Reviews
Comfortable rooms, plentiful breakfast offering and friendly staff. Requested the room cleaning on day two and sadly towels weren't changed as hoped but didn't impact stay.
Perfect location and would happily stay here again and recommend!
But here’s the problem: I left behind a very expensive YSL, worth nearly $4,000, in the room when we departed at dawn for a flight. Not a hairbrush, not a phone charger, but a designer bag. In every respectable hotel I’ve stayed at, when something valuable is found, the guest is contacted immediately. I’ve had emails about forgotten hairdryers, but here? Silence.
No call. No email. No message. Nothing.
For days, I was convinced the bag had been stolen en route to the airport. I contacted drivers, retraced steps, and stressed endlessly—only to finally call the hotel and hear, oh-so-casually, “Yes, it’s here.” Really? You had my reservation, my name, my email, my phone number, and decided not to say a word? What was the plan—wait me out until the “holding period” passed?
I eventually arranged a courier to retrieve it, but the whole episode left a bitter aftertaste. Hospitality is supposed to inspire trust, not suspicion.
So, would I recommend this hotel? For cleanliness and sweet staff, yes. For safeguarding valuables? Absolutely not.

A side street hides off Calle Larissa hides this gem but you’d be remiss to pass it by in favor of the more prominent and overpriced restaurants on the Calle. This is a superb place to dine whether dinner or lunch.
