Although we had a relatively small room (since most of the hotel comprises junior suites), it was still ample in size, and very quiet (as we requested). The furnishings were elegant and clean. There was only one English channel on the TV (Sky1 I think or perhaps Sky News); there was a nice range of toiletries in the bathroom. Pillows... more

We were offloaded to this hotel after having booked at the Maria Elena Palace which is located in a much more central area. We were told this was due to a problem with the water but I suspect it was due to overbooking. We were encouraged to accept this hotel on the basis that it was also a ten minute... more

I would like to comment on the customer service I received from this hotel even before I get to stay there. I called up the receptionist to check out the rates for a double bedroom but the tone of voice of the person who picked up the call wasn't very friendly nor enthusiastic at all. In the meantime, I did... more

They told me... more

I stayed at this hotel for a total of six days. The first several days I had a room facing the courtyard, and though it was darker, it was a little quieter than the second room I had. I had a king bed with a very firm mattress (I liked this), and the SMALL bathroom had a variety of shower... more

This is a nice decent hotel but unless you like walking a half hour to the center or taking a bus everywhere, choose a hotel closer to the center. We left after two nights for the High Tech Petit Palace de Plaza more

This is NOT, repeat NOT a 4 star hotel. My cousin (late 60's) and I (early 50's) both female, arrived from NY having booked almost two months in advance. Having recently had shoulder surgery, my arm was in a sling. Upon arrival no one came to assist with luggage, even the cabdriver commented. I went in to check in while... more

We arrived early Monday morning from an overnight flight from Boston USA. Our room was ready for us. We were given a twin room on fifth floor overlooking inner courtyard. It was a very dark room, somewhat cavelike. On first impression, the room was small, dark and very hot and stuffy. We tried to lower the temperature of the room,... more

While we waited (and waited) in the lobby to check in to this hotel, a purse and backpack were stolen from our belongings. Admittedly we had taken our eyes off of them, but we felt a false sense of security in the lobby with bellman around a sign that said they had video surveillance. The staff were uninpressed that two... more
