The hotel offers a prime location within walking distance to major attractions in San Cristobal. Despite the rooms being smaller than expected for a 'suite' and showing some signs of age, the overall experience is charming and traditional. The high price may not fully match the room quality.

The rooms, although a bit smaller than what we anticipated for a 'suite,' still exude an old-school charm. The price may be on the higher side for the room condition.

I stayed at the hotel and found it to be in a convenient location near the main square of San Cristobal, which was great. The room itself was a bit musty and made me feel like I was in a stuffy environment, but the service was attentive and friendly. The dining options were a bit limited, but the facilities were well-maintained.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was superb, being near the main square of San Cristobal and within walking distance to the city center. The colonial-style ambiance added a charming touch to my experience. However, the noise from the nearby salsa bar was a bit disruptive at night. The rooms, considered a 'suite,' had a small second floor inside, but unfortunately, there was a moldy smell present. On the bright side, the staff kindly allowed me to leave my rucksack when I arrived early in the morning.

The hotel's location is perfect for exploring San Cristobal. It's close to the main square and ideal for strolling through the charming 'andadores. ' However, the proximity to a loud salsa bar was a downside.

The dining experience was subpar, with a limited choice of scrambled eggs, sweet pancakes, and toast every day. The waiters seemed unenthusiastic. It was nothing special.

The facilities were basic and functional, but nothing outstanding. It met the essential needs but lacked any exceptional features.
