Cleanliness
6.5
Multiple reviews call out poor maintenance and cleanliness (dirty AC filters, unclean/empty or closed pool, general need for upkeep in common areas and bathrooms).
Service
9.6
Repeated praise for staff: very friendly, cooperative, helpful reception and servers; several guests highlight welcoming, professional service.
Location
7.6
Centrally located in the old city (convenient) but noted as noisy, crowded and in one review 'desagradable' — mixed but generally acceptable for the historic setting.
Room Quality
9.6
Many guests praise beautiful, well-furnished traditional rooms and spacious bedrooms; some mention bathrooms needing renovation but overall rooms are highly appreciated.
Amenities
7.4
Amenities are mixed: pool (key selling point) suffers from closures, leaks or cleanliness issues; Wi‑Fi failure reported; parking and gardens noted positively.
Value for Money
8.8
Several comments mention reasonable food prices and good overall historic value; some items (beer, certain meals) seen as a little overpriced or underwhelming.
Food and Beverage
8.5
Breakfast and food receive generally positive mentions (good spreads, great food) but isolated negatives about scarce breakfast, a poor sandwich or evening meals being merely OK.
Overall Experience
10
Strong overall sentiment: guests value the historic charm, architecture and welcoming staff enough that many recommend returning despite maintenance/amenity issues.

Wonderful, only pool construction was not optimal
Pros:

It’s like a palace

Cons:

Pool construction with a lot of men. Would have loved to use the pool more but would have felt uncomfortable
Hair dryer would be great
