We stayed here for 5 nights after recommendation from a friend and were certainly not disappointed. Renovated from the cloisters of a church which is still in use, we felt a sense of calm as soon as we entered the courtyard from the bustling streets outside. Don’t be misled by the 1-star official rating - we assume that’s because it doesn’t have a restaurant (for lunch/dinner), pool, gym etc. - but the comfort, decor, service are all very high 4-star in our view. The bedrooms and public areas have retained the character of the convent, whilst also being well-equipped and air-conditioned. Location very convenient for the train/bus stations, city centre and beaches - definitely don’t need a car here. Breakfast was served in the corner of the cloisters, from what would have been a chapel - excellent variety of hot and cold items on the buffet - local and international. We’ll be back!
