Location good, amenities bad. Stay elsewhere.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Booking included deceptive photos that indicated an exterior balcony that the room didn’t have. The hotel was noisy due to the cafe downstairs until 11:30 pm. The towels were the worst I’ve ever seen in a hotel. The bathroom fan was so loud you’re better off doing your business in the dark.

Overall you’re paying good money for a bad hotel.

Yes the staff you interact with are friendly and the building nice but the downsides are such that I can’t recommend this hotel to my worst enemy.

Pros:

We love the location, especially close to Teatro Ricardo Castro. Cool and interesting old building. Is that city really over 450 years old?

Cons:

Would have preferred King bed. Want more info about the decorations with the little cups.

Would definitely stay here again
Pros:

The staff is super friendly and helpful, especially when I got lost due to the wrong address provided by booking.com! I had been driving 9 hours and was getting cranky but I was able to speak directly with someone (wish I could remember her name) who sent a pin and greeted me with a hug when I finally did arrive. The hotel itself is elegant with high ceilings, lush towels and comfy beds. It’s smack on the pedestrian walkway which runs for a number of blocks in either direction. Many, many restaurant choices. I liked Coreleone pizza and wallender’s ( the latter is not on the walkway).

Cons:

Breakfast was uninspiring with basically only two choices and one over worked cook/waiter. Because of the open air design I could easily hear noisy guests in the lobby, even though all rooms are on the second level.

Everyone in the staff was very kind and helpful. The property was very clean. You’re right in the middle of the city center so you’ve got museums, attractions, restaurants, and stores nearby all at walking distance. I highly recommend staying here.
