    Not a single thing.

    This hotel was absolutely beautiful! It is a restored colonial mansion from the 1700's, but completely modernized without sacrificing any of the charm. It has multiple beautiful courtyards and is very convenient to the main square of the city. The staff is wonderfully attentive, the breakfast is great. And finally WHAT a great value for the money!

    Rarely does one get to actually stay inside a property that is designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. This hotel is historic and has that designation. It was just lovely place to be.

    Rooms were dark and sombre, but not much they can do about that given that they were built that way, and are original and ancient.

    Quite beautiful building and patios. Comfortable, room and very spacious. Very friendly service. Well located in a lovely city.

    We liked everything.

    We spent 4 nights in this hotel and had a fabulous time. It is truly lovely with one front courtyard surrounded by rooms and the back garden courtyard with an incredible cactus garden. Very quiet and immaculately clean. Bed was super comply, sheets crispy clean and pillows great. It is located a couple of blocks off the main square, 2 blocks from the central market. Breakfast was American with your choice of eggs, etc. shower pressure great and lots of hot water. We would return without a second thought. Hosts were friendly, professional and helpful.

    Windows are size of a door so difficult to open fully as it exposes the entire inside of the room to the outside view. Because of this - it is hard to ventilate so I was almost suffocating at night. Missing sockets, only one socket in a strange palce where is difficult to connect anything (because of distance) although staff put an extension cable later in my room. Cats at night were very noisy outside. They were another reason I was afraid to open the window fully - so they don't jump in to the room while slept.

    Location is great, no noise from the street or neighbours, friendly and helpful staff

    Breakfast is taken in the same location as the hotel reception, with dining tables and chairs within a small area. The overall impression is that the available space is cramped, especially if all guests take breakfast at around the same time.

    The hotel is discreetly tucked away behind anonymous high walls on Calle Consuelo. It is a colonial style property and was formerly the private home of the President of Peru at the turn of the 20th century. Most rooms are on the ground floor, fronting inner courtyards, of which there are two. It is well located just two blocks from the main square. The breakfast was standard fare for a 3* hotel with choice of eggs served to table, otherwise it’s a buffet service for other items. The room, (mini apartment), was comfortable and spacious and quiet. The bed was large (wide), very comfortable and with spotless cotton bed linen. A highlight for us was the small garden at the rear of the property comprising a wide range of well established cacti and succulents. Spend a few minutes viewing it. Top marks to the staff who were all very helpful and attentive.

    The bathroom was a little small. And the water pressure wasn't that great.

    My husband and I chose this hotel for its proximity to the Plaza de Armas and it's historical character. Our room was big and comfortable. We stayed in a suite. The breakfast was amazing. Felt like we were coming to the family table. Very nice home-like feeling to the hotel. The gardens in the courtyards were beautiful. Even though we were close to the main plaza, we didn't hear a whole lot of noise. The walls of our room were made of the white stone with a brick ceiling which I believe to helped buffer the noise. We felt very safe staying there. The main doors to the hotel are kept locked at all times and have video monitoring. When entering the hotel, you ring the bell and they unlock the door.

    Nothing. Except there might be some flies or insects in the house.

    Better than we imagined! Recommend in cold season! It's very convince to book a tour at reception, including watching condor, rafting or other activities. The location is great! Quiet at night. Near to the center.
