In light of the mixed reviews received by this hotel, I was somewhat anxious about the condition of the hotel. While it is hardly luxurious, the Hotel Real provides a decent place to stay. My room had a comfortable bed, a large work desk with internet access, a new flat panel television, a modern and ample bathroom with a great shower, and climate control (air conditioning) that worked fine. The adjoining restaurant has a breakfast buffet in the morning that has the usual fare. To the North American taste, the lack of cold milk for the cereal (hot milk was available) was a bit surprising -- but there was juice, cereal, pastries, coffee/tea, toast and the European assortment of cold meats and cheese. Lunch and dinner in the restaurant were reasonably priced (13 euro) and the food ranged from OK to tasty. From what I could see, some of the interior facing rooms were on the small side, but those with an external view were certainly ample. Everything was clean; there were ample toiletries although inexplicably the bath gel was never replaced (I asked for more and got body lotion instead??). The staff at reception was friendly and professional. So, I have no complaints and can recommend this hotel to someone who wants reasonably priced accommodations.
