Quiet little hotel tucked out of the way. Only confusion for me was how to set the water temperature in the shower - I’ve never seen an electric shower head!

Very clean. The most lovely staff. Got stuck there when our flight got cancelled. The woman at the front desk was so helpful Was unsure of the area but we could walk to Walmart. We were told the restaurants were another 500 metres but it was dark Max 15 minutes to the airport

Had to book extra night near airport after cancelled flight. Nothing wrong with the area or hotel just not to my standards. More of a motel than hotel.

It was clean and close to some shopping. There wasn’t anyone at the front desk later in the afternoon. The shower was difficult for me to get hot water as it was so high to reach the electrical apparatus.

Close to Walmart and the "American" part of Liberia. Very clean and nice, quiet and quaint. The hotel has a small restaurant, and some of the staff knows English, if your Spanish is not good. If you are renting a car, they can deliver the car to this hotel as well, which is convenient. As of 2024 you can get there from the airport with Uber for about $12, the taxi is about $20.

The hotel is located in a residential neighborhood with a nearby bar/lounge. The bar played loud music until midnight so we could hear the thumping which was not conducive to sleep. The bathroom was tiny and the electrical panel is located IN the shower above the shower curtain which did not look safe. Luckily, we were there only 1 night and opted not to use the shower.

The young man who greeted me at the reception desk was very courteous and friendly. Checking was fast. I gave him my name and told him it had already been paid for through Expedia. He found me on his list and he handed me the key. It's a great value given its proximity to the airport. As other reviewers have commented, it's a great place if you need to stay near the airport before your flight.

Shuttle Transportation is listed as a service, NONE is provided. It is best if you know Spanish to communicate your needs. Otherwise, bed was clean, no hot water, not near any amenities. I would pass on this one, unless you are just traveling through and need a place to sleep.

A good place to stay if all you need is a room. No amenities close by and cafe was not open at all. Close to the airport and has a shuttle service you can pay for.

Place bien, à proximité de la ville, on doit dormir les fenêtres ouvertes sans moustiquaire alors on c’est fait piquer toute la nuit. Le bruit des voitures et motocyclettes empêche de dormir, pensez à apporter des bouchons. Si non, personnel très gentil et serviable!

Unfortunately, myself and another customer were overbooked into the hotel. However, the gentleman at the reception was extremely helpful in helping us both to find rooms at another location and getting us to the site. Because of the his efforts, I am just thinking of this as a vacation adventure, something a little unusual.

Location wasn’t terrible it was just behind Walmart in town. Perfect for a nights stay after a later arrival in Liberia. Great breakfast spot in hotel too. We did hear gun shots at night though. A bit concerning but thankfully didn’t affect us. There was 3 beds in our room too, which was perfect for 3 solo travellers.

Our next door hotel neighbors rampaged like rabbits all night long and we could hear their moans and spanks etc. They even started the next morning early. Area around the hotel is pretty trashy - walking to the river is gross. Coffee was not free. Old skool suicide shower barely worked.
