Nice
Cleanliness and in room service was excellent. Very nice cool hotel (decoration and ambiance) We felt that all was quite good with the exception of the restaurant, even though food was good, waiters are poorly trained and/or lack experience. Still they were polite and friendly.

Pool was closed for maintenance. That happens, but I specifically picked the hotel for the pool. Carpet in room had significant water damage by bathroom. The property is pretty new & this should be fixed. It is ncongruous with the vibe of the space

Interiors could use some touch up. Toilet, sink faucet fixtures were loose, duvet had yellow stains, cleaners took toiletry items and returned the next day? Strange. Mornings are loud with blowers and power washing. Just a couple things but enjoyed the location and design of hotel minus the elevator. Very slow and couldn’t walk down stairs to leave hotel.

Overall, I enjoyed my stay at the Hotel Magdalena. It's in a good, walkable area with plenty to do nearby, if a little generic and touristy. The staff were always pleasant and helpful when I had a question and the room was comfortable and well appointed, I especially loved the Sferra bed linens and the Fruta de Sangre bath products. The restaurant menu was a little limited but the food was delicious and the service was, again, great. The only negative thing that prevents me from giving the place an all out positive recommendation was the surprising amount of noise I encountered during my stay. I was on the 2nd floor in a room that located just over the restaurant area and the music they played was incredibly loud in that area. It wasn't too much of an issue when I was gone during the day, but it would start at 7AM and go well into the evening which made sleeping difficult. Also, on both mornings of our stay there were landscapers running leafer blowers at 8 AM and maintenance workers working on various parts of the property. I understand stuff happens sometimes but I do think a hotel claiming 4 stars should be more thoughtful of guest comfort, especially when it comes to hours when people normally sleep. I would recommend to anyone thinking about staying here to possibly see if they can get a room away from the restaurant to at least mitigate any issues with the music in the courtyard.
