Awesome location and value!
Pros:

The staff was extremely welcoming and helpful. There was plenty of space in the room and the bathroom was decent size. The bed was comfortable, they had plenty of outlets for electronics and a small desk/chair to sit on. The location of the hotel was great! It was in a safe, walkable area right downtown within walking distance to many restaurants, shops, and tourist sites. The staff stored my luggage when I arrived early and helped organize some activities (they even suggested someone to do a massage who brought a portable massage table right to my room- very relaxing). The breakfast was also good, cooked fresh daily. (It was helpful to know Spanish, although I’m fairly certain they spoke some English). If you don’t want daily housekeeping you can let them know.

Cons:

Nothing really. Just know that because the hotel sits so close to town, you will have to ring a bell in order to be let in no matter what time of day it is. (They usually answer the door and buzz you in fairly quickly). Also I think it’s helpful to know that if you have problems with stairs/ mobility, this hotel does not have an elevator- just a spiral staircase to rooms above garden level and another set of strait stairs for rooms on the 3rd floor. Breakfast was good, but it was also the same every day (eggs, a “pancake”, toast, fresh fruit, coffee and juice) - it would be nice if they offered a few different options (like yogurt and other types of breads/fruit) just for the sake of variety. In the bathroom, they have very small bars of soap and a shampoo “packet” - it gets the job done, but nothing overly fancy. One thing that I found somewhat difficult was the hot water in the shower. It took a few minutes for the water to warm up to lukewarm. However, one day I was showering with hot water and the water turned extremely hot (scalding) and I couldn’t get it to a reasonable temperature no matter what I tried…so regulating the water temperature was definitely tricky.

Small room, but great stay.
Pros:

Great staff, location couldn't be better either. Clean room.

Cons:

Room was quite small, there wasn't much room to put anything. They should definitely put up some extra hooks or a hanging shelf with this little space. We did book the smallest room, but it looked bigger on the pictures.

Beautiful hotel, very central
Pros:

The hotel is a beautiful old building with lots of natural light in a great location, very central and within easy walking distance of everything. Our room was quite small but very cozy, so fine for a night or two. We also really appreciated being able to check in early in the morning after arriving on an overnight bus from Peru. We thought that the value for money was quite good, including a small breakfast (coffee, juice, fruit, scambled egg, pancake, toast, jam) as well.

Cons:

The room we had was very small - might not be for everyone. As other reviews have mentioned, there was also a bit of a pipe smell in the bathroom. Some guests were quite loud late into the evening and kept leaving the light on outside the rooms, which has to be switched off from the hallway on the second floor. Not the hotel's fault, but perhaps they could remind guests to be a bit more considerate.

Ótima localização
Pros:

Localização é ótima, café da manhã bem gostoso, a arquitetura interna é linda.

Cons:

Não tem evelador, e não tem maleteiros para subir as malas, só são 3 pisos mas se tiver mala pesada você precisa subir e descer no check out. Quarto mais simples não tem muito penduradores no banheiro, nenhum no quarto, e não tem espelho no quarto, só no banheiro.

Lovely spot
Pros:

Stellar location, good breakfast, room was lovely and quiet at night despite the location. The two sets of doors leading onto the balcony is a good touch to keep noise to a minimum from the street

Cons:

The staff seemed to get the breakfast area ready at 11pm or so and make a lot of noise doing it and despite the sound proofing from the road, you can easily hear what's going on in the main lobby. Not the worst thing but is easily avoided if it's prepared at an earlier time.
