Satisfactory stay near the Basilica

central locationgood breakfastfriendly staffcourtyard viewsmall roomnatural light

The location was very central. Restaurants and attractions were easily accessible. The breakfast offered a very good selection. I found the staff quite friendly.

My room faced an inner courtyard. The view wasn't very appealing. The room was smaller than expected based on online pictures. I was a bit underwhelmed by the lack of natural light in my room.

I found the location convenient, really central and walkable. the room was clean. I opened my windows. the staff offered friendly service! it was a great experience.

The room could be darker. The curtains didn't cover the whole window. also, the church bell was very loud sometimes. this made sleeping a bit difficult.

The location was indeed central.

I encountered an issue with the air conditioning as the temperature was automatically set to 25 degrees. Staff mentioned that they couldn't adjust it to save on electricity, less than ideal, so I was sweating the entire time.
