Noise pollution

The rooms are nice and are cleaned every day. The heating is very very loud when it should reach the desired temperature. Sleeping is impossible, so always have to turn it off at night. This would be less good in winter. The fridge also whistles all the time.

Muy buena opcion por su ubicacion

El hotel muy bien ubicado, muy bonito, elegante, sin embargo el minibar siempre estuvo solo a pesar de que me ofrecían descuentos en bebdidas del minibar, pero esta bien, mo fue problema, lo que si fue un problema: el ruido entre los cuartos, pareciera que tenia al huesped de la otra habitacion usando mi baño!! Terrible !
