Esrancia agradable

La estancia en el hotel ha sido una una experiencia positiva en general. La cama es cómoda y la habitación está limpia. El personal de recepción (Mariano, Antonio y Vanessa) muy amables y dispuestos. Un pequeño inconveniente es que no se puede reservar parking, si está lleno, te ofrecen la opción de aparcar en un parkig público cercano. .

The hotel was very clean but a little dated. The staff was excellent. I wish we had stayed a little closer to the downtown shops on Calle Mayor, but it was still walkable. Overall, a very nice stay.

Very nice pleasant clean and modern furnished hote

Pleasant stay, comfortable bed and amplespace in room, which was very clean and tidy with nice modern bathroom. The breakfast was ample and decent variety. I only dissatisfaction was that I was meeting friends from the USA during the day and there were no facilities to purchase coffee or tea or any snacks at all but would recommend a hotel and would stay there again. The hotel is nice replaced with walking distance of the old town and the port.
