We stayed in a fairly simple room, but what makes this place wonderful is the staff. So friendly and helpful! Would absolutely return, and in fact we did after our flight was rained out!

The lobby is beautiful with old fresco. Everything is organized and well taken care of. The breakfast is good. The room itself was average but had all the amenities needed. The location is conveniently located in the old town close to most of the attractions. All the stores are shut down after 7 ...

Nice staff. Great location for dining choices and sightseeing. Air con never did work and problems with door keys working every time we left. Super annoying. This is NOT a 9 out of 10. 8 at best.
