Great colonial hotel in a good location. It was close enough to walk to the main square and restaurants but far enough away from them to be quiet. It has a beautiful inner courtyard with a garden. The balcony was nice for sitting to enjoy the view of the City. The room was quiet and the bed was comfortable. They provided a heater since it was a little cold at night. The water in the shower took a minute to get hot but it was nice pressure and hot. The breakfast was amazing - fresh hot food with fruit/coffee/ tea. We got our clothes laundered through them, which was very helpful but there were other places around the hotel to do this. The staff were amazing and very happy to help with any request. I would stay here again for sure.
