9/10 Wonderful! (240 reviews)
The pool was beautiful but not heated so we couldn’t swim in it. There are lots of chairs to sun bathe in. We were able to safely walk to many markets, plazas and restaurants within 10-15 minutes walk from the hotel.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Beautiful old city, but downtown awfully crowded and noisy. Hotel is in a very good location, has a lot of character. Taxis easy to get nearby. Unfortunately, everything was closed down just before we got there, so we couldn't go to many places.
