San Simón Hotel Boutique

We stayed in room 8.1 on the top floor. The elevator goes to the 7th floor and then there’s a flight of stairs up to the room. The room is large, bright, and has two very comfortable double beds, as well as a desk and a sitting area. The bathroom area is large with a nice big shower, plenty of hot water, good water pressure, and a rain water shower head. The hotel is perfectly situated on Plaza Bolivar close to shops and restaurants. It’s a lively place and it felt quite safe to walk around. The hotel staff are friendly and very responsive. The staff helped us find a driver to take us to the thermal baths in Santa Rosa. Also, we had a problem with our sink plug and it was remedied quickly. The hotel is very clean and nicely decorated in typical “zen” boutique hotel style. The wifi connection is excellent. Guests have the choice of a simple breakfast at the hotel, or a wider choice at the sister hotel across the square. Great value for the money.

The location of the hotel on Plaza Bolivar means there is traffic noise and people in the square all day and in the evening. It’s quiet if you close the windows. If you like to sleep with the windows open, you’ll need earplugs.
