Categories

Cleanliness
9.3
Consistently praised across reviews: rooms and suites described as very clean, good aroma, spacious and comfortable beds; no major cleanliness complaints reported.
Service
8.7
Mostly positive comments about helpful, professional and friendly staff (several shoutouts, assistance with early check-in/late check-out), but service perception is weakened by a serious reservation/cancellation and communication issue and a few notes about staff training/communication.
Location
9.4
Frequently highlighted as excellent and convenient (close to the Basilica and local dining), multiple guests explicitly praise location; occasional street noise reported but some rooms avoid it (interior views).
Room Quality
9.1
Rooms noted as comfortable, spacious with good bathrooms and comfortable beds; minor requests such as more towels appeared but overall room quality is strong.
Amenities
8
Breakfast buffet is often praised and basic services are good, but amenities are limited in places (no bar, limited reception seating) and lack of on-site parking is a recurring negative.
Value for Money
9.3
Multiple guests explicitly mention excellent quality-price and good cost-benefit; price, clean rooms and breakfasts are seen as good value overall (though parking fees reduce perceived value for some).
Food and Beverage
7
Mixed feedback: breakfasts receive strong positive comments, but several serious complaints about the restaurant (poor taste, cold food, spoiled burger, refund/handling issues) make F&B inconsistent.
Overall Experience
8.8
Majority of stays described as pleasant or excellent with clean rooms, good location and helpful staff; however, an isolated but serious reservation cancellation/double-charge incident and multiple restaurant complaints temper the overall score.

Awful experience. They cancelled my reservation. I don’t recommend it
Pros:

The beds were good

Cons:

The communication with booking is awful. They cancelled my reservation and made me pay double for the same amount of days. I tried to reach by message as my phone couldn’t make international calls, and nobody reached me out.

The rooms were spacious and very clean
Pros:

The property was very clean. I like the fact that I could exchange my American money for pesos there. Also, it was convenient to the Basilica.

Cons:

The food in the restaurant downstairs is horrible. We had dinner there and it had no flavor. The food was cold that is independently owned though.
