“Good location, basic, comfortable, but noisy”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

The location is very central. The room was clean and the staff were friendly. Having stayed here two years ago, the breakfast has improved with much more variety of typical continental breakfast foodstuffs than the previous bread roll and cup of coffee.

As others have noted, the biggest problem is the noise of the creaky floors and the flapping of the old-style shutters on the windows when it is windy. It can and did lead to a disturbed night's sleep.

The wi-fi signal was very weak to non-existant. The Mercado del Este beside the hotel has a Wi-fi hotspot and I was able to get a stronger signal from there for my phone while in my hotel room!

“No wifi!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2011

We booked this hotel as they advertised wifi in all the rooms. Not once did we get a signal and beyond resettting the router once which did not fix the problem, the staff were unwilling to help. The floors were also very noisy so you would hear thumping through the night. Don't go if you want wifi.

“Rioollucht, foul smelling bathroom & unfriendly personnel plus expensive”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2011 via mobile

The hotel although conveniently located offers bad value for money for 120 euros you don't expect bad smells, old rooms and unfriendly personnel

“Very average Hotel - 80´s furnishings!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2011

Stayed here 14th June - booked on spec - although receptionist took my passport details she insisted i pay immediately for the room. After getting a room on the 5th floor , and as the lift was broken , i walked up with my baggage to discover the key didn´t work . Trekked down 5 floors again & no one offered to carry my bags up... Room not great . Although a reasonable size, nothing matched from the blue walls to blue linoleum ( very 80´s) to cream flowery bed covers. Not cheap either .. E70 for single room..
