My impression of this hotel is very similar to person who posted "Hot Nights in the Lintzirin". I wouldn't stay there again.
First, on the plus side: the people working behind the desk were helpful and all but one could speak some English. The pintxos (tapas) at the bar were very good and the bartenders friendly. Many locals go to the bar in the evenings and for breakfast and/or coffee in the mornings. There is a very large grocery store with great selection located right behind the hotel.
The two main drawbacks of the hotel are how loud it is and its surroundings. It's located in an unattractive area (lots of concrete and dirty office buildings) along a very busy street. The location and feel of the place in general were disappointing considering the beauty of the surrounding countryside. The walls (both interior and exterior) of the hotel are very thin - possibly the thinnest of any hotel I've stayed in. We could hear the people staying in rooms beside us and also down the hall and, even with our windows closed, the traffic zooming by outside. Since this is an area where people are out 'til 3 and 4 am, you're going to hear them through the thin walls coming back at those hours. Additionally, the locks on the room doors (not deadbolts - just a simple lock & key) are such that people would have to slam their doors when leaving to get them to shut (no one seemed to bother putting their key in the lock, turning it and closing the door quietly) - the noise echoed down the halls and through the thin walls all night and morning long. A lot of sleep was lost at this place.
We seriously regretted not heeding the advice from the previous person - avoid the restaurant. Though it may seem convenient, the food is really, really bad - very similar to airline food (my impression is that it's most likely frozen food).
