My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. While the ambiance and front desk staff were quite pleasant, the room issues and lack of management support definitely overshadowed the positives. On the other hand, during my stay at Hotel Belgica, I experienced a delightful mix of old-world charm with modern conveniences and had a fabulous time during the Ponce Carnival with fantastic recommendations from the staff.

The rooms at the hotel were spacious but unfortunately, I wasn't able to control the temperature well; it was either too hot or too cold. In contrast, the rooms at Hotel Belgica were historically charming with a comfortable queen bed and all the modern amenities.

The hotel is perfectly located close enough to the carnival action to join in the fun within minutes, yet far enough away to enjoy a peaceful night's sleep. It's right in the heart of the city, next to a beautiful square where you can relax.
