A lovely place. Staff at the front desk was welcoming and very helpful in answering questions about the city. Our room was clean and the bathroom felt like a little spa. Perfectly located minutes (by foot) from anything to do in Casco viejo. We really enjoyed our stay and would go back.

Lobby was warm and inviting. Our room was spotless. Shower pressure was great and air conditioner worked wonderfully. Front desk staff awesome… Alexandra is a gem. Aevar and Rommel were awesome and super helpful to us when we needed printouts etc. Only minor thing is the bed is a tad hard for our liking and the room could use and extra trash bin. Otherwise it’s a perfect place to stay in casco viejo

As far as the staff and the property, I got great service. I had a room off the street though, and I heard everything going on outside until 5 or 6am at times. Outside of the noise, I enjoyed myself.

From check in to check out the staff has been helpful and excellent. Room was cleaned and made up every day. All basic amenities you’d expect were there plus water bottles. Comfortable king bed with king pillows. Sunrise was early so black out drapes were appreciated. We were right in the center of Casco Veijo and had easy walks to every thing on the area tours. Nice place to stay
