Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers clean and nicely decorated rooms, although they can be too warm. The spacious and comfortable rooms provide a pleasant stay, but the heating may need adjustment. The service is generally helpful and friendly, but there were missed opportunities for improvement. The location, while near the sea, can be quite outside the city centre, affecting convenience. The dining experience offers some nice options but with limitations. Overall, a decent choice for a stay with room for enhancement.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The sea view room was perfect with a stunning view, a blend of European and American style, 2 twin beds, and a spacious bathroom with both a bath and 2 showers. The service was top-notch, especially Julie who went above and beyond to accommodate my requests. The location was excellent, just off the main beach road with great access to public transport. The dining experience was great with a good selection, albeit staff mainly conversed in Spanish. A minor setback was a slight wait upon check-in after a long flight, but overall, the experience was fantastic.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. Although the room was comfortable with a nice view, it was a bit noisy being next to the road. The service was mostly good with kind and helpful staff, but at times, they came across as abrupt. The location was decent, near the beach but far from the city center. The dining was quite good with lots of options but a bit expensive. Overall, it was a satisfactory stay with some ups and downs.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with views of the festival site, although they can be smaller and located next to a noisy street. The rooms provide comfort with good internet access, toiletries, a room safe, and minibar.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were nice and clean, but they looked unloved and in need of a makeover. The European/American style added a unique touch, and the beautiful bathroom, twin beds, and good wifi were a plus. However, the rooms were small. The service was a bit of a hit or miss; some staff members were unfriendly, but others were quite helpful. The location was convenient, but there were some struggles with numbers, and the hotel appeared rather dark. The dining experience varied from quite good to exceptional, with one of the best hotel breakfasts we've ever had, but there were instances of dirty dishes lingering on tables. Overall, the facilities met basic needs but could use some improvement.
I had a pleasant stay overall at the hotel. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff was extremely welcoming and accommodating to all my needs. Even though there were some minor issues like the unusually hot room causing mosquito bites and small room size, the cleanliness and good wifi made up for it.
