This hotel is in the best location in town and should be considered for that alone. Built by an English business man in the 1920s it is a charming eclectic mix of baroque, Versailles and Italian splendour. The rooms are air conditioned and clean. Basic with no frills, apart from the curtains and chandeliers! Breakfast simple and fresh. We had... More

A beautifully restored boutique hotel filled throughout with magnificent antique furnishings. conveniently located in a quiet area with good river views from the front rooms and rooftop terrace.Maria, the owner, is very friendly and helpful. a good choice for lovers of antiques.

old property which should be charming and instead is just decrepit. Thread bare carpet on the stairs, food trapped under the over-long dining table cloths, minute bathroom, staff that didn't speak any English. All not good.

We stayed here one night after our trip to the Galapagos, and wished we could stay longer. Staying here is like staying in a small Doges' Palace. It is very beautiful, with lovely furniture, paintings, chandeliers, etc., everywhere. We had wine on the rooftop overlooking the river followed by a delicious dinner arranged ahead of time. We had to leave... More

We stayed here for four nights and felt like it was a nice luxurious break. The building is very charming with a wonderfully decorated lounge (complete with piano) and top floor balcony over looking the river. The rooms were small and simple, with a comfortable bed, air conditioning (huge plus!), and a small fridge with beers and water at affordable... More
