Great location
We stay here because of the Great location, but the room is outdated, very small room and the bathroom was extremely tight. If you’re tall your knees would most likely touch the sink, we had to squeeze to shower. Shower needed a good scrub and very low pressure with the hot water. The hot water was actually warm. Since we like the location we most likely be back but will stay in a bigger room

A Stay in a historic monument
The Hotel is a historical monument, so don't expect modern facilities. The attendant clerk seems very busy, so you'll have to wait most of the times to be attended. The suite was nice, only a few cons, the room was 2 bed, but only one warm blanket. this is winter season, so expect cold. called the clerk to get another warm blanket, it never arrived. The rooms are old, so expect some minor issues. Still has its beauty. Recommended mostly for guests who don't expect a modern accomodation.

Nostalgic, beauty.
Hotel is outdated, poor lighting, but over all it takes back in time.
Miguel, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The whole hotel is always dark, the internet and telephone conection didn't work. I felt so unsafe I almost left the hotel the first night.The street where it is located is dirty, They put you a bracelet for "safety " for what? they don't even offer breakfst or anything. I will never go back there. Expedia should Not sponsor that ugly hotel
