Amazing refurbishment of an old favourite. I love what you have done to the hotel, it is clean, spacious and has the friendliest staff. The rooms are huge and we had a great view over the Parque Alameda. The rooftop bar and pool area are great. Breakfast was really good - lots of choice. Thank you - we had a great stay
