This place is a very cute boutique hotel with extremely friendly staff. The rooms are decorated by various artists which I love. The location is a perfect for the old part of town and walkable to so many cool places. My friends and wife chose this place to celebrate my birthday and my first baby’s gender reveal which was my birthday gift! The food of their Resturant was also very good. If you like local feel and authenticy please check this place out!!

My stay wasn’t four stars due to the lack of sleep, but I do not want to penalize the hotel for what was not hidden from me in the reviews. The hotel has a rooftop bar that was active until 2:30a Tuesday and Wednesday nights. They state that the room is 70% soundproof, though I suspect it to be less. I am a heavy sleeper and gambled that it would be quiet in the beginning of the week and because I have the ability to fall asleep with noise. Perhaps I may have been able to, but I suspect there is mold somewhere in the room. It wasn’t present to a point that I could smell it, but I am allergic tot mold and was unable to breathe through my nose when exposed to it. The staff were polite. The restaurant and property look nice. Has a nice rooftop bar. And, being in Casca Vieja, the location is great for the price. I recommend this to anyone in their 20s who would be enjoying the night life of Tantalo or other bars/clubs at later hours.

We enjoyed our 4 night stay in this hotel. There was a lot of noise but it didn’t bother us as much. The room was spacious, and the bed was comfy. The only complaint we have is that the food options and flavor are lacking in the menu

Very caring front desk staff=Nashda, Jose, and Caroline. Octopus is excellent in dining room. Very comfortable bed. Never met management team for a welcome drink. They, somehow, wish to have loud music until 2-4a.m. in top floor viewing area. They even pass out earplugs for this ill-advised decision.

Loved this hotel, spacious and large room, staff was incredibly helpful and pleasant and very accomodating. Super fun bar on rooftop with great views of city and restaurant in lobby. In the middle of old town with bars and restaurants, stores and cafes. It's not a quiet hotel so up to you if this is for you or not.
