A cheap basic hotel in a good location.

The rooms were very basic not a bit like the one on the website. No bedside tables and nowhere to put things down as there was only one small table. There was only luke warm water to the sink and bath. When we arrived at reception we asked if the restaurant was open that evening and was told that it would be at 7.30pm. We arrived just after 8pm but there were no staff and we were told the bartender would be back in five minutes. 10 minutes later we found him but he said that there were no hot meals that evening and the restaurant was closed but he could make us a sandwich. Definitely Not 4 star.

For dinner I ordered soup and when it came the soup was cold. I had to ask them to heat up the soup, which also tells me the soup was not fresh. Then when the main course spaghetti arrived, it was cold too and that's when I decided that was enough so I spoke to the waiter and he said he wouldn't charge me for the spaghetti since I didn't eat it. This four star hotel is overrated because it should be a one star hotel. Second time of staying at the same hotel I now see the true colors of the staff. Every time I asked a question, the red hair receptionist (forget her name) was always playing /shuffling paperwork as if she was too busy to even print me a receipt upon check-out. Check first to see who the kitchen staff is before you order the food. If it's Ines (the short lady with long hair) do not order and go somewhere else. She's also not friendly and never smiles at us. There are two Ines' in dinning. We gave this hotel a good rating at first but after the second time of staying there, we chaned our minds especially after receiving the cold food. We were blown out of our minds that this could be happening at a four star hotel.

Whenever we needed new towels, the housekeeping staff would drop everything to accommodate us immediately. They would even shorten their lunch hour to meet our needs. The housekeeping employees work hard, they provide high quality care and services, they are dedicated to their job, and they go above and beyond 100 percent. Thank you to Dalila, Monica, Teresa, and Vera for their professionalism, warm greetings and big smiles everyday.

Pauvre

Vieil hôtel désuet aux immenses couloirs déserts qui fait penser au Overlook Hotel du film The Shinning... Chambre peu confortable : aucune prise électrique autour du lit, il a fallu débrancher le téléviseur au milieu de la chambre pour recharger nos cellulaires. Pas de savon, de shampoing, de papiers mouchoirs. Éclairage médiocre. Pas de consigne pour les bagages, on vous propose de les laisser à côté de la porte d'entrée... Service nonchalant.

Wonderful place - was an old convent then a military hospital. The building was constructed in the 1600's so it just radiates with character. We loved the worn marble stairs and the winding passage ways. It also has sitting areas throughout the hotel where you can sit and read or gather to talk or check emails. The staff is also extremely friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this place.

What a gorgeous hotel!!! It is in a several hundred years old monastery and there are signs of old wood and marble from the days of old. Each room held a monk and the ceilings are vaulted and wooden. So beautiful. Request room 301, open the windows and look straight down for a nice surprise!!!! This property was a five minute walk from all kinds of restaurants and shopping. Eat at Restaurante Luís Cobra one block away. You wont regret it!!

Perfect location to the center of town and easy to get to. Interesting history of the building. We were upgraded to a huge room with lots of antique furniture but still a bit sparse. Staff was excellent particularly Daniela. Bar was closed but breakfast was good. The pool was a nice way to spend a hot afternoon after visiting the city.
