    Nothing - all good :)

    Hotel is beautifully decorated, rooms are spacious and comfortable. Excellent value for money. Only a short walk to the main square. As I couldn't eat the bread at breakfast (I require gluten free & they didn't have it) the chef made a special effort to make me a cheesy corn dish which was much appreciated.

    At this time, I do not have any complaints about this space!

    The staff was wonderful and helpful. They made the place feel like home. It was also great to have tours available to book, and our tour guide was exceptional!The space was always clean and it felt so great to have such a cozy place to come back to after our adventures of the days we spent in Ecuador. We also felt very safe with the key lock for the outside doors and doors to our room. I would definitely come back to this hotel.

    Some difficulties communicating with front desk. The night before very early morning departure we were asked to pay cash and told an electronic receipt would be sent. It was not received. On the way to airport we received a call saying we had not paid. That was cleared up quickly. I know I should have insisted on a paper receipt when handing over cash. Breakfast was just ok. Cold, old coffee. Walls are very thin.

    The place is as pretty as the pictures. A lovely space to be in. Beds were comfortable and the water was hot. Very limited street noise, very good location. Very good experience sorting out some issues prior to arrival. Thank you Tanya.

    A wonderful historic hotel, perfect for any traveler wanting to stay in the city center.

    Part of the glamour of the building is its heritage, but that comes with some minor inconveniences. Hot water isn't always as forthcoming. The interior of the building is lovely, but sound does carry and the floors do creak a bit when you walk around.

    Overall, this location was perfect for our needs. Easy walking to everything. The staff were fantastic. The interior of the hotel is also wonderful, especially considering that the building has heritage back to the 1500s. Breakfast was delicious, and the view from the top terrace is breathtaking.

    Breakfast could have more options, it is limited to various fruits, eggs and bread.

    The place is beautiful, it is just like the photos, spacious and clean, the staff is friendly. The location is very good in the historic center, very close to mini supermarkets, pharmacies, bakeries and just one block from La Ronda street, where there are tourist restaurants with typical food.

    We booked a room that was facing the main square so we did need ear plugs to sleep due to the traffic.

    Beautiful historic building in a central location in the Old Town (see picture). Staff very friendly. Lovely breakfast in a room on the roof terrace. Unlimited free filtered water. Very spacious room and bathroom with beautiful decor. Big comfy bed.

    We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful historic property. Location is great, within walking distance to most places within the historic center as well as many restaurants. Rooms were spacious and beds extremely comfortable. Breakfast was also great, and served on their terrace with a view of the Virgin statue. Staff were nice, and helped us to organize taxis when needed. WiFi was also really good. We would have happily stayed here longer, and would stay again!
