I stayed at this hotel in October 2007. My rate was 82 euro / night. Overall its OK, but I didn't it find it to be anything special.
The good: The lobby, pool and fountains are very nice and inviting. The glass elevators are a nice touch and give it a more modern look.
The not so good: The rooms are pretty basic, after seeing the lobby you will be disappointed with the rooms. There is no work-out facility. They claim to offer high speed internet, but the signal is so weak you have to be in the lobby to use it. Reception is efficient but far from friendly. They still allow smoking in some areas and the smell is evident through out. There is a nice breakfast buffet, but its offered in a windowless room with overworked wait staff.
Tips: If you are in the area eat at Carmen Restaurante (you will need to take a taxi), beautiful view of the palace. Don’t miss the Cathedral
