Lonely Planet Review

This classy family-run hostal is a fine option for those who love that somewhat decadent, old-world touch. Mostly sunny rooms have high ceilings and an antique dealer's idea of heaven in terms of jumbled old furniture. The suites, which can be taken as triples, are roomy and worth the extra outlay.

You know you're in for a treat when you catch sight of the attractive relief carvings adorning the building's stairwell, but it gets even better once you're inside. The public spaces overflow with antique furnishings, ancient paintings hanging a little akimbo on the walls, Art Deco lamps and abundant flowers throughout. The rooms are similarly brimful of higgledy-piggledy character, with seemingly every corner a work of art - an intricately framed mirror, a period statuette, or a sofa that would fetch thousands in an antiques showroom. Although the bathroom design is similarly old-style, the fittings are the result of tasteful renovation. The young staff are energetic and welcoming.
