"We had a wonderful stay! Great location - so close to the main square. The staff were flexible when we needed to change some dates during our stay. They went above and beyond when our son was sick and we needed to stay an extra night. The breakfast buffet was outstanding. Great facilities. We enjoyed wonderful views from the roof deck! We highly recommend."

10/10 Excellent
"I enjoyed my stay at Casa Andina Premium very much. I arrived a little early, but they let me check in anyway, which was very appreciated after a long flight. The front desk staff were helpful and kind. My room was clean and quiet. Bed was very comfortable. Juan was exceptionally helpful, showing me on the hotel map how to get to various points of interest and making excellent recommendations for restaurants. He made sure that any of my questions or concerns were addressed promptly. The breakfast buffet was very nice, and the courtyard of the hotel was beautiful. I really was a wonderful stay."
