Perfect Location in a Unique Old Mansion
Hotel with great location directly on the plaza with great rooftop terrace providing fantastic view of Teatro Amazonas. Hotel has 'collectables' everywhere including rooms, so it's a bit like visiting a grandmother's house with a mix of art, old cameras, books, relics, santos, furniture etc. from many decades.
Some would call it like sleeping in an antique shop... others would be fascinated and call it 'eclectic'. If you want sleek and modern, this is not for you... if you like the idea of staying in a 'curiosity shop' - this is perfect.
Rooms have been carved out of an old mansion, so bathrooms can be quirky but functioning. Walls can be thin - not a problem except on Saturday night when hotel is full with pre-tour groups that leave early.
Rooms facing plaza are fantastic for view, but you also hear everything from the street plus your neighbor - not a problem for us except Saturday night with the parting in the plaza and noisy neighbors.
Be forewarned of rooms 17, 18, 19 which have glass walls - and you know what they say about living in glass houses!!! (your neighbors will hear).
Bed was firm but excellent for my back.
Breakfast OK - with something for everyone, but nothing special - coffee was hot and good.
Few wall outlets as expected in an older building.
Wifi was sporadic with many times needing to reconnect or move to other network on another floor of the hotel.
Despite this - the staff is really wonderful and the location perfect... so would stay here again.
