Excellent location. Lots of things to do around. Was a little disappointed as there was a lot of noise at night (until 3am) from a nightclub across the street, but that isn't the hotel's fault. Not sure if this happens all the time. The second night was better than the first night of our visit, but was still a bit noisy.

Lovely boutique hotel. Decor is so fun! Very comfortable beds. Spacious room. Located on a loud street so you’ll likely utilize the disposable earplugs they provide :) Excellent stay.

The property is well renovated and the lobby is fantastic. The noise coming from the club next to the hotel is very loud until 4 in the morning ( I stayed a Saturday). Too bad because the hotel is in the center of the touristic sector and well kept.
