Zeer mooi hotel met authentieke elementen.
Lokatie midden in de koloniale zone.
Personeel was vriendelijk, met name de dame bij de receptie.
Ontbijt was ok.

Cons:

Naar mijn mening had het matras zijn beste tijd gehad. Jammer want voor de rest is dit een prima hotel.

Hidden gem in colonial zone!
Pros:

This is a gorgeous hotel, tucked in a side street three blocks from the main Plaza. I was traveling alone, and arrived later than expected. However, staff was waiting for me and had my room cooled. The architecture and historical signicance of this place blew me away; combined with the modern amenities and rooftop terrace. Each day they serve a continental breakfast and hot coffe- perfect to not weigh you down as you leave to explore. The price was great, room was more than big enough, and the indoor courtyard welcomed me each morning with tropical birds. I would stay here again in a heartbeat- lovely place and lovely staff.

Cons:

Late night snack options- ie, if they gave an option to purchase a few chips for your room. I forgot to pick some up (my fault) and didn't want to go back out. Otherwise, no complaints at all!!
