Petit Palace Ruzafa Hotel
Great small hotel in chilled location. No fancy add-ons and no bar but who needs a hotel bar when there are so many surrounding it. Staff are friendly and helpful. Pleasant breakfast room with plenty of options. Quite small, so if you visit at busy times, take note of the 'busy times' info to avoid ...
