    I liked its particularly helpful and competent employees.

    The location was absolutely perfect - within walking distance of everywhere we wanted to go. Easy access to Mariscal Lamar airport, which was about 40 minutes' drive away. The room was fairly quiet and cosy, included with a Queen size bed, a balcony, fridge.

    Incredibly beautiful hotel, I really enjoyed its very central location next to many restaurants, the main plaza and beautiful church, and center. The room was beautifully maintained & large with a Queen size bed and a balcony, as for instance. The check-in was fast and the atmosphere was family overall.

    charming building
    helpful staff
    limited breakfast options
    noise from outside

    Excellent location and cozy atmosphere

    The location is perfect, just a short walk to the main plaza, and I loved the charming character of the old building. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the staff went out of their way to accommodate our needs, including a delicious breakfast that catered to food allergies. One minor downside was the limited options for breakfast, but overall, I would definitely return.

    Charming Stay with Helpful Staff

    We stayed for 3 nights in a cozy Twin Room and loved the central location. The staff were great too help us with local attractions, and the breakfast provided a lovely start to our mornings. Remember to secure any valuables during your stay!

    charming atmosphere
    helpful staff

    La orquidea has a charming vibe with its old colonial architecture. My room was cozy and clean, with a good-sized closet. It's in a great spot, just a short walk to the fine cathedral. Viviana at the front desk was super friendly and helped me with my luggage and local tips. I loved the warm atmosphere here.

    lovely lobby
    spacious suite
    worn furniture
    limited breakfast options
    amenities need upgrades

    Charming old-world atmosphere with a lovely lobby. The suite was spacious, with two bedrooms and a kitchen, perfect for our short stay. The location was ideal, right in the heart of the historic area, and the price was unbeatable at $45. The furniture was a bit worn, and the amenities could use some upgrades. Breakfast options were limited, but the overall cleanliness and comfort made up for it.
