No heat or ac. Had a ceiling fan and had to open the window which let in lots of mosquitos. Room was dated. Bed was old. Walls were thin. Ceiling fan was old and had a remote glued to the wall. The buttons on the remote did nothing so the overhead light was on all night unless I pulled the key card to cut all power to the room.

Bad

For 2 star hotel conditions are acceptable, but in Spain in august without AC is terrifying, no central cooling, thanks god that the window was openable. A lot of mosquitoes, be prepared. Coffee on the breakfast is really far from italian or brazilian type.

Great staff and Spurs win

The staff were some of the most friendly and kind staff I have ever had at a hotel. I went for the Europa final (was really busy) and they were extremely accommodating. I would absolutely stay here again.

On the bright side, the staff is very friendly, helpful and professional. The location is good in my opinion with many options for dining and also supermarkets nearby. I felt the room lacked space as when I was lying in bed my feet were against the wall, and I'm no giant (6 feet tall, 183 cms). Also when I tried to plug a charger I noticed that there no free outlets. One outlet was for the TV and another outlet for the hotel phone.

Convenient location

We enjoyed this hotel. However there is no AC in the room in h the hot July weather. The walls are thin and we could hear our neighbour’s snore! But the hotel is conveniently located and clean.

It smells bad. There is no sound proof and I can hear conversations from the next room as if they are in the same room. I couldn’t sleep because somebody was talking to almost all night. There is no elevators, either.

My experience was horrible from the check in to the check out . Soon as I arrived at the hotel , it looked like a homeless shelter or hostel . The building is very old once you walk in you can’t help but see the dirty carpet and dirty reception . No one bothers to clean as it looks . The check in was rather quick and then things start to go downhill when they tell me the hotel has no lifts whatsoever and all rooms are on the first and second floor . I was told I had to take my own luggage ( a 30 kg luggage suitcase plus a 10 kg hand luggage . Nobody helped me. After a long flight , this is the last thing I want to do . I even mentioned the risk of someone falling in the stairs and injuring themselves whilst attempting to carry heavy luggage by themselves in a narrow staircase . As I’m making my way to the room I can’t help but see how dirty the hotel is . They have stains on the carpet and the walls are literally peeling in every way possible , the hotel lacks of air con and natural light . It felt so crowded and there little space in between rooms to the point you actually share balconies and there no sense of privacy . The room allocated to me was dirty beyond belief . It was so small and the decoration makes it worst . I had to move the bed slightly to plug my charger and it is clear no one cleans behind what the eye can see . I couldnt sleep all night because it was noise coming from everywhere and someone kept banging on the wall as I’m watching tv .
