Ok stay, but wouldn’t book again
Pros:

- Central location right next to the main plaza
- great views from our room & breakfast room
- Spacious room

Cons:

- Pretty outdated, even had a large piece of wood hanging off the wall above the window. That didn’t seem safe (see photo)
- Old carpet and creaky floor
- tiny bathroom
- water takes forever to get warm
- No soundproofing whatsoever, so you hear noise inside and outside the hotel all through the night. Earplugs are a must
- Breakfast wasn’t great. Half the avocado we were served was black and tea water was lukewarm

Recommended, great room,location.
Pros:

Spacious room, clean, friendly staff, great location (honestly the best one directly next to plaza), beautiful colonial building

Cons:

I was confused with breakfast. I understood it is necessary to choose from menu - it was tasty, but not enough for us. Then we see that other people requested more things from this menu. So rather check.

Pros:

Letto molto comodo, posizione ottima

Cons:

Le finestre non hanno chiusure molto ermetiche quindi sì sentono tutti i rumori della strada ( piccolo prezzo da pagare visto la centralità della struttura)
