Really great value for the price. Staff were all very nice & helpful. We felt safe and comfortable. The breakfast options were really good & probably our favorite part of our stay. Hotel is walking distance to everything. Nice rooftop pool too.

2 night stay at Sahara Hotel

This hotel is fine for budget travel. Very centrally located. The property is dated and could use a total renew but beds were decent, shower was hot and the room was clean.

6/10 Good

Location is really good. Convenient.
ADRIAN, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The location is excellent, very close to Quinta Avenida, but without the noise. An easy walk from the ADO bus station. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Great options for food and all amenities. The beach is super easy to access. All in all, for the price,I really enjoyed my stay here. Would stay here again.
Randy, 7-night trip

4/10 Fair

The property had missing parts of it drywall, the mattresses we unbearable to sleep on, we had to buy foam to put on the mattresses and didn't get much sleep because it was so bad. The water took at least 20 minutes to warm up and the mini split air conditioner did not work well. I would never stay in this hotel again.

Unenjoyable stay

For this budget price I just hope for clean and safe. However the room’s door handle was loose and barely locked, felt very insecure. Mattresses had plastic covering under sheets so very hot. Housekeeping did not service the room but took away all the towels (which were hung up, not on floor) and refused to replace them unless they were tipped. Fridge in room very noisy. Generally, the room and hotel smelled like mildew/mould.

Buena estancia

Fue un viaje en familia, ocupamos varias habitaciones, en general todo estuvo como en la publicidad. Nos tocó en fechas de el carnaval, fuera de eso todo bien. El estacionamiento está limitado a 10 plazas, pónganse en contacto tal vez tu reserva lo incluye, en caso de que no puedes separar con un costo adicional. En general un muy buen lugar, céntrico y muchas opciones

La atención de Recepción nocturna es muy deficiente y no amigable al arender para upgrade. Habitación 13 muy ruidosa del techo, como algo trabajando con una bomba de agua.
