That was a very disappointing stay. The room was too small and very shabby, with old and dusty furniture. Food isn't good either - dinners are ok, breakfasts are just terrible. There're bugs in cornflakes! There're no minibars in the rooms - it was really irritating, when it's +40C outside. You'll have to put your bottles with water just on the air-conditioner to get it cold. Smart :-), but a minibar is a must, I think. It was actually the first time in my life, when on travelling to a southern country I stayed in the room without a minibar in,
There's no TV in the rooms either - well, there's a TV-set, but you'll have to pay extra, if you want to watch the only 3 german channels, that they have. ))) You don't go to Spain to watch TV in the room, it's clear. But if you had a chanse to have a look at it just for a short while before you go to bed, so it could be much better.
There're a lot, A LOT of rules to follow in this hotel. And nobody bothers to explain them to you on your arrival - the only paper you can find in your room - also old and wrinkled - in in German. So, be careful, if you take a wromg table at breakfast or a wrong plate :-) - they'll come up to you and try to explain something, that you shouldn't have done this, and that, and that. They 're hard to understand - their English is just very poor.
Having talked to some Germans, i got said, that their german wasn't better. :-) so, learn some perfect Spanish, if you expect some good service at this hotel. :-)
But all of that is not the worst.! :-)
The worst is that it's ALWAYS VERY noisy, both inside and outside the hotel. It's impossible to relax and very hard to sleep. You can hear all your neighbours around and can easily follow, what they 're talking about. The same with the noise from the streets - a music til 2 a.m. seems to be playing just on your balcony.
The staff never asks you, if you like their or not - they don't care. The only thing the manager can ask you - when you are going to pay. :-) Omg, it happened to me for the first time in my life, too. .-) You normally pay when you check out - here i was asked to pay the day before. Unforgettable.
So, if you want to have a good rest and service, just find another hotel. i'll never return and never recommend this one to anyone.
