Enchanting Escape at Autentico Hotel
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Autentico Hotel, and it exceeded all my expectations. The friendly service immediately made me feel at home, and the cleanliness of the rooms showcased their commitment to excellence. The authentic and delicious breakfast was a highlight, offering a delightful start to each day. While the rooms were generally comfortable, my only suggestion would be to add more pillows to enhance the bedroom's coziness. The hotel's location is superb, conveniently situated for exploring the area. However, the true gem of Autentico Hotel is its magical garden/restaurant. This enchanting space provided a serene escape, allowing me to unwind and indulge in the beauty of nature while savoring delectable dishes. Autentico Hotel is a haven for those seeking a perfect blend of comfort, authenticity, and charm. I wholeheartedly recommend it for a memorable and rejuvenating stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property itself if very nice - fresh, light, airy, organized around a charming swimming pool; restaurants pleasant, food quite tasty and reliable. Only drawback - in the middle of a semi deserted area of abandoned apartment buildings, commercial buildings. Safe enough during the day - just slightly depressing and no place to walk

Good and quiet
Hotel was nice and definitely offered good value for money. Breakfast was somewhat inconsistent from day to day, but good overall. Staff were very friendly and helpful, offering recommendations for drinks and transport. The location isn't ideal if you're on foot as the nearby roads are quite busy and don't always have traffic signals to allow for pedestrian crossing. That being said, Ubers were always around and inexpensive to get to the downtown centre. The hotel being slightly outside of downtown made it quiet, which was a plus.
