This is an interesting and well appointed little boutique hotel at the quiet end of the Colonial District, comfortably furnished and with very pleasant staff. The garden is especially delightful. While the square opposite is quite busy and even noisy during the daytime, it is relatively quiet at night. From the point of view of security, we never felt uncomfortable walking in our neighborhood.

Great location. The recepcionistas were kind and attentive and the rooms were clean. There were not enough tables, plates and silverware for breakfast and the wait staff was not very friendly. The air conditioner in one of our rooms did not work, though it was not needed in December. Avoid the taxi service provided by the hotel. They tried to charge us $40US for a trip that cost $5US. with Uber.

El Beaterio is my Go-To hotel whenever i stay in Zona colonial. Centrally located, walk to all the main attractions in the Old town: upscale restaurant literally in the same block! Tons of other dining options, bars, nice park where locals gather in the evening right across the street. Receptionist Pierre is super friendly and nice! Shows you everything, makes sure you know where everything is, what hours breakfast is etc. Hotel itself is such a historical jewel! You feel like you enter the Time Machine: lobby, breakfast area, staircase and room itself! I’m a history buff, so i also love how they have pictures everywhere and a little history written about the old times! The only thing I’d mention is to be careful when walking up to the second floor, it’s a bit slipper on top when it rains. Maybe owners will see this review and put a rubber mat or something else there as i almost slipped and fall, especially in the evening coming back after a few drinks :) Otherwise, don’t think twice and book this hotel because you won’t find better value in the area for your money!
