Very good

The hotel is great! we love specially the food and service at the rooftop restaurant!
Also the location is excellent! we were near to restaurants, church and business!!
Selina was an excellent place to stay! I LOVED IT!
The location is great, just next to the main church and park. People in the front desk are all very kind. The room was also spacious and comfortable.
I also have to mention that I loved the breakfasts there and the people serving the breakfast were also very polite. Can't wait to be back!
The Selina was in a great location. Our stay came with a welcome drink & breakfast which were very good! We decided to have dinner there too with our complementary drink. The food was very good & even reasonably priced for the quality! The view from scenic roof top restaurant topped it all off for a great experience! It is perfect for backpackers & weekend trips. Once checked out they will store your luggage & you are still able to shower & nap in the lobby accommodations. The staff was bilingual, welcoming & helpful!
Well located, good price and quality service.
The only thing that I didn’t like was that the room was not as clean as it should. There was trash under the bed
The hotel is situated in an excellent location. The view from my bed faced the cathedral. Staff was limited in communication. No one shared with us the special activities or food options the hotel offered or what the local establishments offered. The hot water was a hit or miss. I was able to deal with the low pressure but not the cold shower. The bedroom was cold at times. Blankets and Towels were scarce. My friend slipped on the wet floor after a shower. No towel for the floor.
I will be requesting my money back from Expedia for this visit for both rooms 207/208 ! No hot water in shower , only scolding hot water in the sink . The 3 rd floor is the party floor and the noise from above and in the hallways was horrible ! The staff was nice due to the horrible conditions . 95 perfect of the customers were 20 to 30 year old hippies which I don’t mind . There was no air conditioning in room so it was hot until approx 3 am and then cold after that !
