Casa Esmeralda Hotel

Very friendly staff, 24/7 person on site. Excellent location, multiple parades went right past the front door. Really good wifi. Comfortable bed.

It can get noisy given you are so close to the action, particularly on the weekend. The shower takes a while to warm up, and only really gets like warm.

Gorgeous space. Large room. Incredibly helpful and friendly staff. The location was phenomenal (all three of our walking tours went straight by the entrance) and we were made to feel entirely safe as the door was only openable from the inside and staffed 24 hours a day.

Wifi worked excellently in the courtyard but only one of our laptops could use it reliably in the room. The window opened onto a stairwell which would've been awkward except we had the whole property to ourselves. The desk could use a lamp.

I made a mistake with my booking and the lady was so kind in helping me to resolve it. All the staff were charming. The whole stay was perfect. The best thing was that you could walk anywhere from it. Also, it was close to an amazing taco/quesadilla stand (tacos del carmen) on the corner. There is also a superb restaurant (La popular) facing the taco stand to go to when the taco stand isn’t open. The room was spacious and the roof terrace gave a nice space for my morning coffee. If they added seating out there, it would be perfect. The breakfast offering was simple but I preferred to go out and explore the markets for food. I felt secure and comfortable at all times.

If there could be some seating on the roof terrace, that would improve things.
