Top Historical Center Hotel Reviews

La Hostería

La Hostería

8/10 Good
"A beautiful property in a good area, not too far from the Plaza de Armas. We'd booked a deluxe double room and whilst large and clean, it was very dated, especially the bathroom and 70s style brickwork and fireplace that covered an entire wall. The shower was terrible and sprayed water everywhere apart from over the person showering. We reported the issue so they could fix before the next person stayed. The room was also very noisy from the main street and bridge crossing,and.backed onto a row of houses so you looked directly into their rooms and washing lines. The cafe area was lovely and they had beautiful outdoor spaces where you could sit but it had an air of neglect, the staff didn't really engage or look up when you passed reception and the cafe pumped out loud rock music which didn't make us want to linger. Overall it's a beautiful place but I was a little disappointed by our stay."
