10/10 Exceptional! (4 reviews)

The property was amazing and modern. Staff were helpful and pleasant. Their parking is in the hotel itself (unlike others in the area where it is a block away). Convenient. Clean. More of a short term apartment rental. Kitchenette. Located conveniently in the old city. There are the odd homeless people sleeping in nearby streets, but that is experienced throughout the old quarter. They do not bother anyone.

8.6/10 Excellent! (500 reviews)

Este hotel estuvo muy agradable el que, sin duda, recomendaría. Las instalaciones son sobresalientes, todo está impecable y es estéticamente muy agradable, con un diseño que invita al descanso y la admiración. El desayuno merece una mención especial por su variedad y calidad. Sin embargo, la única gran desventaja es la conexión an internet, que es muy lenta y poco confiable para los q nos hospedamos en los cuartos al fin del edificio.
