The hotel policy doesn’t allow you to bring any friend to visit you at the hotel after 10pm
Pros:

Before you chose the hotel you need to know that this Hotel policy doesn’t allow you to bring any friends to visit you after 10pm and even before 10pm just allow the visitants in common areas , if you are planning to have a beer in your room with them you have to pay extra. The hotel is nice ,old fashion ,well maintained. The food in the restaurant is delicious, the service is excellent. The pool is good with a nice view. Samir and Marlons in the restaurant make you feel at home. Luis and Rembert in the reception are exceptional people. The security guy Rafael has to learn how to properly approach customers in a good way with respect

Majestic, charming boutique hotel that is in a great location in Getsemani. The people are very friendly and it has a pool looking over San Felipe and the marina. My room needs some repairs - e.g the shower but overall I really like this place

Pros:

The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the unobstructed view from the rooftop was fantastic. We really appreciated the option to take a to-go box from the breakfast buffet for our early airport departure—such a thoughtful touch. Overall, it was an excellent stay! Our only complaint was that the burger we had for lunch was just average. We'd definitely stay here again but would likely choose a different place to eat.

Charming, Beautiful Boutique Hotel
Pros:

Beautiful Boutique Hotel with a lot of charm, ambiance, excellent service, quality food and fabulous location over the water, bridge and Historic Castillo de San Felipe in Getsemani. Nice, relaxing pool on the 3rd floor. Minutes walk to several restaurants, salsa clubs, the famous Walled City and ferry terminal for boat day trips!

Great hotel with rooftop pool and fabulous breakfasts
Pros:

Really nice hotel with huge rooms in a Riad or courtyard style. The rooftop pool and bar offer relief from the heat of the city.
The staff was accessible and always smiling.
Best of all was the breakfasts. They offered many kinds of local fruits that were awesome.
