The hotel is very nice and quiet, at least it was in May. The common areas evoke the colonial period that it is part of. Amenities are all up to date - wifi in each room and in the lobbies (free), comfortable beds, nice bathrooms/showers.

The location of this hotel can't be beat for its position near the end of the Conde, the street that has most of the shopping and cafes in the Colonial Zone. All of the common areas are beautifully designed to combine the old world elegance of the 16th century with upscale renovations. In order to save some money, we opted... More
