I had a wonderful stay at El Convento. The hotel itself is absolutely gorgeous, with so much charm and character. The location couldn’t have been better—everything was within walking distance, and I felt very safe exploring the area. The staff was small but incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience feel even more personal. I highly recommend staying here to anyone visiting; it’s the perfect spot to enjoy both comfort and convenience.

Boutique hidden gem

Great boutique hotel with very tailored customer service. Everyone was very nice and the hotel was just the cutest. It used to be a convent, so it preserved a lot of the original structure, but with modern amenities. Had a lovely stay of 3 nights and it was just luxurious. Love the location as well. Highly recommended.
