Jonathan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel rooms are apart from the Palacio, which can only be reached through the basement and an outside space. While the Palacio is nice, it attempts to accommodate corporate events, weddings and individual guests at the same time.

David, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Just a short Uber from town and worth the views

Property and location were great. Breakfast is very good with a lot of variety and helpful staff. Rooms are very big and a nice view of the river. Too far from town to walk if that's what you are looking for. Only complaints...hard to get in and out of the tub to shower..seemed a little unsafe with the big step in and out. Personally, I didn't like the huge pillow and the even bigger memory foam. I didn't ask to replace and maybe some people really like them..just a personal preference. Overall..very nice and have already recommended.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful Hotel/Palace

We had a great stay with our son. The extra bed made the room a little crowded but we weren’t in the room long enough that it was a problem. The hotel is beautiful with plenty of places to hang out and enjoy each other’s company. The staff was super helpful and so nice. It was too far to walk to the city center for the taxi was only €10 for 3 people, and the hotel staff called for us. We never had to wait more than 10 minutes more the taxi.
