Amazing Location
Had a little difficulty finding the main entrance. Room was perfect, facing the river. Super quiet. Little weird having the glass shower in the room but we got over it pretty quickly. The staff were exceptional. Aircon had a few issues, but got it working after a few attempts. The breakfast is fantastic, all the pastries were amazing. Lots of choices.

This location is wonderful and the staff was excellent. The property is so small that it lacks some amenities but it’s a trade off to the location and the special feel of the hotel.

Great central location. Super helpful and friendly staff. River view Rooms have wonderful views and renovated ancient rock walls! One downside is the AC needs some work!

A very beautiful place to stay with an amazing view! We stayed on a Friday-Saturday and it was a bit noisy being in such a popular nightlife area, but worth it.

Check in was simple. We requested that the hotel arrange transportation from the airport. That went off without a hitch. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable about the area, spoke English, and provided a beautiful breakfast spread. The bed was comfortable. The room had a spectacular view of the river. The common space in the hotel has an amazing view of the river. You can walk along the waterfront which is right outside the door of the hotel. The area felt very safe. I would highly recommend this property.

We loved this property and the location. The breakfast were wonderful and the staff was very lovely. My only comment was that in one of the rooms we stayed in the bed was hard as a rock and it was very difficult to get through the night comfortably

Absolutely fabulous and charming location in the historic river front area. Breakfast was fantastic and the hotel front desk, especially Luis, went out of his way to give suggestions, lend a hand, share maps, and engage in wonderful conversation!
