Cockroaches and dark

Stayed here for its interior design and architecutre of its minimal look and ode to Spanish design. Great sized room especially the one with the interior skylight. Very friendly welcome with a Herradura shot and a cocktail voucher on their terrace area. Room service food was good and very timely. Quality of food was great.

A little loud with other guests in the area as sound reverbates around the propety and you can hear people's conversations and bathroom facilities

The architecture is stunning, room very cool and comfortable. Great location.

Breakfast was nice but so slow. Everyone was waiting a long time to get their food. We heard several guests telling staff they had tours booked and would their food be much longer. It was good, just make sure to allow an hour for breakfast to be safe (bring a book or work to do!)

The design is very cool and thoughtful. We had superior larger rooms in overlooking the square, which were very good size.

Quite a few things: - water in the pool is ice cold. It is not intended for people to swim, but rather to get in and out when it is hot - breakfast included are a complete disaster: super limited offer and namely says “1 piece of bread”. There are no European options like avocado toast or similar (no French toast or pancakes, you can forget about it). Most people took poached eggs, black coffee (cappuccino not included), and pay additional for avocado (in Mexico…). The restaurant staff is super slow, brings wrong staff and doesn’t speak English. Takes ages to have a simple breakfast. Salt is not on the table and they have to fetch it, usually takes 5 minutes. Basically, you end up paying for it to get anything “extra” normal. - water in the rooms is limited to 1 carafe. They don’t have more carafes in the hotel is you ask for it. - bathroom on the ground floor is not for customers, but for staff only. So if you are waiting for a taxi, please go upstairs to use wc. - no coffee/tea, sleepers, bathrobes or similar in the rooms - reception female staff is not very fast and not particularly welcoming. Very factual, and slow with any requests. These are just a few to name. Since this hotel has been in a few city guides and designer magazines like Cabana, it turned out very disappointing
