Absolutely stunning, clean, steps from the best part of town. So many stairs, not wheelchair friendly. Breakfast was good. Make sure you take advantage of the private roof top terraces for sun set.

Lindo hotel, se aprecia la preciosa vista de San Cristóbal, un lugar muy mágico sin duda. La atención es muy cordial y el servicio y comida del restaurante Chez Waffle es de primer nivel. Recomiendo tambien la clase que pueden incluir si avisan con anticipación.

Literally almost everything about this hotel was great. The very first day arrived Victor who was at the front desk helped in any needs or questions I've had. The hotel is located at the heart of the San Cristobal and walking distance to anywhere. Very clean and their beds were extremely comfortable. The view from the terrace is outstanding at night or during the day. Irecommend this place to anyone. It would have been great if they had refrigerator in their rooms.

The rooms exceeded my families expectations. The views are incredible from the balconies and in the bedroom and living room. Very clean, even better than advertised for the facility. Check in was easy and the location is a short walk to the center park. Highly recommend.
