I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean with great amenities like a fridge and microwave, but the service was lacking. The location was convenient, close to the city center, but unfortunately in a dirty area. The dining options were excellent with a wide selection of Iberian products, but the facilities were a bit outdated.
