Palacio Solecio, a Small Luxury Hotel of the World

8/10 Good
"All the staff are friendly, helpful and articulate—really excellent. The hotel is well located in the Old Town, and the building itself is impressive, particularly the central, full-height dining room with its beautiful lamps, discreet climate controls, exposed brickwork and marble features. The main disappointment for our stay was breakfast. The staff seemed overstretched, resulting in long delays with the coffee which on one occasion arrived at the very end of breakfast, and similarly with ordered cooked food. The room was good, although on the small side. It was quiet, and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was finished in marble and very well appointed. Sadly, the bedroom window was so high that it was impossible to see out without standing on something, which was a shame because there was a lovely view over the church opposite and the Old Town. The swimming pool was not really a pool; it was more of a splash facility. Even diagonally, it took only six or seven strokes to swim the distance. This was disappointing, although there was a nearby beach where we could swim instead so it was not a problem. A good stay, appreciated the location and the staff. The breakfast was good but required patience and the room was adequate to good (quiet and comfortable) but not overwhelming."

"Overall, I had a very pleasant stay. The location is excellent, the staff was friendly and welcoming at check-in, and the room was lovel, the bathtub, in particular, was fantastic. A quick tip for future guests: the AC controls are integrated directly into the bedside headboard, which can be tricky to spot at first. My only frustration came after checkout. At arrival, the staff mentioned I was receiving an upgrade. When I entered the room, there was a bottle of champagne on ice, which naturally seemed like part of that upgrade. However, a couple of days after checking out, an unexpected charge appeared on my card, which I assume was for the bottle. Be mindful of in-room items even if an upgrade is offered, but otherwise, it's a solid hotel."
