Wasn’t worth the price or the hype.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Room was extremely small, pictures were definitely deceiving. The elevators and hallways were hot, seems like the air may have been out. The sink in the bathroom had a leak so the floor flood late at night.

Pros:

Edificio histórico

Cons:

Habitación muy pequeña no se podía abrir la maleta sin ponerlo encima de la cama - el baño muy pequeño.
Solo hay limpieza cada 3 noches!!!
La cafetera no funcionaba y eso que avisé dos veces. En booking ponía desayuno bueno: no hay desayuno en el hotel!

Pros:

Great location. It had the feel of an old fashioned hotel yet had modern amenities. The rooftop lounge was great. Would definitely stay there again.

Cons:

My girlfriend was very gassy and I couldn't open the windows to get some fresh air.
I broke up with her.
