Will definitely stay here again
My second time staying here. Really like this property. Nice and quiet yet close to the beach and restaurants. Only two tiny pools, with no real sun, but you have the beach and Pacific right nearby. Room was nothing fancy but perfectly fine. Excellent housekeeping. Great value for the money.

The pool and hot tub are nice if a little dated. This quaint, historic property would be superb with a couple more finishing touches. The staff are responsive and go the extra mile to ensure comfort.

Main entrance gate locked and staffed at night (very secure). Will not return

On the plus side, the staff was wonderful, the location was great, and the price was right. On the minus side, the property is in need of serious renovation and major maintenance program. The facility is in serious disrepair.
There are only three English channels on the TV if your TV works at all. (We had a working TV for one night out of the five.) Some of the furniture and window panes were broken as well.
The is a small pool and a hot tub and both were clean. It's not the nicest or most modern facility in the area but the Romantic Zone is pretty expensive and you will find the price at Petit Hotel Pilitis hard to beat.

I stayed 2 weeks. It is very close to the beach! Walking distance to the Malecon. The room was large with a kitchenette. A microwave would have been a great addition but you can certainly survive without one. Bed was comfortable. There's also a small "balcony" off the bedroom. It would have been nice to have chairs.The pool isn't as large as it looks in the photos but was still great to use. Not at all that noisy. Staff are very helpful and friendly!

Small hotel, very spacious room, friendly staff. It is a well maintained and clean property, but it is very noisy at nights. It was a good fit for us looking to get involved in the live of the city,and to test the local food. There are plenty of restaurants around, it is 5 min walk to the beach.

Overall, a very nice stay. The pool was clean and there were plenty of amenities in the well-stocked kitchenette.
The staff were friendly & efficient. My only negative comment would be that there was no complimentary small bottles of water offered in the rooms. In a country where the tap water is largely undrinkable, the vast majority of hotels offer each guest one small bottle of water per day. It was missed in this hotel.
Otherwise, I’d stay again.

The room was spacious, comfortable, and functional. The bed mattress was a bit too firm, but it was manageable. The staff were friendly and helpful. It was much what I anticipated for the price. I would stay there again, in that same room.

My partner and I enjoyed our week-long stay at Petit Hotel Pilitas. The staff was very helpful and accommodating; we both felt welcomed. The cleaning staff was quick and efficient. Our suite was spacious and clean, and when we found the TV was not working, it was fixed the same day. Our bedroom room on the ground floor was relatively close to the street, so there was considerable traffic noise until early morning. The pool and jacuzzi were nice places to hang out with our friendly neighbors. The apartment was also within a block and a half of the beach, and there were numerous bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. I would recommend Hotel Pilitas and stay there again!

Great location close to the beach and other walkable destinations. Good places to eat, felt very safe and most people were very friendly in the area. Great staff at the hotel keep up with everything. Cute overlook of the beach on the rooftop. We loved the jacuzzi but didn’t try the pool while there. Adults only so the decor is explicit just so you know! Boutique vibe was great

Nice to have the kitchen in the room. Rooms were OK. Had a problem with A/C but the staff had maintenance repair within 24 hours - It was a bit prison like - you could have absolutely no guest to your room without paying additional - I was with a friend, who was staying at a different hotel, and he was not allowed to come to my room to get a band-aid (and this was in the middle of the day- not sure if this was about security or having no one else on property.
