Loved this hotel. Right outside the city walls it was very convenient for parking (December) and to enter the old city. The hotel is old worldly, in a good way. The breakfast was fabulous. Lots of choice with much of it home made.

Stephen, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

unique property full of books lining the walls and shelves. Great location - just at the foothill of Obidos wall. The only downside was the smell: the room has a heavy mildew smell, and the bathrooms has an obvious sewer smell.
