Staff at front desk were very helpful. Airport pickup was delayed as driver went to Terminal 1 but all passengers with checked bags go to Terminal 2. Pool area could do with a make over as looking tired. Lovely character hotel and the staff were friendly. Our room at the rear suffered from noise from a nearby plant room.

This Hotel is amazing! From the greetings at check in to the good bye at check out the staff were very attentive and amazing. The hotel has 4 restaurants each one with a different theme and food selection; we tried all and the food, prices, and staff were beyond of amazing. Hotel is in the center of Casco Viejo, very close to all attractions. Thank you the staff and I will definitely will recommend.
