"Excellent staff and service"

Soho Boutique Palacio de Pombo

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel. We had a corner room with three balconies which was lovely. Room was very large and comfortable. Staff were amazing. Only niggle was the breakfast - could get a better breakfast just across the road at the corner bar for a third of the price. But I would definitely stay at this hotel again. "
