10/10 Excellent
"This is not a 2 star hotel. Do not let this fool you. This property is amazing!! The front desk was very nice and the rooms were clean. It’s a 10 min walk to the city center but it’s along the river and quite peaceful. I looked into why it only has two stars and it’s because Spain requires every hotel to have a star rating based on certain amenities. This hotel can not go over two stars because it doesn’t have a 24 hour reception. That’s the only reason. We had a wonderful and pleasant stay in a great hotel with great staff."

"The room was clean and modern with air conditioning. The location was perfect- close to the old town without the late night noise. We don’t have the breakfast- at €19, it didn’t seem good value. There were welcome drinks and found the staff very helpful"
