Boring and not 5 stars
Very nice if you are a nonagenarian german and miss the 30’s. Outdated place, not a 5 star or leading hotel, this has obviously been paid off because this is at best a normal 4 star hotel. They went over some renovations but the style is atrocious. A trip to the past. Service is mediocre and staff obviously not happy at their job. Rooms are a time capsule, literally an experience, and not in a good way.
Hotel Botánico
Dear AnagL We appreciate your feedback, but we are respectfully disagree with your assessment. While it's clear that the hotel has a unique character that may not appeal to everyone, it offers a charm that many guests find endearing. The vintage style can evoke nostalgia and provide a distinctive experience that modern hotels often lack. Moreover, the renovations, though perhaps unconventional in style, reflect an effort to preserve the hotel's history while updating its amenities for contemporary comfort. It's important to recognize that not every establishment aims for the sleek, minimalist aesthetic of today’s leading hotels. Instead, this hotel embraces its heritage, which can be a refreshing change for those seeking something different. As for the service, while you noted some shortcomings, many guests have found the staff to be friendly and accommodating. A positive attitude can sometimes be overshadowed by the pressures of the hospitality industry, and it’s worth considering that experiences can vary widely from one visitor to another. In essence, this hotel may not fit into the mold for you, but it certainly offers a unique experience that could resonate with those who appreciate its historical significance and character.
