This is a beautiful boutique hotel with a rooftop restaurant that has AMAZING views of the city. The staff is super courteous and helpful in both the hotel and the restaurant. The location is central with tons of restaurants, cafes, shops, markets, parks within walking distance. The hotel is across the street from one of the city's National Cathedrals, so expect to hear the church bells from time to time. It was a beautiful experience.

Nice, clean, look like newer beds. Nice linen on beds. Small spaces. We are senior citizens there is a nice view on 7th floor where elevator stops. If you want to go up from there a set of stairs

Hotel Vaway is perfectly located adjacent to the historic town square and cathedral. Rooms are great, staff is excellent, rooftop restaurant has fabulous views! Since it is located in a busy area, there can be considerable street noise. But the location is very safe and convenient to everything.

Not worth the price. This hotel doesn't provide all the main necessities you need at a hotel. The phone line didnt work. Loud noises in the morning that kept waking me up. The pictures provide online is misleading, I was expecting a room with a view and I didn't get that. I was very disappointed staying at this hotel.

Even though some floors are still under construction with updating the hotel is lovely with a great rooftop bar and restaurant and a second rooftop for viewing and relaxing by the fire. This hotel has a generator and an elevator. Staff was great. Your stay includes breakfast, which is served between 730 and 930 and the head receptionist, speaks English as well.
