6.0/10

The hotel room was quite small, more suitable for a quick overnight stay. Although there were some items left in the bedside drawers from previous guests, the room itself was spacious, well-lit, and surprisingly quiet despite its location on the main road.

Rooms

The room was sizeable, light, and surprisingly quiet despite being on the main road.

Service

The service was a mix. While the reception was a bit scruffy and unwelcoming, the staff who brought room service and took care of housekeeping and laundry were friendly and helpful.

Location

The location was adequate for our needs, although a bit far from the town center. We appreciated being given an outside unit that made us feel more independent of the hotel.

Dining

5.0

The breakfast service left much to be desired, with staff in less than ideal attire and limited options. However, the bright and well-presented tapas were a highlight.

Facilities

The rooms have some potential but lack attention to detail in design and maintenance.
