9.8/10 Exceptional! (2,107 reviews)
Loved the old world feel with the modern conveniences. Also loved the location as it was within a 15-20 minute walk of everything we wanted to visit. The only thing I did not like was the breakfast. We only ate there once as the good choices were not good and the good overall was not very tasty. But, since we wanted a full vacation we continence, there were other food places we wanted to try, and the location had numerous restaurants we could choose from, so the hotel restaurant was not a big factor in my rating. I would definitely choose to stay at Hotel Atlantico again.
