"The Big thing the Don Miguel has going for it is its prime location overlooking the gorge right beside the iconic new bridge. You can't beat the view! Otherwise, it is a fine, if well-worn, older hotel. The restaurant has multiple terraces all with lovely views, but so-so food. They say they have limited parking, but it is so limited that most guests must hunt for limited parking elsewhere in town."

"The location was fabulous but hotel was very basic. Owner leaves WhatsApp number for you to contact on arrival so you have to wait to be let in. I had tried contacting through Hotel.com messaging in advance to reserve parking but never heard back. I parked outside the old city and walked in which I think in the long run is easier. I had to message again to get the wifi password as it isn’t posted anywhere. She responded right away. The place is fine but more basic than I had expected and no one is manning the desk for any length of time. I messaged to say I had checked out and left the keys at the desk as no instructions provided."
