Has anyone stayed at either the Hotel Wellington or the Colonial Plaza SD lately? Are they very nice, how about rates etc. I'm travelling alone and would like a nice hotel room but don't need 5-star. Thanks..
The "Duque de Wellington" is a nice little hotel in Independecia. I spent around US$30-35 when I stayed there last Spring. You can walk around easy and get to the Malecon or the Colonial Zone w/o any problems. Villa Italia is about the same caliber and but is a bit out of the way if you don't have a car.
The Duque of Wellington is a good choice. I stayed there two times over the past five months and it was very adequate. Well located with friendly staff. I paid $ 500 pesos a night while there.
