Whenever we needed new towels, the housekeeping staff would drop everything to accommodate us immediately. They would even shorten their lunch hour to meet our needs. The housekeeping employees work hard, they provide high quality care and services, they are dedicated to their job, and they go above and beyond 100 percent. Thank you to Dalila, Monica, Teresa, and Vera for their professionalism, warm greetings and big smiles everyday.

Disliked: Staff & service
For dinner I ordered soup and when it came the soup was cold. I had to ask them to heat up the soup, which also tells me the soup was not fresh. Then when the main course spaghetti arrived, it was cold too and that's when I decided that was enough so I spoke to the waiter and he said he wouldn't charge me for the spaghetti since I didn't eat it. This four star hotel is overrated because it should be a one star hotel. Second time of staying at the same hotel I now see the true colors of the staff. Every time I asked a question, the red hair receptionist (forget her name) was always playing /shuffling paperwork as if she was too busy to even print me a receipt upon check-out. Check first to see who the kitchen staff is before you order the food. If it's Ines (the short lady with long hair) do not order and go somewhere else. She's also not friendly and never smiles at us. There are two Ines' in dinning. We gave this hotel a good rating at first but after the second time of staying there, we chaned our minds especially after receiving the cold food. We were blown out of our minds that this could be happening at a four star hotel.

Ideal holiday location for those interested in History, walking or just relaxing in a quiet yet vibrant atmosphere. Modern Hotel set in an old tastefully restored building. Friendly and efficient staff complement the setting.

The hotel was overall nice, althought we felt that it shouldn`t be considered a 4 star hotel (more like a 3).

Wonderful place - was an old convent then a military hospital. The building was constructed in the 1600's so it just radiates with character. We loved the worn marble stairs and the winding passage ways. It also has sitting areas throughout the hotel where you can sit and read or gather to talk or check emails. The staff is also extremely friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this place.

Perfect location to the center of town and easy to get to. Interesting history of the building. We were upgraded to a huge room with lots of antique furniture but still a bit sparse. Staff was excellent particularly Daniela. Bar was closed but breakfast was good. The pool was a nice way to spend a hot afternoon after visiting the city.

We enjoyed our stay a lot, had a great veiw and spacious room. Staff let us check in early and helped book a taxi into Spain. The breakfast was amazing. We were given 2 single beds instead of the requested double, and we unfortunately had very noisy guests opposite that kept us up late.

Hidden Gem
Amazing property, fantastic service, brilliant room. We had a room with a terrace in the second floor which was magical. Views of the fort from the balcony. Bed was super comfortable. Breakfast was top notch (except for the coffee machine although they made up for it with coffees delivered to the table) Hotel had secure parking behind a barrier. Can’t go wrong with a stay here.
