Stayed for 3 nights in one of their larger rooms that was really nice with a King size bed and plenty of space to move around. The room, the bed , the bathroom was immaculately clean. The location is in the heart of the old town. Everything checked out for us and would highly recommend.

An older hotel, which I like. Rooms are small, common in older hotels. Beds are very comfortable, hot water is available at all times. Rooms in the back look into a private courtyard with a fountain, which helps one fall asleep. Very clean and well-maintained property with extremely helpful and friendly staff. The hotel is situated near the port, an abundance of restaurants, and cafes.

Well located in the old town. Although an old building, it is suitably upgraded within. Friendly staff. A little difficult to navigate to it's off-site parking site (use your Google Maps). The breakfast is very light, but there are great restaurants and grocery stores within easy walking distance.

Very nice older hotel which is pretty good value. Lots of restaurants in this historic area. The only concern is the level of noise at night - I would request a room that doesn't border the main street as "bums" frequent the street and yell all night long. The staff at this hotel are excellent - the room was small but very clean and the breakfast not worthwhile.

It’s in la cuidad vieja very close to the port where many cruise ships dock and many tourists in the area restaurants and bars very friendly people. Around the corner of the hotel is a very popular pedestrian walk way with shops and bars even at night its safe in this area police station on back corner street with many officers walking around. Hotel is simple with a/c and very friendly staff.

Nice hotel in a good location
Check in was great, room was ready early and the lovely receptionist allowed me to check in which was much needed after a long flight. Extremely friendly staff who gave advice when I needed it.
Good location near the food market and centre.
Room was smallish and slightly dates but perfect for the couple of nights I was there. Bathroom very clean with amenities provided.
Breakfast was mainly cereal, bread, cakes and fruit but easy to fill yourself up for the day with all on offer and lovely strong coffee.
