We were looking for a cheap and central place and found los arcos. Most places in the current season were around 150-200 usd/night. Los arcos was around 40USD - even cheaper than hostel beds. After booking we got nervous as the reviews here were pretty harsh. However, we just returned and were pleasantly surprised Positive: - cheap! We checked again a week before our trip and couldn't find anything cheaper with that value. (High season) - amazing location right in the center, max 3-5 minutes to the beach. At night time there are a lot of foot vendors near the park. We loved it. - reception personnel was very polite and honestly cared and tried to help when something didn't work (wifi, running out of toilet paper) - we even had a small balcony facing the park. The music at night didn't bother us at all as you can simply close the door (you could hear it but it was not as crazy as described in some reviews) - water was warm (not hot, but nice after a hot day) Negative: - wifi really only works only at reception. Didn't work for me at all but I had a local Sim and every restaurant around offers wifi too - no shower curtain (not a big deal) - stains on bed sheets (were clean though. Just lot of use I guess) - reception was not staffed all the time. Sometimes you had to wait for someone - pressure in shower was weak//shower head old. Yes, you can tell it is of course an older interior but for this price and after reading the reviews I was very positively surprised. I would and will definetly stay here again. Thanks!
