old-world charm

fine staircase

Historic charm for architecture lovers

I loved the atmosphere, it had that old-world charm. The grand staircase was a fine reminder of how things used to be.

It wasn't exactly wallet-friendly but it was still acceptable for the experience.

Needs improvement

5.6

The room was brand-new and extremely pleasant with private bathroom and MAGNIFICENT views. Location: the hotel was just off most bus stations, Mayan co-ops, and cheap food and the outlying areas. The place was next door to Amaro, where you can have dinner.

Facilities were modern, yet Wi-Fi signal was not good.

Charming Stay with Great Staff

Enjoyed two nights in a cozy double room. The staff were friendly and even provided mosquito spray when needed. Local dining options offered delicious variety just footsteps away. Embrace the old-world charm, but be prepared for some quirks in room amenities. Great spot for couples.

Staying here was a good experience, especially with the stunning architecture and vintage decor that felt like a step back in time. The location is perfect, with easy access to restaurants and attractions just a short walk away. I loved enjoying ice cream and coffee at the charming shops nearby.

Request a room away from the street for quieter sleep. Earplugs can also help manage noise levels.

old-world charm

fine staircase

lovely garden

limited outlets

I loved the elegant old-world charm with the fine marble staircase and the beautiful courtyard that seemed like stepping back in time. It was relaxing to unwind in the sun terrace and take a stroll around the lovely garden area. The only downside was the limited electrical outlets in the room for charging devices, but overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay 🌸
