat opknappen gebruiken. Je hebt alleen en koude douche, de kamer is klein (wat niet echt erg is), een goed airco, en het electra hangt er wel een beetje bij. Open lamp i de badkamer bijvoorbeeld. Geloof wel dat ze aan het renoveren zijn. Wel handig dat er een supermarkt tegenover is.

Greit hotell i lavere prisklasse. Ligger litt usentralt til, men likevel nær gamlebyen. Ikke hotellet for dem som vil tilbringe mye tid på rom, men greit overnattingssted for den som ikke vil bruke for mye penger på hotell.

We were given what seemed to be a newly remodeled room. It was larger than other rooms, it had a kitchenette and fridge. The bathroom and bed were very nice for a low budget hotel. The service was good. I would have prefered healthier breakfast choices next to “pastechi, empanada, arepa”. But they were delicious! There was the option of toast with eggs.

No son buenas instalaciones, no intentes llegar antes de las 4pm por que se molesta el dueño, en general es sucio, y de mal humor. Busquen mas opciones, no me vuelvo a quedar ahi jamas.

Where do I start...
This hotel was unbelievably terrible it shouldn’t be called a hotel. There was not hot water, no amenities, and no hospitality. The copper pipes were exposed and the room was cramped and cold. Expedia should take the listing down off their site.

This hotel is worse than a cheap run down motel.
No check in desk. No hot or even warm water. Only COLD water. No hair dryer. Door to room doesn't work properly. Rooms smell like mold. Bathrooms are size of a closet and fixtures are very old. Internet constantly kicks off and only works in one part of Hotel. Very "cheap" with toiletries. No common area. Staff was friendly, owner very stubborn. Noisey halls/can hear all sounds from other rooms and hallway. Hotel needs serious renovations ASAP! No one was there for check out, waited for over half hr for any staff to show up, no one was there, so I left key and just left the premises. Actual rooms and conditions are NOTHING like pics posted! We only stuck it out due not having a choice, all hotels nearby were totally sold out. We moved as soon as we found one available. The only plus were the staff were friendly and the location was not too far from beach and downtown.

Not luxury, but everything you really need
This isn't a luxury hotel but it served my purposes, and it made my trip to Aruba affordable. The AC kept the room comfortably cold and the wifi worked well. Everything was clean and the staff was all very nice, although most of them didn't speak English. There was a great restaurant right down the street called Gostoso- best meal I had in Aruba.

Just a room
Just a room with a bed and fridge. Hot water was undependable in the shower. Rundown neighborhood, but close to the downtown trolley. There's a decent coffee place nearby and a couple decent restaurants. It's ok if you just need a place to crash for the night while out playing during the day, but not the place if you're looking for comfort or planning on spending any time in your room.
Reactie van General Manager op 24 feb 2017
Dear Sir, Thank you for your honest feedback. Hot water is uncommon on Aruba but the water supply system gets heated up a little because of the sun, so the warmth of the water depends on how sunny it was that day. We will take your feedback seriously and will discuss them in our meeting about our renovation plans. Thank you very much, Kind regards, Secretary

Mistake
The toilet was smelling really strong, a mix of desinfectant and urine. There was no place to sit outside and relax. The room didn't have a chair or table. The manager said he'd look for another room and didn't return. I just up and left after an hour and went to another hotel.

This is one of the cheapest hotels on the island..
So it is very modest - However staff were very helpful. Reception was manned by helpful Dutch receptionist plus local trainee. There was an A/c Reception Area / Bar - snacks could be bought in the morning - although local outlets existed not far away. The Hotel was situated 800ms from the beach but also at the end of the main street (which was served by a FREE regular tourist trams) and also at the end of the tramline what became my favourite was BABYBACK GRILL - which was open from -11>11 everyday. Great portions and prices available for takeaway or eat in. PS. There was use of the hotel kitchen (Microwave+Gas Hob) which was a great bonus for the independent traveller.

Good for one night but cold shower
I stayed here for one night after a late night flight. Theodore and Isqa were super helpful and friendly. The hotel common areas were very clean and the room was as pictured. The AC worked great. However the bathroom had some issues. The shower only had cold water and did not drain. I showered in a large puddle of water from the start. Also the toilet was not seated properly and moved around everytime I sat down or got up. There is a grocery store across the street.
