DK Eyewitness

Time Out

DK Eyewitness

Time Out
"The new Hotel de las Letras laughs in the face of the current hotel vogue for teak and slate, and plumps instead for bold paintwork in red, orange and purples." Full review

Star Service
"This hotel is housed in a imposing art nouveau-style building dating from1917." Full review

Those who sleep softly would do well to request rooms higher up, as the noise from the street, restaurant and bar can be heard on the lower floors straight through to daylight.
