Disliked: Cleanliness
The front staff where very friendly and helpful. Make sure you ask for your car well before your ready to leave it takes about a half hour to get your car..I had room 308 on the penthouse floor it was goo, except for what appeared to be black mold on the cieling all along the one side. The shower floor was not to clean and the drain is plugged. The view on the ph floor is great facing the cathedral. All and all it is a decent stay. Beds and pillows are harder than I like. Location is a 10 however.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great location (Centro) well, it is the oldest hotel in the city and built in 1600’s. Hard beds, bad Wi-Fi, remotes for TV & Air 2 ft from the wall😛 No heating, lots of noise in the evening. Till 10 or 11pm No early siestas 😝 2 of the 3 nights events in the lobby. No refrigerator. For takeouts. But inexpensive. (Under$50) Just my point of view Platinum member (Expedia)
