My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. While the reception area was stunning and the room offered incredible views of San Jose, I found the room itself to be somewhat cramped. The service was welcoming, especially during breakfast, but the experience in the hotel restaurant left much to be desired. Overall, it’s a decent place to stay, but adjustments could really enhance the experience.

I had a delightful stay at this boutique hotel, characterized by stunning architecture and an attentive staff. The views were breathtaking and truly made the experience memorable. Although the room was nice, it could use a bit of updating, and the lack of shower gel was a slight inconvenience. Breakfast was delicious but a bit hectic on busy mornings. Overall, the value for money was excellent, and I'd definitely recommend it.
