We stayed here for a week in July, and were very happy with it. Our room was quite big for a city centre hotel and the location was perfect. Right in the heart of the centro historico, you can walk almost every where from it. We went to the beach a couple of the days, which was a 15-20 minute bus journey from the historical centre (bus stop is a five minute walk from the hotel) The bus that goes to the beach, also passes by the City of Arts & Science. The staff are very friendly but don't speak much english, but through gestures and pigeon spanish we were able to make ourselves understood! I think visitors to a country should make some attempt to speak some of the local language anyway, even if it's just hello and goodbye. Loads of lovely restaurants and coffee shops in the vicinity of the hotel too. All in all, we were very happy with the hotel which was competitively priced and would stay there again.
