"Location is perfect to explore the Walled City and Getsemaní. Only a 5 min walk to the harbor where dive boats pick up. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. The room with balcony was clean, comfortable and decorated super cute. Upon returning to the room after a long day, you can turn on the AC, it has a 'turbo' option and the room is comfortable almost immediately. I traveled solo but it would comfortably fit 2 people. Bathroom was very clean and there is hot water...

"We had an amazing stay! The hotel was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Santiago was absolutely wonderful and made us feel very welcome. The young lady assisting with the breakfast service was also amazing and provided such friendly, helpful service. We took full advantage of the breakfast and pool, and both were great. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and honestly wish we could pick this hotel up and move it around with us whenever we travel so it would always be available!...
