Our experience at Hotel Nest wasn’t what we expected. The hotel itself was nice from the outside of the rooms, but the room itself was dirty. There were limited supplies and barely any of our requests were made. There was no hot water and we stayed at the hotel for 5 days. Each day we had to take a shower with cold water, only have the room cleaned on request and even then nothing was done. The staff treated us ok, but barely acknowledged our requests as guests and majority of the time we received unneeded attitude and disrespect. Never again.

My room was the worst I ever had. My friend's room was a lot better than mine and we had the same "room with a view". My bathroom looked crazy, soon as I walked in the shower rod was on the floor in a heap. The water did not get hot at all and barely came out. Outside of that, it was clean. My friend's room is what you would see be advertised. My room is what you get instead if you don't see ahead of time. The staff was great and helpful and the building felt safe.

Estructura sencilla, antigua pero bonita. Cuartos pequeños, camas no tan cómodas. En el Cuarto asignado no funcionaba el acondicionador de aire. Televisor sin acceso a canales locales. Atención del personal fue pésima, total falta de cortesía. Cuarto tiene nevera pero ni agua ni vasos Estacionamiento limitado pero seguro, requiere que el personal lo abra con control remoto. Falta de opciones para comer en las noches a distancia corta, a pie.

Hotel Nest - One of the Best
Nest Hotel was a clean, convenient and comfortable place to stay. Located in a historic square it was surrounded by nice buildings and restaurants. The sunrise shone right into our room. A lovely way to wake up.

The hotel staff were very helpful and the hotel is cute and clean. However it is not accessible for people with mobility challenges. The breakfast was ok, would have been nice to have more options. Bathroom water pressure could be better.
