no in-house dining

The hotel offers a convenient location with quick access to the main road and nearby attractions. A highlight was the good breakfast options with Spanish dishes. The bathroom cleanliness needs improvement, with reports of clogs and mildew. The absence of in-house dining and limited channels on the TV took away from the overall experience.

good location but basic amenities

The hotel offered a convenient location with quick access to major attractions. The nearby railway station provided additional travel options, which we appreciated as a family. The city view from our room added a pleasant touch to our stay, especially during sunset.

The amenities in our room felt quite basic and could use some updates.
