In a new building set back slightly from the carretera to France, this is a very smart and modern hotel with well designed and laid out spacious rooms. Our room on the first floor had a balcony facing the river and hills down the valley. Facing south we could spend hot afternoons sitting in the open French doors enjoying the breeze and sound of the river. The hotel is also a bargain and within an easy five minutes stroll of the old town. A great bathroom and toiletries plus HD TV cap it off. Sadly, a previous reviewer was right that the walls are paper thin and banging doors, moving furniture and voices (just) transmit. Our second night was better when we had no one next door - yes we could tell!! When will Spanish hoteliers learn the benefits of carpeting? If only at least in the hallways where voices and footfalls echo tremendously along the marble-esque floors in this hotel. None of that is reason not to recommend it - just be prepared with ear plugs!!
