Wonderful hotel. Beautiful old building. Centrally located for the old town. Staff are really friendly. Rooms are well appointed and clean. The altitude gets you on the walk up the stairs but you get acclimatised quickly! The dining room has the best views in the city. And the breakfasts are really delicious. And the chef is fantastic at altering the offering for any dietary. Highly recommend
