Comfortable, clean hotel
Clean and comfortable with competent staff. The free breakfasts have a wide variety of dishes, and you can order omelettes for no extra charge. The staff speak English reasonably well, so logistics are fairly easy (getting taxis, changing booking details, etc.). The rooms are spacious and offer nice views of the city. The only negatives are things beyond the hotel's control: occasional city-wide power outages and water shutoffs.

Excellent value for money
Good value for money hotel. Small but adequate balcony affords lovely views of the daily comings and goings of the city and the mountains in the background. Great place to spend a day or two acclimatising to the altitude. Easy walking distance to St George's Church and can also walk to the main museums. Food adequate to good. Affordable laundry service. Only downside was the erratic internet service and inadequate hot water.

Hôtel correct et bon rapport qualité/prix
Quelques soucis dans la fourniture de l'énergie électrique dus aux travaux en cours dans le secteur. Le générateur ne prends pas toujours le relai. Ceci cause quelques désagréments, notamment au niveau des ascenseurs.

Loin et vieux
Hôtel très excentré, et peu pratique pour les voyages d'affaires. Le trafic est intense et on perd beaucoup de temps en transports. Personnel aimable. Locaux vieillots. Chambre correcte, à la propreté approximative. Pas d'isolation sonore sur la rue passante. Pas de rideaux opaques. Difficile de dormir si l'on est sensible au bruit et à la lumière.

Good location if you want to stay N of the Piaza
Decent place. Decent rate when on sale. Hotel staff are a bit shy but nice. Good location (near all the sights up in the north end of town). You need to call for airport pick-up (they didnt reply to emails).
