Our suite was spacious and charmingly appointed with an eclectic array of antique furnishings and accessories. We had to call the front desk for more hangers, but there was enough closet and drawer space for us to store away all of our clothing—but not all of our shoes, unfortunately.
There was a welcome note with a little crystal dish of enormous and delicious strawberries, as well as a couple of Pacari chocolates (be sure to visit them across the street). Bathrobes were provided (but not slippers), and we were pleased to find L’Occitane amenities in the bathroom.
The bathroom was a little small for a suite, with just a walk-in shower and a and a single vessel sink mounted on an antique dresser. The towels provided were not very plush and appeared to be years-old.
We slept reasonably well in the king-sized bed, but we were disappointed but the poor quality of the linens and pillows (thin and lumpy, with a synthetic fill).
Also disappointing was the included breakfast at La Cocotte restaurant (it is no longer “Casa Alonso”). As other reviewers have noted, the offerings were rather meagre.
Overall, we really enjoyed our three-night stay at Mansion Alcazar. It’s a handsome hotel in a perfect location, and the staff is so friendly and hospitable. I appreciate the building’s heritage, and the charm of the antique furnishings, but most of them now need to be reupholstered. It is also time to replace and upgrade the mattresses and bedding.
