Stones throw from St Stephen’s Plaza

There are some important things to know about this hotel. For better or for worse, it is located in a touristy mall area. It has lots of shops, but also lots of people crammed outside your hotel. You will NOT hear crowd noise from your room. The hotel boasts to house two high-class restaurants, that you will need to have formal attire to dine in. I got room service from one and was not impressed. They have a dessert/bakery bar downstairs. They make them for tourists. Honestly it makes it smelly—I never had the baked dessert. The hotel offers a driver to pick you up from the airport!! Do this! It is a long way. Past the mall area, you are a short walk from all major attractions. The Cathedral they advertise to be right outside the hotel... It’s hundreds of years old. The exterior is cool—but the inside is dank, and you could pass on this one..I would stay in the hotel again—but I was initially overwhelmed by crowds (which you get used to), cathedral has a dud interior—but you can walk to other attractions and restaurants 5-10 minutes tops, or right outside the door. I would recommend this hotel to others with caveats.
