The hotel had no AC and the beds were uncomfortable. The towels are very old. The pillows are very old and tiny. We were there for a night so we managed but we would not be able to stay there for longer than that.

It was ok, the fridge button was broken and the card to the room also activates the power in the room (and we were given only one room key, so not ideal). No vegan options for breakfast (only toast with jam).

My Mom’s (82y/o) first trip to Spain!

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Rio Arga. The front desk ladies were extremely friendly and helpful. It’s a little hard to get to but the location is worth it. Just follow the written instructions they send. Have them translated before leaving. GPS does help in this situation. The hotel is an older building and provides the basic needs. Our room had a frig but no kettle, which was fine. The Juliet balcony was nice to look out and see the quaint streets of Zaragoza. The bathroom was nice. Again, this hotel was simple yet provides the basics needed. Sheets are soft. Towels are a little worn but they do the job and they aren’t scratchy. My mom and I were comfortable and happy, and she’s 82, active with a bit of a back issue. I chose this place for the location and she walked easily around this particular area. It is nicely located to the Basilica. When you step out into the main street, which is steps away from the hotel, the view is incredible! Shopping is also really good. There’s a delicious churrería and lots of shops with sweets close by. I really wanted to see the palace Aljafería and it was beautiful. Reminds me of the architecture at the Alhambra in Granada! If you have car make sure to get the car size to them and get a spot reserved. The parking is tight but right on site, which is incredible given the small streets. We really enjoyed our stay in Zaragoza!
