Gorgeous hotel, in the most incredible location. Comfortable beds and clean and quiet. The roof top terrace is very pretty for morning coffee. It’s just a 20 minute cab ride to the airport. Loved this hotel and will return!

Muy buena ubicación servicio y limpieza.

La atención de Juan y Miguel fue espectacular, nos dieron siempre una mano con cualquier duda. Las habitaciones tienen un estilo colonial acogedor, mejor si puedes solicitar una habitación con vista a la calle. La ubicación es muy buena y la higiene igual
