Historico Central Hotel
Lovely hotel with great staff, we couldn’t believe everything was included in the price (coffee shop food and drinks, mini bar, breakfast) great location for central historic area. A bit more hectic than Roma Norte where we stayed before but stunning buildings and good for shopping
