Just back from a four day stay at the hotel mate leo which excelled my expectations. After reading the most latest review, I wanted to clarify that the breakfast is great (cold buffet of ham, cheese, spanish omelette and what I think is gazpacho), fruit, croissants, fresh juices, yoghurts, toast, tea coffee and cereals, plus wireless does work in the rooms.
The staff, from the reception to the cleaning and catering staff were friendly all round.
The best point was the room itself - quiet and very well appointed - looked brand new - all creams and browns. I get the impression that someone has really thought about the decor and how to effectively use the space. They even put a slip of paper in each room informing us that the clocks were due to go back - little attention to details helps.
Great location - by the cathedral and a lively shopping/restaurant area, but not too lively - ie not 'nightclub' lively if you know what I mean. I must be one of the few who was 'underwhelmed' by the Alhambra, but on the positive side, the hotel really made the stay special.
Minor point - the TV didnt have any English TV channel but hey, when in Spain....!
