We had a great stay at this hotel. Very convenient with a baby. They provided a crib and everything is walking distance (shops, restaurants, hospital). The room was nice, comfortable bed, the staff very helpful. Beautiful terrace for sunset and dinner. Breakfast was great, but to note that they only open at 7am on the weekends vs 6am weekdays.

The staff is excellent specially Alfonso and Alberto. Good location. The management is very attention to detail; at night they give you a lavender sachet in the day they give you complimentary Nestcafe coffee machine access. The food at the restaurant is delicious at a gourmet level with a fare price. They also have live DJ at the bar. I loved everything about this hotel!
