It's cosy and very nice to stay. You receive a warm welcome and is maintained throughout the stay. You are introduced to other guests by Pie and Sol religiously. read more

The rooms were a bit smaller than I had expected and the shower was quite small, but what can you expect from a 1940's design. The room also had a bit of a musty smell to it, but nothing that some air freshener didn't fix. The service was... read more

We went down for Comicon, a huge event and through research on the internet I found this gem of a place. The man up front (whom I think was the owner) was the sweetest and kindest man, even when we rolled in at 3 in the morning and woke him up. I... read more

The owner of the hotel remodel the interior recently. Most of the things (beding, A/C, curtain) are new. My stay at El Primero was very comfortable, and the breakfast they provide was very good. The owner (inn keeper) is very serious about the... read more
