About

Hotel Danibaan

“I had a wonderful three-night stay. The rooms were massive, the bed was so comfy I slept like a child, and the staff were both helpful and friendly. It's close to a shopping center, a Santander branch, the zocalo, and the city center. I also enjoyed tea and treats at Café Boca del Monte, just under a mile away.”
