Had to spend one night here as the brazilian consulate was closed for 2 days so our trip was pushed back. Had come from a beautiful B and B named Casa Yaguarete. It was 100 pesos cheaper and a million times better.
Los Helechos was a complete rip off, unless you are paying 100 pesos for a double, its not worth it. The TV was 13 inches and was fuzzy half the time, the toilet ran all night, the sheets kept coming off the matress as they werent big enough for the bed, the sink had ants crawling all over it, the air cond was so noisy and went on and off all night, and the room was dingy and awkward. The breakfast in the morning had day old bread, old fruit and that was it.
the staff was terrible, no one was ever at the front desk and they could care less about helping out. Its almost as though some owner overseas is just raking in the money from this terrible hotel and not putting one dime back into the upkeep of the hotel. Basically the whole place needs new management that even cares in the slightest OR needs to be torn down.
The only good thing about this hotel is that it is two blocks from the bus station. Taxis are so cheap that you can stay anywhere, no need to be close to the station.
