Beds and sheets are so comfortable, rooms as well. The restaurant has a great menu with local and internacional ingredients that are unique. The staff is very friendly and attentive to the needs of the guests. The location of the hotel is on a very convenient place near the Cathedral, restaurants, bars and many other establishments. You walk and explore all the area. I recommend it for sure.

Beautiful hotel and excellent food

Beautiful hotel with excellent food. The courtyard is a lovely place to have breakfast in the morning or dinner at night, when they light a fire creating a great ambience. Staff were great. Very good central location but the hotel itself is really calm and tranquil. Really nice toiletries provided. Excellent value for money.

Fabulous stay at a fabulous hotel

We checked in in the evening and there was a magic glow about the Sombra. We were greeted warmly and were entranced at the beauty of everything. Service was perfect as were the accommodations. Added bonus- the restaurant was creative and excellent. We look forward to our next, longer stay.

Very good hotel!

This is a really good hotel. The staff is lovely and very helpful. Rooms are comfortable and very clean. We had a challenge working the tv and the safe in the room didn’t work, but in spite of that we would stay here again. The restaurant in the hotel is excellent!
