“Nice Budget Find”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2008

Upon arrival we were not pleased with the hotel we had booked, so went looking & was lucky to find Centro Colonial. A budget property ($45 double/2beds). Small hotel built around central courtyard with good colonial ambiance. Room, bathroom & hotel facility were all spotlessly clean. No street noise to speak of, & even though the hotel was full, it was relatively quiet at night, certainly after 11PM. Only 1 block from main plaza. TV got CNN in English & the staff were helpful. Would stay again on another visit. Very pleasant.

Stayed August 2008

“Lovely setting (but beware of your personal belongings!)”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 March 2008

We selected this hotel based on aesthetics with the curvy staircase reminiscent of the works of Gaudi. Inside there is a lush courtyard containing a menagerie of botanicals and the rooftop terrace (reached from the spiral staircase at the back of the second floor) yields spectacular views of the city. The mid-range price of 65 USD/night brought us a spacious triple room just a block off from Parque Central in the direction of the markets. Lovely decor and aura aside, safety is a bit of a concern here. The concierge is located behind the curvy staircase and we found it not to be always manned. Sometimes there were street vendors seeking refuge just inside the doors of the hotel. Unfortunately, while we were out enjoying the city one day, some money went missing (300Q collectively) during the time frame that our room was made up. The money disappeared from hiding places that were cleverly (though apparently not clever enough!) tucked away out of the open. Our belongings were definitely rifled through and pickpocketed, whether by staff or during the time that the staff had unlocked our room for cleaning :(

Also, have not found much information on this property, so perhaps it has recently changed ownership and names?
