My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was prime for exploring the area on foot, but the noise levels from street traffic and the rooftop bar were unbearable. The service was attentive and helpful, yet there were moments where the focus seemed to shift away from us. The dining experience had its highlights but lacked options for special dietary needs. Overall, a mixed experience.

Staying at the hotel had its ups and downs. On the bright side, the location was prime in Casco Viejo, perfect for exploring on foot. However, the room placement below the lively rooftop bar and street noise made for a challenging night's sleep. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond to cater to our needs, while the dining options fell short for those with dietary restrictions.
