We stayed at the Petit Palace last year and liked the location which is just off the Puerto del Sol. We thought we would try it again this year, which was a bit of a mistake really. The staff are great at the hotel and very helpful, unfortunately it ends there. Our room last year was dark with not much natural light. This year was pitch black. The gloomy "hi tech" decor doesn't help and its starting to look decidedly tatty. The bathroom was falling to pieces a loose, leaking tap, grubby edges to the surfaces and a "power shower" that was decidely limp.
The worst part was that the room and the corridor outside had a distinct smell of drains, the only way of clearing the smell was to have the window open. As this overlooked a large extraction vent it was a choice of one smell or the other.
For anyone thinking of staying here, avoid room 103!
The breakfast buffet was ok and as mentioned the staff are very helpful, but I think next time we will try another place.
