The property had some wonderful old world charm in its style and decor, including a piano player in the open air lobby. The property is located in a good area to walk the many stores, restaurants/coffee houses, and places of history. We also had very nice massages done while we were there (which were part of our VIP experience) which was very pleasant.

Although the staff at reception was a little not accommodating based on the amenities I had to get from my membership this was resolved. Overall very comfortable stay and will stay again. The taxi guys at the entrance were a bit to over bearing though.

We loved our stay here at this beautiful property. The on site dining was pretty expensive, but ok if you are just staying one night. It's easier to walk and find more affordable food than eating at the hotel.

Our room was #201 a Junior Suite. Was a great room overlooking the square but.....There was no WIFI, the Jacuzzi Tub did not work and the Roof Top Bar across went Crazy until 5:00am on Saturday - did not sleep. Sunday night it closed at 12:00pm. Would stay again but never on the side facing the square. The pool is fantastic with a beautiful view.

This property was beautiful. The rooms were very nice and clean. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The location is amazing. We had a great view of the church. There’s so much to walk around and see. The downside is it can be very loud because of the location. The church bells go off and you can hear that. I think due to the age of the building you can hear the rooms next door. They were unable to accommodate a late check out (which is understandable) but a little annoying if you have a later flight. The late check out fee if they could accommodate was more then half of what I paid for a night. I thought that was a bit much. Overall a very nice property.

The building is gorgeous. The area is a great historic area, lots of great shops and restaurants. The staff was very hit or miss, either friendly and great or uninterested in being helpful or nice. Initially, I was on the first floor facing the interior and it was rather loud. The very wonderful front desk guy was fantastic and quickly moved me to a room on the 3rd floor which was a million times better. That guy deserves a huge raise for being friendly, kind and efficient. The pool was lovely.
