Latroupe Prado
Beautiful room in a nice location. Super convenient to get to all the attractions, but still quiet enough for a good rest. Booked a private room instead of shared room.

Hotel Regina
Breakfast was excellent. But it’s not free as advertised…. the hidden fees because of the price of the rooms. We love the vibes of the Hotel Regina but our room lacked a nice view- inner space was not inviting
