Nobile Hotel Estación Central
Clean room, nice hotel, great breakfast. Our mattress was outdated and definitely needed to be replaced. The area outside the hotel is definitely big city downtown situation with homeless and the sense of security isn’t the greatest but my wife and I only had one questionable experience.
