The location is outstanding..The design and esthetics superb.

Rolando Israel

most beautiful rooftop in the heart of the city. very friendly staff. large rooms and bathroom

Maria United States of America

Three things stand out for me: the central location; the friendly, helpful staff; and the spectacular views from the rooftop restaurant, where breakfast is served. The English speaking staff arranged pickup from the train station, found a lab to get our Covid tests, and answered myriad questions. They helped make our visit to this special city even more so.

Linda United States of America

The hotel was very well located, and the room well equipped. The views from the rooftop bar especially at sunset were stunning and very special. Very friendly and helpful staff at the reception and bar.

Zee65 Singapore

location, decoration, attention to detail, great breakfast

Fernanda United States of America

Excellent location, super friendly and helpful staff.

Gary United States of America

The hotel provided blankets when it got cold on the rooftop, where enjoying the view of the plaza at night is awesome. The staff also provided us with boxed breakfast in the morning because we had to leave the town before breakfast dining opened.

Eduardo United States of America

The staff, especially Estefany Romero Montoya at the front desk were all examples of how to give outstanding service. We felt so comfortable. The pictures we took of the rooftop bar and garden were a beautiful memory of our trip.

Rita United States of America

We arrived on an overnight bus and were able to check in early and they stored our luggage. Breakfast was on the roof top and off the menu and delicious. The staff were great at giving us a map and directions. Awesome customer service

Jan United States of America

Everything was very good, location, staff, the room which included a rub, sleepers, and a pot to boil water.
