Clean, new, well-furnished room with good amenities.

The unique key collection process using a code and lockbox adds a bit of mystery to the arrival, making it feel like a secret mission as soon as you step foot in the place. The 'Studio with Balcony' allows for a sliver of outdoor space, even if it’s cozy enough for just one chair.

Checking in can be a hassle. Arriving without knowing about the lack of a reception takes the excitement out of the adventure. Be prepared for some unpleasant smells, especially from the drains during rain, and don’t count on the internet if you plan to do any serious work. The 'Economic suite' is in dire need of natural light-if you're not careful, you'll feel like you’re in a cave. Bring a heater if you happen to find the apartment nippy, as it’s not exactly toasty. The walking distance back to the hotel is uphill, which can be a bit of a trek at the end of a long day.

I enjoyed my stay at Santa Cruz! The central location made it easy to explore, and the shower had fantastic water pressure. Just a heads up, the walls were thin, and I could hear everything from the neighbors, which made it tricky to sleep sometimes.

The studio had great decor, but the noise from neighbors was pretty disruptive.

The location is fantastic, right in the heart of the historical center, making it easy to explore local attractions.

Noise levels were unbearable at times. I could hear everything happening in the adjacent rooms and outside on the street, making it hard to get a restful sleep.

Fantastic Views and Comfortable Stay

I stayed in a duplex apartment with a lovely sun terrace that made for perfect evening relaxation with drinks. The apartment was beautifully furnished and very clean, with great details like a handy coffee maker and lots of plug sockets. The location couldn't be more perfect, as it was just a short walk to numerous bars and restaurants, making it really convenient.

The economic suite was devoid of natural light, making it feel more like a cave. A funky odor lingered in the air, reminiscent of a basement, and the room was uncomfortably cold, necessitating the use of heating. Despite these drawbacks, the regional bread served at breakfast was delightful and a standout feature during the stay.

decent stay with some room for improvement

The room had a sufficient setup, including utilities that made my stay comfortable. The decor provided a pleasant ambiance, enhancing overall enjoyment. I appreciated the beautiful city view from the studio, which added a lovely touch to my mornings.

The bathroom door didn't close properly initially, though it was fixed quickly.

Very clean and modern studio with a fantastic view over the plaza. An excellent location near the beach and dinning spots. The shower had great water pressure, ensuring refreshing moments after a day of exploring.

The check-in process could be streamlined as it took some time, especially under the midday sun.

The studio was modern and clean, equipped with a comfortable bed, a coffee maker, and air conditioning. The highlight was the fantastic view over the plaza, along with a perfect location just steps from the beach. Communication with the host was excellent, ensuring a smooth stay.

Noise levels were high.
