“In my opinion, this hotel places you right in the heart of Getsemani's vibrant atmosphere, an excellent base for cultural exploration at a price that's hard to beat. The inclusion of both continental and American breakfast options strikes me as a thoughtful touch. Plus, knowing there's 24-hour security offers additional peace of mind during your stay.”
