A charming hotel set in an old colonial building. The room was lovely, spacious and with everything needed for a pleasant stay. Breakfast choice was limited but the food was very good as was the food served up in the evening. The hotel is in a central location so easy to walk to the central squares and pedestrianised streets. The town is ata altitude so can be cold at night but the room was at a pleasant temperature. It was a bit cold in the courtyard in the evening but was atmospheric. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Hotel is centrally located and beautifully decorated lobby area with fire pits at night near the restaurant making a lovely setting for dinner. Staff was extremely attentive. There are many rooms, lots of hallways and stairs so not the best for someone physically challenged. Rooms were large, interior window so rooms were on the dark side in spite of several lights in room. AC worked fantastic. Nice, clean bathroom, good shower power with good warm water. Safe in room. Everything here was great except for the breakfast buffet. Very limited offerings and I thought it strange they offered spaghetti and sauce for breakfast. Many other restaurants close by that have fabulous breakfast. Would stay here again and do recommend. Perfect location.

“Rustic boutique-style hotel”

I liked it, but my partner didn't. It was boutique-style hotel surrounding in internal paved garden courtyard (which was lovely). The room was along a corridor and felt a bit like a monk's cell. No external windows just a wooden shutter opening to the corridor. Room and bathroom felt a bit compact … more

I liked it, but my partner didn't. It was boutique-style hotel surrounding in internal paved garden courtyard (which was lovely). The room was along a corridor and felt a bit like a monk's cell. No external windows just a wooden shutter opening to the corridor. Room and bathroom felt a bit compact and dingy. Noise insulation was minimal. Wouldn't fancy it if a stag party was in the premises. But as I said I quite liked it. The restaurant and bar both spilled attractive seats and tables into the courtyard with impressive standalone open fires adding colour. The buffet was limited but hot egg dishes were cooked to order and delivered to your table. Hotel location was pretty good, two minutes walk from the main square. Added note for history, noted author Graham Greene was a previous resident and has a wall note commemorating the fact among other famous ex-residents. Our Man in Mexico.

“Good quality hotel but noisy”

First impressions - nice hotel, old sprawling villa/mansion converted into a hotel, entrance leads you past a reception into a central courtyard with trees and plants. Stylish room but - our room was located on the ground floor just off the internal courtyard and windows facing the street with lots of pedestrians seeing right into your room. The street is quite busy with traffic long into the night and starting early in the morning. Unfortunately, we were copping it from both sides as the corridors are tiled as is the courtyard - we heard every single person coming in way past midnight and then groups of people departing very early in the morning. We asked to change the room but were told that they are full. At the end we just hated the hotel due to the fact that we slept about 3 hours both nights we were there. The positives - hotel is stylish, well looked after, excellent location.
