10/10 Excellent
"This boutique hotel was incredibly beautiful turn-of-the-century it was located in a very great part of town. There’s so much to do around the hotel restaurants bars, nightlife so if you want somewhere quiet, this is not the place. This is if you wanna experience good food bar nightlife. This is the spot. It’s great. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful and we heard a nice part of history from one of the concierge. Loved our stay wish we could’ve stayed another night. it’s a few minutes away from the Roma Norte, the angel monument, which was beautiful. We really enjoyed the room with AC of you onto the city and we felt very safe in this neighborhood loved loved our hotel the oldest one in town."
