The staff could not have done more for us. From the very beginning they were communicative friendly welcoming and when we arrived they were so warm. It was our honeymoon and they’d put some flowers in the room which was such a nice touch. The location is great, the room lovely (albeit not quite soundproof so bring earplugs!!!) we really loved our stay here thank you

Beautiful hotel with lovely rooms. Amazing beds and rooms. Great housekeeping and staff. It is at the end of a road that is a bit unsafe at night since police don’t patrol that area so taxi is best (and very cheap) - during the day it’s fine.

Awesome hotel Mama Cuchara!

Excellent service! They run out to get your luggage, explain the amenities at the hotel, and show you to your room and the room’s features. Very clean! Very reasonably priced which included a bouquet of flowers, lots of snacks, a bottle of water, and a bottle of wine in our room. Hotel restaurant is almost as good as some expensive restaurants in large USA cities, but reasonably priced. The food and drink choices were plentiful and delicious.

Excellent hotel. Staff is tremendously helpful - helped counsel us on things to do and transportation and were actively looking out for us. The rooms were wonderful for our family. The interior courtyard was inviting and the rooftop restaurant was delicious. All staff were so warm and welcoming and Dennis in particular was wonderful when we ate at the restaurant. Lunch was delicious - breakfast is fine but not as differentiating as the rest of the experience. We could hear a woman’s choir singing when we left the hotel in the morning. Would love to come back.

This hotel and its staff are truly amazing. My wife and I felt safe and very well taken care of. There was no limit to what the staff would do to comfort us and take care of our needs. Rooms are spotless and very comfortable, there is a doorman there constantly as well as on the front desk. The breakfast was and included with the room, their cappuccino and orange juice was also very good and the orange juice is freshly squeezed. They have trips they can call and organize for you if you ask at the front desk. They have an amazing bar, and view of the city on the roof top. Great restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and stays open late. They even surprised us with champagne and chocolate covered strawberries for a birthday and we didn't ask for this but they just did it and it made our evening. Their decorations and ambient is also so well thought of as well as their flowers and plants. They have professional ladies they call to come to the hotel and give you a massage in a massage room (must pay separately and make and appointment for this). We will definitely be looking forward to staying here again.
