In need of substantial redecoration but very good

The location is very handy; you can have short journeys (by taxi) to the trendy shops in the area (walks at your own risk). The staff is very helpful and warm (as they should be for the price you are paying). In terms of the rooms (I have experience a few)...don't pay attention to what is going on in the wourld outsie if you are staying on the side of the dreary Alameda Santos. Breakfast is very good, particularly if you have a Japanese streak in your blood. A tired looking venue but very good hotel
