Room was small, basic but clean and had a great view over the river. There were no facilities here, they were in the sister hotel next door.

While the room was clean, neat and comfortable, the bathroom could use some improvement as there was mold in the shower and the bidet was missing a nozzle.

Very old hotel. No parking on arrival was directed to park a large BMW on a ravine edge by the receptionist. This hotel is not a 3 star it a 1 star, it’s a con as they share a reception with the Museo Hotel next door which is a 3 star. Also be prepared to be kept awake till 2am by thumping music from the rooftop bar.

The hotel room is much older than the posted pictures. Room was very hot and the AC was very weak, took 10hr to cool off the room enough to sleep. In the evening, ants covered the room's table. Poor night of sleep due to hot room and ants.
