Hotel colonial muy bonito y personal amable
Pros:

La habitación en la que me hospedé era amplia, el baño grande y el armario inmenso. El aire acondicionado funcionó perfectamente. El alojamiento esta cerca del Museo de Jade, del Museo del Banco Central y del barrio chino. El personal es increíble. Siempre muy atentos y con buena actitud. Te van a ayudar en todo lo que necesites. Es gente muy amable. El desayuno está bien. La casa es muy bonita.

Cons:

Por el precio por noche que pagué esperaba tener una botella de agua de cortesía en la habitación o que no me limiten el número de jabones. Por ejemplo, me daban solo uno para el lavabo y la bañera. Las ventanas están mal aisladas por lo que se escucha el ruido de la calle. A la noche el barrio es un poco tenebroso. La piscina estaba sucia y no se limpiaba a diario.
