An older hotel, which I like. Rooms are small, common in older hotels. Beds are very comfortable, hot water is available at all times. Rooms in the back look into a private courtyard with a fountain, which helps one fall asleep. Very clean and well-maintained property with extremely helpful and friendly staff. The hotel is situated near the port, an abundance of restaurants, and cafes.

Nice hotel in a good location

Check in was great, room was ready early and the lovely receptionist allowed me to check in which was much needed after a long flight. Extremely friendly staff who gave advice when I needed it. Good location near the food market and centre. Room was smallish and slightly dates but perfect for the couple of nights I was there. Bathroom very clean with amenities provided. Breakfast was mainly cereal, bread, cakes and fruit but easy to fill yourself up for the day with all on offer and lovely strong coffee.

My husband's birthday was noted from his passport, and the kitchen staff (notably Amparo) surprised us at breakfast with an Uruguayan delicacy bearing a candle! "Happy Birthday" played. We feared the pedestrian street below our windows would be noisy, but only one night was loud. The sunlight in the room was amazing. We walked to everything: museums, galleries, monuments. Very centric! Many good restaurants nearby, and a supermarket across the street. No beach, but we're from Puerto Rico and we didn't come to swim in April.

The room was not that spacious. The overall experience was good. The breakfast was good and the staff friendly. Missing suggesting tour's flyers and printed suggestions brochures for one day excursions as well, should be inside the hotel. I had to find out myself about where to go, thing that I did by myself. The overall experience was good.

Well located in the old town. Although an old building, it is suitably upgraded within. Friendly staff. A little difficult to navigate to it's off-site parking site (use your Google Maps). The breakfast is very light, but there are great restaurants and grocery stores within easy walking distance.

Very nice older hotel which is pretty good value. Lots of restaurants in this historic area. The only concern is the level of noise at night - I would request a room that doesn't border the main street as "bums" frequent the street and yell all night long. The staff at this hotel are excellent - the room was small but very clean and the breakfast not worthwhile.

Clean, tranquil gem

Little gem in a crowded urban area. Secure scan entrance. Once inside, quiet, nice, clean and modern. All staff I dealt with were pleasant and upbeat. Room was clean and modern. Only thing to consider is that the bathroom is small and tight space. I’m 5’7”, so if you’re a bigger person, you might struggle with the space. Otherwise, great 3 night stay for me.

This is likely / literally my fault, but I didn't think to check that the hotel / reception would be open 24 hrs. When I showed up to the hotel at 2:30 AM from the airport after 2 terrible days of sleeping in airports, the hotel was closed. Luckily, the streets were clean, the homeless friendly, and there was a bench to sleep outside on the street around the corner. Verify the hours that reception is open! Maybe it's the bad American in me, but I just assumed hotels were open 24 hrs per day.
