Our room was tiny but adorable. The staff could not have been nicer. The extra bonus was 20% off on their restaurant Kandeela. I usually avoid hotel restaurants but this was well rated and when we saw and smelled what was coming out of the kitchen we decided to eat there. Dinner was fantastic, original and the service outstanding. With the discount it was a tremendous bargain.

Home away from home

They are a very cute little boutique hotel in the heart of Casco Viejo. If you are looking for a charming little home feel, soak in the historic area with the classic balconies the shutters and brick walls filled with local and carefully selected art and decoration with the touch of luxury, look no further!

An exceptional property and a restaurant that is not to be missed. The shining diamond of the experience for us was the staff. Anticipatory services at every opportunity. If you have the opportunity to book this property, book it….then book a dinner reservation at Kaandela.
