MINERVA GUEST HOUSE

We had the pleasure of staying here for a few nights, and found it to be clean, cozy, comfortable, and well-appointed. It was a great location with a very safe and secure vibe due to the big gate and auto-locking doors. There is gravel in the courtyard entryway, but I was able to get in and out with my wheelchair easily as there was only a small ledge at the door, and plenty of space in the room. We were close to everything we wanted to see, and had everything we needed. The hosts, especially Silvia, (who is an absolute ray of sunshine) made sure of it! We even got recommendations for great places to eat and things to see explained in English and marked on the map. We were treated so warmly from the moment we arrived; it was like going to see family. If you want a place where you can relax in the knowledge that your host really will help with anything you need, then this is the place for you.

We thought it was somewhere else when we booked. Upon arrival in the city, we realized right away that the hotel we thought we were going to was called something else. So we had to walk around the area to find our rooms. After a few rounds and not finding the name anywhere, we started asking around, to no avail! I should mention that this is a “smart” hotel and after you check in online, you get a link to a website with two buttons that open the doors for you. Cool, right? So we decided to stand on the pinpoint that was sent to us and try the website. To our surprise, the door to a very general building, with no specific signs, opened and we went in. Lost and confused we stopped a lady who was walking towards the elevator and asked her about the rooms. She had no idea. So we decided to go to the floor mentioned in the address. On that floor we saw two doors and on one of them there was a sign that said “Minerva Rooms”. Again, with the buttons in the website we opened the door and went in. This is where everything changed. A very nice hallway with three doors. One for the kitchen, the other two for the two rooms one of which was ours to stay at. A very nice and clean kitchen, with two tables ready for breakfast tomorrow, fridge, oven, stove, microwave, coffee maker, and everything you need for a nice breakfast together with lots of sunlight from the large window. The room was comparatively large, with a double bed in the middle and ample space around it, a nice desk, TV, fridge and nightstands. The decor was beautiful and modern, with well matched colors. The whole place was extremely clean, new and shiny. The confusion from before created a magnificent contrast with the beauty of the room, which put me in awe and made me want to write down this review on the spot. We had an amazing stay there for a few days, and literally said goodbye to the room when we left. An amazing thing about the whole experience was that we didn’t have to talk to anyone. We opened the doors from our phone, and closed them behind us when we left. Simple as that. Although, the person who gave us the codes and instructions kept checking in on us (through text) to make sure everything was to our liking. It was an amazing experience and I hope stuff like that happen more often. Thanks for the great rooms, and keep it amazing. (A sign on the door wouldn’t hurt though)

Amazing location. Close to train stattion and city center. Great host with a lot of recommendation.
