Excellent emplacement, hôtel de charme
Pros:

Très bel établissement, boutique hotel à la décoration soignée située idéalement. Personnel très aimable notamment au petit déjeuner. Ce dernier était très bien. Nous avions la suite duplex qui est très très charmante. Petit bémol pour le bruit lié à l’extraction d’air du restaurant qui s’arrête entre 22h30 et 23h pour reprendre aux alentours de 12h.

Cons:

Nous avions sollicité l’hôtel pour le transfert à l’arrivée du ferry Isla Flamenco. Gros couac après plus de 40 mins d’attente nous avons pris un taxi par nos propres moyens : l’hôtel a formulé ses excuses et nous a offert un cocktail, geste appréciable.

Clean, cool, beautifully decorated room in the heart of Casco Viejo.
Pros:

Located in the heart of Casco Viejo, the hotel is charming and the room was very comfortable, although a bit small. The Wi-Fi was very fast and connected easily. The air conditioning and ceiling fan kept the room adequately cool and the large shower had marvelous pressure and plenty of hot water. The elevator was very handy for getting our large suitcase up to the room. The staff was very helpful and pleasant.

Perfect boutique hotel experience.
Pros:

The location in Casco Viejo is fantastic. Amarla offers beautiful décor, style, a warm atmosphere, and exceptionally friendly, helpful staff.

Cons:

Restaurant service was a little slow at times (30-minute wait for drinks to be served at dinner). Christmas Eve dinner was delicious and worth the wait.

The value of the Hotel doesn't represent the price.
Pros:

The location was really good.

Cons:

It is not a hotel, is a hostal inside a restaurant. Beds are not confortable, no TV in the room, not even free water. Breakfast was really poor. The value of the Hotel doesn't represent the price.

Bien.
Pros:

La ubicación y en general el lugar es muy bonito, impecable.

Cons:

Es mucho más pequeño de lo que se ve en las fotos y casi incómodo de lo estrecho de los espacios.
Para el desayuno pocas opciones y el servicio bastante malo.
