This is right in the center of Zona Colonial. The staff was friendly and accommodating. My favorite part is that the rooms have a bathroom with a door that closes (believe it or not this was an issue at another hotel, which was more modern). The only note I could give is that I ordered red wine once at the bar and they for some reason store red wine in the refrigerator. I think that's weird, but again - not the end of the world. Thank you for an amazing home away from home.

The hotel is beautiful and it is in a great location. The WiFi was very slow and due to the climate the room had a damp smell. The service was great until the very end, when the concierge tried to convince us not to take a bus to our next destination because it was too dangerous. The staff had also told us that there would be a taxi waiting outside the hotel all the time, but when we tried to leave there was no taxi available. The concierge spent 10 minutes telling us to take a private car, and when he finally called a taxi it took another 15 minutes to arrive, which made us miss our bus. A disappointing end to what was otherwise a lovely stay.

This is a very special property and definitely a unique experience. I highly recommend one of the classic rooms for the full colonial experience. The concierge and front desk staff are among the nicest and most helpful you’ll find anywhere (especially Felix!).
