Top Cortez Hotel Reviews

Kompose Boutique Hotel

Kompose Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Kompose Hotel was genuinely one of the best hotel experiences I’ve had. My husband and I booked with them due to close proximity to many of the activities we wanted to do while visiting, in addition to the great reviews. The staff was beyond helpful and kind, the room was insanely clean (even the floors felt freshly mopped), the large parking lot, all of it was genuinely just perfect. We even joked that even if we just stayed at the hotel for our entire trip, we’d be happy! I would suggest definitely taking time to go to their sauna. It was SUCH a little luxury that elevated our experience and made us feel like we were at a spa or resort. It was calming, clean & perfect. My only advice for booking is to just be aware the bathroom/shower area is very intimate, so make sure you are sharing a room with a partner/someone you don’t mind being very close with! The room we had had a sliding glass door to close off the toilet or shower area. So just be aware of that, but for us it wasn’t a problem at all. We are already planning our trip back & planning to stay at the beautiful Kompose Hotel. Don’t hesitate, book with them!!!"
