The hotel is beautiful -classic architecture. Fantastic location. The staff are friendly and helpful. The room, although small, was well appointed. I especially enjoyed the rooftop pool. The water was a perfect temperature despite the oppressive heat and humidity. The vistas from the pool are spectacular.

Conveniently located, near restaurants, museums, parks, and coffee shops. Our room and the rest of the hotel was very clean. The cleaning staff did a great job tidying our room day-to-day. The bed was really comfortable. Great view from the pool.

Beautiful hotel and excellent location!! The breakfast was yummy and varied, i appreciated the free drinks vouchers at check in too. Our king room was gorgeous, nicer than expected and it was huge!! It had 2 beautiful arched windows with a juliet balcony to overlook the streets below, we were on the 2nd floor and heard mininal noise. Lobby is quiet grand, would definitely stay here again!!

The breakfast was very good, I looked forward to it every day. The staff was very friendly and helpful in every way. Dinner at the hotel's restaurant was very good. The location was great, right in the middle of Casco Viejo. I'd go back.

First, upon arrival, there was a conference in the lobby. therefore it was very noisy and no lobby services. Second, we booked a Junior Suite which said to include a sofa and landmark views. There was no sofa and NO WINDOW. Above all, the attitude of the manager was appalling!! I had to cancel and they charged me for 2 nights.
NOTHING!!! DON'T GO TO THIS HOTEL!!!

I opened a bottle of water (provided by the hotel) and it contained some kind of cleaning agent. I reported this to the front desk. I purchased water outside of the hotel after the incident. There was a wedding in our hotel and the noise in the room was excessive. I called to ask if they could reduce the noise at 1 AM. Finally at 3 AM, the noise subsided. I had a 7 AM wake up call. So I did not get a good rest.
The hotel is beautiful -classic architecture. Fantastic location. The staff are friendly and helpful. The room, although small, was well appointed. I especially enjoyed the rooftop pool. The water was a perfect temperature despite the oppressive heat and humidity. The vistas from the pool are spectacular.
