A nice stay

central courtyard rooftop terrace helpful staff convenient location

The building is beautiful, with a central courtyard and a rooftop terrace. There is a pool, a bar, and a restaurant available. Breakfasts were very good, and the staff was helpful. I found the location to be quite convenient.

The lighting was low, and some might find it a bit too dark inside the hotel. it added to the overall ambiance.

Service

Staff members like Cynthia provided really good assistance during breakfast, always present to ensure guests received exactly what they requested, and she even suggested a delicious Chocolatito. I appreciated this level of attentiveness.

mixed feelings about my stay

poor ventilation excessive noise

i encountered some issues . The room lacked proper ventilation causing a persistent unpleasant smell. i also found the noise levels excessive, with music starting early in the morning, and it lasted until late at night due to the restaurant being on the ground floor. this impacted my ability to rest comfortably.
