It was ok for the price. Breakfast was ok. It's in a dodgy area, so don't go outside after dark on your own and keep phones, jewellery and valuables out of sight

Comfortable stay

We had a very comfortable stay and the breakfast was excellent. It was perfect for what we needed and at a good price. The safe and one of the lights didn’t work. As it’s central, it is noisy in the mornings.

The hotel is reliable and functional. The staff were friendly and helpful. The block in front of it isn't that great, but it's around the corner from the pedestrian mall that leads to the mercado and other shopping, food, and drinks. Very convenient. Good value.

A very basic but clean and friendly hotel. It is very close to the bus stations (ex: Tuaso bus to the airport)....2 minutes walk with luggage. The hotel is in the downtown, central market areas....lots of butcher shops, clothes shopping, fast food, and casinos. The breakfast is simply but good. The staff is friendly and professional. No luxury but safe, clean, and friendly.

Hotel Novo is a plain, decent hotel. Everything works. The staff is friendly and helpful. Good rates, with a good breakfast included. The neighborhood is typical of a busy city. Best of all, the hotel is around the corner from Avenida Central, a long, lively pedestrian mall that includes the vibrant Mercado Central.

Great location! You can walk to nearby shops, parks, restaurants, and a bus station that goes to the airport. I love that we can leave our luggage and they have a place to hold it so we can drop our car off. The on-site restaurant is delicious and the staff are friendly and helpful. The room was clean and the bed was comfy. The street traffic can get a little noisy but I can easily fall back asleep. I have stayed here before and will continue to do so in the future.

Average: not too bad, not too good

It sufficed. Some of the fixtures and fittings (electrical sockets) did not work, could be cleaner, a bit run down and in a run down neighbourhood. Not too bad a place, also not too good
