We stayed at the Amistar apartment for 5 nights in January 2024. The apartment itself was quite nice and clean. Whenever we requested replacement towels, they were provided the next day. We rented this apartment specifically because it mentioned laundry, however laundry is not in this suite, it's located in a different tower and it uses coin operated machines. The laundromat closed at 2100, which when on vacation, is hard to get a wash load and dry load done by that time. The area around the apartment was all walkable in a historic district, however there was unwanted characters nearby

very good location, closed to attractions, there is a big grocery store closed by. Has security guards by the building entrance. Gabriel who checked us in and suggested couple nice restaurants. He also helped us to get a ride to the airport in the early morning at check out day. He responded to our question quick. Thanks Gabriel. The needed improvement part were no kitchen towel or paper towel in the kitchen, no shower gel/soap (only shampoo and conditioner), no wash cloth, only 1 bath towel for each person. The shower head kept dropping, couldn't stay up right. There was no extra roll of toilet paper. It was just enough for our stay. Glad we didn't have diarrhea. :-)

Dear Kin, thank you very much for your stay, and for your comments regarding our attention and the perfect location. Regarding the utensils, I confirm that our apartments are fully equipped, with bathroom linen such as body and foot towels, shampoo and soap (we are surprised that you mentioned that there was no soap, because it is among the amenities that we provide, I ask you the apologies in this regard, and for those cases, you can rely on our Reception staff like Gabriel whom you mentioned, to give you, for example, soap), and a complete bed linen, however, the most personal things such as a towel of dishes guests buy in the supermarket on the first floor.Best regards and have a nice return to your home

Great location. Disappointing apartment.
The Hotels.com confirmation did not have any contact information to organize the check-in, and Amistar did not contact us to help with check-in or luggage hold. The entire place was dirty and run-down, we had to clean every surface before putting anything down. Office worker Rodolfo was super nice. Stay there if you like camping. Best part was the grocery store next door, security and location near Santa Lucia park and walking distance to Cerro San Cristobal and subway. Bring earplugs since the rooftop bar next door plays loud music. Great price for someone on a tight budget!

Thank you very much Malka for your stay at Amistar and for the comments about all the things you liked about your stay such as Security, location, and reception service, and having the Walmart supermarket on the first floor. Regarding your negative mentions, I can comment on the following:- I apologized to him about it.- The departments at the end of February and during March are in full remodeling, which implies new paint and maintenance of equipment.- The confirmation from Hotels.com did not give us any possibility of contacting you, since there was only one email to which we wrote but we did not receive a response from you back. We have a Reception office where we have luggage storage.- As a policy we always communicate with our guests before their arrival, but in her case we had no way to locate her.

Staff was very helpful, especially when I needed copies of documents to replace a stolen passport. Staff is helpful with info for some travel information as well as nearby facilities. Disappointed appartment did not have balcony as shown in ad, that is what is expected but did not get. Electricity went out twice during stay, not good. Nice office is open 24/7. Nice to have paid shuttle (although would be nicer if free) service to airport. Great location to walk to many sights.

Regarding what you say about the balcony, I am sorry to say that you are wrong with your assessment, since like all the hotels in the world, in the photos shown on the Expedia page, they are of all types of departments and common areas However, when you select the department of your choice, only the photos of that type of department are shown, which in your case selected the most economical and no photos were shown with Balcony.

壊れた設備は修繕して下さい。
1) Wifiは他の部屋と共有しているようで、非常に帯域が限定され接続速度は実用に耐えないほどに低速であり不安定であったし、全く使い物にならなかった。 しかも別の部屋にルーターがあり、その別の部屋のルーターからLANケーブルを分派していると思われ、部屋のルーターは中継機として機能していると思われた。そしてその別の部屋に滞在した客がLANケーブルをその部屋のルータから外したと思われ、ネット接続が滞私の滞在の最後の数日間は完全に断絶状態だった。なぜ部屋ごとにプロバイダー契約し、部屋ごとにルーターを設置しないのか、その吝嗇する姿勢は戴けないし、ゲストのプライバシーを軽視する姿勢が透けて見える。非常に由々しき態度である。 2) 部屋の窓の錠前が壊れており施錠できなかった。 防犯への意識も低いと言わざるを得ない。 3) このアパートメントの敷地は広く、A、B、Cの3棟がある。メインの出入口は敷地の北側にあるがそこからC棟のエレベータまでは100m以上の距離がありC棟は南側の出入口が至近となる。荷物の多い方は南側からの搬入が楽であるが北側の出入口の守衛しかあなたの来訪を承知していないだろう。 何かと使いにくい不満の絶えない施設であった。

nota 10, porém necessita de uma limpeza pesada
o apartamento é muito bom e muito bem equipado. Tudo funcionando bem. Confortável e espaçoso, porém tem um ponto negativo bem forte. Está precisando de uma limpeza pesada. Ligamos o ar condicionado duas noites e tinha um cheiro muito forte de xixi. Demoramos a entender que vinha do ar condiocionado. Os móveis e eletrodomésticos estão engordurados. Na maioria dos lugares que se toca a mão gruda. Com uma limpeza pesada o apartamento seria nota 10.
