Very nice and beautiful hotel in the center of the old city. Safe walking, street markets. Many reasonable restaurants. I'm 75, and I walked all the nearby streets. Never felt unsafe. Uber sevice quick and efficient. Metro stations ten minutes walk.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
We were in a small "comfort" room. Barely enough space to walk around the double bed. Space poorly planned. Bathroom cramped. No windows. (Other, larger, rooms may have been more pleasant.) We moved across the street to the EXCELLENT Hotel Histórico Centro. Twice the room rate, but worth it, for pleasant surroundings and unbelievable staff service.
