Excellent but the room: too small for the price.
The room was small and I didn't have that good of a view but it was nice. The rest of the hotel was outstanding and the breakfast was amazing. Excellent Hotel I recommend

A fantastic, elegant stay. Everything worked great, the staff is beyond helpful. Rooms are very well appointed and the beds are very comfortable.

Avoid this hotel, there are better ones
Poor service, slow response from booking, average food, over priced, good location. Bad value for money. Choose Faena instead.

This is a great hotel in a really good part of town. There are a lot of attractions to visit on foot and there’s plenty of transportation to get to other parts of the city. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. The hotel is very luxurious as are the amenities. It’s not a very “green” hotel despite their claim to be conscious about the environment but they aren’t wasteful either (the only green aspect I saw was that they did not change the sheets or towels as I requested). All in all, a great experience and I’ll definitely be back soon!

What a wonderful hotel. The only negative is a king bed room really isn’t a king bed but two twin beds pushed almost together, there is still a gap between them. The hotel is very fancy and beautiful! I would not hesitate to stay there!
