This house is excellent for a group of around 10 people. The rooms a nice ( the suite is very very nice!), the location is great on a quiet street near everything.
The staff is phenomenal, Juliette and Andrea are the best. I have nothing bad to say, you would have the time of your life!
A tiny, mostly quiet boutique hotel. Located in the heart of the old city, Casa Heredia Is minutes from authentic dining, plazas and historic sites. The room was nice and the bathroom was very modern. The A/C worked great, and our room was frosty when we returned from exploring. Breakfast was included, which was delicious authentic, and made to order. It included coffee, juice, fruit, toast and a main dish, always served hot. The staff were always polite, respectful, and helpful. A great place to stay if you're going to spend most of your time in the city. No children.
This hotel is amazing! We paid about $50/night, which is already ridiculously cheap for a hotel in this part of town. Bed was comfy, bathroom was clean and roomy. Staff was super nice. Breakfasts were amazing! Everything is so fresh. You always have your pick of fruit, toast, coffee, eggs, and a traditional side. The scrambled eggs with patacones pictured here were out of this world.
Long story short, if you’re considering this hotel, do yourself a favor and just book it already!
Perfect location. Small and cozy with a refreshing pool. Staff is super friendly and helpful, specially Yira. If you have beers in the refrigerator she will bring it to you if you’re in the pool. Absolutely lovely!
I came here as my original hotel has the habit of overbooking and relocating their clients to neighboring hotels.
I am not sure if the original hotel would have been better, but they placed us here instead and compensated us with picking us up from airport. If I would have known we were being downgraded to this hotel, I would have demanded compensation.
When we arrived, we were taken to our room. We were located in one of the two smaller rooms in the back upstairs. We could barely fit our luggage and walk within the room. The bathroom was half the size of the room.
There were no hooks for the towels in the bathroom, and there was a make shift shelf that looks as stable as someone putting an ikea shelf on the wall (so I only hung my towel there and nothing else as the two hooks look like they are about to fail).
Our bathroom also was not clean. There was the wrapper of a toothpaste that was on the floor for many days, and there was someone’s inter dental tooth pick behind the sink that the staff didn’t notice and still left it there. The shower was also not the cleanest, and the toilet was leaking. We put one of the hand towels down as it already soaked the floor towel. When we came back later in the day to find that they made up the bed and repositioned the hand towel on the ground to go on top of our cosmetics, we were a bit disgusted. Oh also, the door is one of those cheap hollowed out repurposed wood that slides. This means the bathroom is never completely closed and you cannot seclude it from the room. The door is basically next to the head of the bed, so do not expect privacy when here. Also our plastic toilet seat was broken, so if you didn’t sit on it a berating way, you would fall off. Also the space between the toilet and the sink was not so much so I kept hitting my knees on the thing holding up the sink.
Breakfast is served from 7:00-10:00 every day. The selection is not much unless you order in Spanish. I was hoping for a bit more but it was like visiting a friend in college and seeing what was left over in their refrigerator. They have a table with four seats for all the guests to use, so try not to come when the other guests come as you will not have a space to eat.
They also have a pool, that could maximum fit four people, but then it would already be too crowded.
There was a safe in our room that could fit about five passports. If you have something larger, good luck. You may have to take it with you. Actually our safe ran out of battery and I notified the staff. They said they did not have any more batteries and gave us the emergency keys instead.
The door is also a joke. Do you know those doors that have a push button for a lock? It literally looks like a closet door or a door made out of shutters with a simple push button lock. You are given keys, but in order to lock your door, you have to push the button to lock the door from the inside and pull it shut from the outside. If I wanted to rob the rooms, I could literally just kick the door and break it down. A kid has enough strength to break the doors down. This being said, you also hear a lot as the door has cracks in it as it looks like a shutter.
Our room did not have blinds to block out the sun but only decorative curtains. Bring a sleeping mask if you are sensitive to light.
The staff comes in the make the bed, but other than that nothing is cleaned nor are towels replaced.
Next door is a club or bar with live music. As all the buildings here are wall to wall connected, don’t be surprised to think the live concert is happening downstairs.
There was one night stand in our room that held the small safe. Other than that, there is no where to store belongings. There was no chair or table. Actually there was no more room to store items as the rest of the room is needed to walk around.
I advise you to think twice about booking this hotel. If you are expectations are low and don’t need much but running water and a bed, and don’t mind paying hotel prices for a hostel setting, then this place is perfect for you. If not, don’t come here.
