My husband and I loved it here. Some of the more negative reviews seem to be from people who do not realize this is a romantic hotel intended for couples. If you are on a business trip, this is probably not the hotel for you. If you want to be in the middle of a big city, this is not the hotel for you. But if you are looking for a quiet, beautiful, and romantic place to stay, this is the hotel for you! It's a beautiful OLDER building, meaning everything might not be brand new (some of the reviews here comment on the fact that the building is old -- of course it's old, look at their website or the town that it is in! If you do not like charming older buildings, this probably is not the place for you). Also, if you have accessibility needs, this is not the hotel for you. Parking is a little far from the hotel and walking along cobbled, steep streets is everywhere. I love that about this hotel, but if anyone has trouble walking, it might be a little much.
The Borducan serves a wonderful breakfast every morning. Meat, cheese, pastries, fresh squeezed juice, coffee, wine, nutella. I found the staff to be very helpful and kind. They gave us recommendations on where to explore during our stay. One day my husband and I took the bus just for fun, the Borducan directed us on where it stops (there is a bus stop very close to the hotel).
The restaurant is beautiful. The prices are high, and the dishes are small. However, the food is delicious and beautifully composed. I read some reviews that complain about the quality-to-price ratio. I felt the quality was very high. Every dish looked like a piece of art and tasted delicious. Ingredients were fresh and combinations were unique. My husband got hazelnut encrusted lamb -- it was DELICIOUS. I see this restaurant as a special occasion experience. Some travelers may want a more casual meal, if that is the case, do not eat at the Borducan. If you want a beautiful, thoughtful, delicious, unforgettable meal, eat at the Borducan. It just depends what you want. They are a romantic hotel, and they do this very well. I can't...
Read moreI spent 2 nights at this hotel. The location of the property is really good and have a stunning view. There is no lift and that is not a problem because the hotel is small around 10 rooms in the total. The sound insulation between the rooms is absent, you can listen every movement and each words at your neighbour's room. Concerning the breakfast, there is no open buffet, you will be served at table , basically the breakfast offered for two persons consists of 2 plain croissant, one chocolate croissant, 2 thin slices of cheese 2 thin slices of raw meat, one spoon of chocolate spread, 2 small cubes of butter, jam and bread, all in a beautiful display and coffee or any other hot drink. You can ask for fruits, nuts, yogurt, milk, corn flakes, but no eggs. During our stay There was a problem in the wifi internet connection at the hotel, we weren't able to make a call! The room was clean, the toilet at the room we chose was small and the bidet and cuvette inside it are suitable for babies and not for adults! The handle of the faucet was broken and it felt down each time we try to open it and they are trying to hide (and not repair) this ANCIENT problem by putting an aluminium foil inside it. The mini bar was complementary and refilled each day. The one large bed is formed by two single beds with two mattresses between them a distance of at least 5cm ! The staff is reduced and seems to be always busy and give a very small information as answer after too many questions you ask. The hotel is called adults only but in fact there are children. The fenicular was not working during my stay. The price of booking.com was more convenient than the booking directly with the hotel. Overall, for me, the value for money was bad, and from my point of view I consider that the hotel does not deserve the high rating that has. I recommend the visit of the beautiful Sacro Monte but I don't...
