Catalonia El Pilar
This is a beautiful hotel that is conveniently located to many walkable places. I did not get the room I wanted overlooking the plaza. Please take note that in order to get a room overlooking the plaza you have to be a couple. Nonetheless it was still a very nice room.

The only bad thing was that the air conditioner is available only in the summer. We opened the window but lots of noise from the street
