I had a decent stay at Hotel Cathedral, but there were definitely some ups and downs. The location was pretty convenient as it was a short walk to major attractions, but the street itself isn’t the most charming. My room was spacious and clean, although I didn’t get the upgrade I paid for upon arrival. The staff were friendly, but I wished they could've done more about the mix-up. Overall, it wasn't super fancy, but it didn’t break the bank either.

My room was large and generally clean, but I didn’t receive the upgrade I had hoped for. The high ceilings were nice, but the steep stairs to reach my room weren't ideal post-exploration.

The staff were super friendly and offered great tips, but I felt they could enhance the experience with some additional comfort in the room.

I found the breakfast to be a bit lacking in variety for the price I paid. While the pastries and breads were good, there wasn't much else to choose from, and I skipped it on the second day.
