Many guests highlight the comfort and spaciousness of the rooms, noting that they are beautiful, well-appointed and well-maintained. The rooms are clean and cater to basic standards with some describing them as well-equipped despite being small. However, several reviews point out that the decor seems outdated and some installations could use refurbishment.

There are also several complaints. Some guests found their rooms uncomfortable and noted issues such as poor lighting, lack of air conditioning and noise problems due to inadequate soundproofing. Ground floor rooms, although large, were described as dark and some rooms lacked windows, making them feel cramped and damp. The bathrooms, while consistently hot, sometimes fell short in cleanliness. Additionally, features such as skylights and small steps caused discomfort for some guests, especially those who prefer to sleep in or face mobility challenges.

In summary, while some rooms at Hotel Marqueses impress with their beauty and functionality, others fall short due to outdated decor, lack of modern amenities and issues with light and noise.

Hotel Marqueses offers a mix of sleeping experiences for its guests. Many reviews highlight the beds and pillows as being comfortable, contributing to a restful night's sleep. Some guests specifically praised the spacious rooms paired with comfortable bedding. However, there were a few remarks about the beds being either hard or overly soft and one observation noted that the area under the beds was dusty.

Cleanliness
Hotel Marqueses has received mixed reviews when it comes to cleanliness. Guests have noted that the hotel is generally clean with some clean and comfortable facilities. The common areas, in particular, have been well-maintained and are clean. However, the cleanliness of the rooms and bathrooms has garnered some criticism. While a few guests mentioned that their rooms and bathrooms were clean and well-maintained, others reported issues ranging from dust accumulation and odd stains to rooms not being cleaned during their stay.

One of the recurring issues is the cleanliness of the bathrooms. Some guests experienced problems such as leaking due to blocked drains and insufficient cleaning during extended stays. There were also several mentions of dust and dirty spots in the rooms, indicating that the room cleaning is not ideal and could benefit from improvement.

Despite these issues, the cleaning staff has been praised by a few guests for doing a great job, suggesting there might be inconsistency in the level of cleanliness. The bathroom consistently has hot water at any time, which is a positive aspect. In summary, while some areas of Hotel Marqueses meet cleanliness standards, there is notable room for improvement, especially in the guest rooms and bathrooms.

Staff
Nestled in the heart of the city, Hotel Marqueses stands out not just for its prime location but for its exceptional staff. Guests repeatedly highlight the remarkably friendly, kind and helpful nature of everyone working at the hotel. The team goes above and beyond with standout mentions of staff members like Mr. Wilfredo, who is noted for his lovely demeanor and dedication to customer service and Lis, providing excellent attention at breakfast.

Whether it's assisting with health concerns like altitude sickness, offering solutions to various issues or simply being welcoming and approachable, the staff's willingness to help seems boundless. The night doorman also garners praise for his great service. The manager and proprietor contribute to the friendly and hospitable environment, making sure guests feel genuinely welcomed.

Not only are individual staff members highlighted for their exceptional service, but the entire team receives accolades for their attentiveness, quick problem-solving and overall great service.

Moreover, the hotel isn't just about service; it combines excellent amenities like hot water showers and well-insulated rooms with its top-notch staff. For anyone looking for a seamless and hospitable stay in the city center, Hotel Marqueses with its remarkable team, is an excellent choice.

Wi-Fi
Hotel Marqueses, although charming and historical, has struggled with providing reliable Wi-Fi for its guests. Many visitors have pointed out that the thick, old walls of the building make it difficult for the Wi-Fi signal to reach all areas effectively. In particular, the connection in rooms, especially those towards the back of the hotel, is often weak or intermittent. Some guests found the internet unusable within their rooms and reported very poor or unstable connections throughout their stay. For those looking to unplug from the digital world, this could be seen as a mild benefit, but for others needing consistent internet access, the Wi-Fi issues have been a significant inconvenience.

3 Star
Hotel Marqueses offers a reasonable stay that balances cost and benefits well. Guests have had mixed experiences, but many point out the highlights that make this hotel notable. The manager is described as super friendly and the overall service is often praised as spectacular with some even saying it feels like a five-star hotel experience. However, breakfast has received less favorable comments; while it is included, guests have noted that the food options can be limited and supplies such as cheese, croissants and fruit can run out before the end of the breakfast period. Additionally, some rooms have issues with bad odors when used, possibly due to a lack of air fresheners and there can be occasional delays in service maintenance—one guest mentioned it took three days to install a TV channel box. While the hotel may not focus heavily on customer service, many find it a satisfactory option for those looking for good value.
