“Great location and realy good vibe”
Loved the colonial aspects of the property. Really traditional and full of interesting artefacts. Very large room; extremely comfortable bed. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Great breakfast. Brilliant location for exploring the historic centre. Literally 2 minutes walk to a long row of restaurants and bars; all serving good food at great prices. Eclectic assortment of people on the square outside ranging from the army with tanks on one day to beggars and prostitutes on another. Don't let that put you off - it's all part of exploring and understanding South America. Loved our stay - so much better than the sterile atmosphere of a Hilton in the suburbs.

“A stunning and well-located hotel, but a misleading room description and lack of a window seriously affected our stay.”
The hotel is truly beautiful and very atmospheric, with charming interiors and a great location close to the historic center. Everything was clean, the staff was polite and helpful, and the breakfast was good.
