We stayed at El Monarca for 4 days in December 2023. The hotel is a good location, and the property itself looks quite nice. The room was very dusty when we checked in and the front desk clerk would only let us have 2 towels, despite booking a room for 4. There was no air conditioning, the room was quite hot and we had to open the windows and didn`t sleep well because of drivers driving by and honking...Overall, the hotel was decent for the money paid, but it could have been cleaner and I`m not sure about the towel thing?
I love that is a big Casona but definitely needs upgrades. Poor lighting in the bathroom, stain old mirrors and the door nob wasn't really working, I was locked out once and the staff didn't have a spare key.
Staff was very accommodating to adjust my breakfast, I was allow to keep in their fridge a yogurt and I was asked often if my room needbut cleaning which I was pleased.
Nice and helpful staff, some of them speak
English. Didnât mind making us breakfast early at 6:00 am in order to catch our flight. Breakfast is nothing special but fine for the price.
Rooms and comfort are good. The shower does have a little trouble not getting either very hot or very cold.
Hotel is located at a perfect spot in the middle of Miraflores.
Very budget friendly and for that reason expectation need to be adjusted. The current condition of the room is not reflected in photos on website, especially the condition of the bathroom. Low water pressure and basic general upkeep needed. I ended up checking out a day early and did not request refund. Just couldnât take the discomfort from having to use the bathroom.
