10/10 Excellent

Beautiful historic building with renovated rooms with a minimalist style combining heritage and modernity. Keycode access to the room is very convenient,. Breakfast was nice - abundant options in a tranquil dining room. Still and sparkling water, coffee and fruit are available at all hours. Pity the wine machine in the library and the rooftop bar weren't operating. But I recommend Vinoteca de la Colonia around the corner for a wine tasting. I would suggest adding somewhere to hang the hand...
