Ok the good: it’s clean, quiet, and no one will bother you. If you have business in this part of town (Usaquén) or at the big hospital, Pepe’s is well placed. Check-in is easy.
The not-so-good: The exterior code -locks are a little hard to find, and the code hasn’t changed in 6 months. No trash bin in the room except for a teeny one in the bathroom. Insecure door locks. The room was freezing cold, and there are no heaters. The TV wasn’t set up so it took 30 minutes of screwing around before i got a picture. Dead batteries in the remote. There was no soap in the bathroom. No little hotel bars, and the dispenser in the shower was bone dry. And for much of the day, and all of the night, there’s no one around to address little issues like this.
Breakfast is okay. Eggs cooked to order, maybe some fruit and cheese, and some toast. There is cereal, but i couldn’t tell if the carafe of white stuff i was meant to pour over it was milk or yogurt.
All these issues are pretty minor, and they are all easily fixed. But there are a dozen hotels within 500m that do take care of these details, and for about the same price.
Pepes House has potential, but they need to tighten up their ship a little before i go back.
