We had a fantastic stay here. The rooms are well-equipped and very comfortable. The staff is very friendly and they genuinely care about your experience. The decor and ambiance fit the town perfectly and the location could not have been better. You can walk everywhere, and there are plenty of restaurant options nearby. Highly recommended and will definitely be back here.

This is a wonderful hotel. I booked the best room which is an addition to the (100 years or so) old hotel and has a huge terrace with a view of the mountains, sunset and a church, sunny all day. I am sure the smaller rooms are also wonderful (and very affordable) but I have not seen them. There is a tropical garden in the middle, very beautiful.

This hotel is located one block from one of the main “andadores” roads of the city and less than two blocks from the main plaza. Everything is close within walking distance. The area is very safe. The hotel has a lot of history and is unique. It’s architecture is very beautiful. The only thing we didn't like is that it is not quiet, one of the two nights we stayed, the other guests were very noisy.
