We got rooms overlooking the river. The AC was not working and the rooms were incredibly hot. We also had issues with the hot water on the first night. The hotel was poorly maintained.

This property was in the perfect location right on the water. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. We were treated to a wonderful glass of port upon arrival and breakfast was delicious and served in their beautiful reception area that had a fantastic view of the river.

House Cleaning left our room completely open ( door full open). Although they apologized and said it was a new person cleaning it was very scary to walk into our room all the way open. Our room had our passports. - the water was cold ( no hot water) - Ac was not working

Great location in the center of places you need to visit. And very good simple and fancy restaurants just steps away. Perfect hospitality from all the staff. Public safe parking very close by. Views of the river are perfect. Love the historic and modern mix throughout the hotel.

This is a small hotel. Check in was quick and Chiago was very pleasant and helpful. The only downside was the noise. It was from the extreme wind and couldn’t be helped.
