Very unique hotel. Loved the decor. Room was lovely but would have liked a wardrobe to put suitcases away. Bed was very comfortable but found it hard to sleep due to the noise from the road outside and the construction noise. Location was perfect only a short walk to gran via and Callao metro stop.

This property was very unique indeed! It is like stepping into the Casablanca movie. It's Ralph Lauren meets safari, meets Caribbean island. The rooms are cozy, and if you don't want noise, don't reserve anything in the front with views. They even have room service that you'll want to eat in the fabulous lobby, because they have a bar and dining tables as well. The bed was comfy, there was a bath tub in my room! The customer service is excellent! I would definitely come back!

The hotel lobby is unattractive and dingy. There was no railing for the entrance set of steps and the entrance with a ramp was closed and only accessible when leaving. The parking fee is extortionate and really tight with a small SUV. There is a cheaper parking on the left side before the hotel.

They have turned a 2 story building into a 3 story hotel by converting the parking to the hotel lobby not in a professional way. The worst part was the ceiling of the lobby which was poorly covered by canopies. That aside, I can not rate customer service because there is NO customer service! When calling the front desk, there is no one to answer, I had to go down to lobby to find some one, and there was no body of the hotel staff there!
