Why People Love It
- Directly faces García Sanabria Park (lush views, quiet vibe)
- Rooftop pool and jacuzzi with panoramic city and ocean views
- Excellent value for a 4-star hotel in the city center
Quick Take: A solid, well-located city hotel that trades resort sprawl for urban convenience and killer park views.
Reviewed by @Miajbowen: I stayed here for a few nights and it felt like a total sanctuary. My favorite part was grabbing a coffee and heading to the rooftop pool—it's surprisingly quiet. The gym has this massive window facing the park trees, which made my workouts way better. A solid city find.

What to pack
- Earplugs (if you end up in a street-facing room)

Room Genie
Best picks
- Premium Double Room with Park View (worth the upgrade for the view and quiet)
- Inner Courtyard rooms (no view, but dead silent for light sleepers)
- Grand Suite with Terrace (huge outdoor space, though the 'private pool' is actually just direct access to the public rooftop)
Rooms to avoid
- Standard rooms on the 1st/2nd floor facing the street (traffic noise)
- Interior rooms on lower floors (can be dark with 'no real daylight')
Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“I would appreciate a room on a high floor facing García Sanabria Park. If that is not available, a quiet interior courtyard room is preferred over a street-facing room.”

💡The elevators can be slow during breakfast rush hour (8:30-9:30 AM).
