Hotel Boutique La Ronda by Chat Noir

Hotel Boutique La Ronda by Chat Noir

10/10 Excellent
"Great location and can not say enough positives about the staff. Because it is a little dated, there has been a little setting causing all the doors to the rooms to bind and therefore, very noisy. Easy solution is to take the doors off the hinges and sand them down so they close easily without force. The noise definitely will wake you up when your neighbors are going or coming or when you are exiting. "
