I had great expectations coming here, and it ended-up being the disappointment of the trip, even though it was the hotel that cost me the most.
PROs:
- Good location
- Building (hotel) itself has some character
- Nice reception staff
CONs
- Bad value for money. I did book a Superior room at a not refundable rate (so way less than rack rate) and paid an extra 22 Euro for the Alhambra view (Room 25). The room itself was small and didn't have anything superior about it, except maybe the bathroom that was larger than usual. the bad was TINY and I’m not a big person.
- Ridiculous AC. Wasn't cooling anything, which is very uncomfortable when temperatures average 37-38 degrees. We complained to the reception and were told that unfortunately the AC at the hotel (or in this room?) wasn't great. At night the air was way cooler outside than in the room. We slept the first night very uncomfortably because of the heat, windows closed. The next night we preferred death by mosquitoes to the heat and didn't regret it (actually no mosquitoes at night, thank god).
- No real common areas to enjoy the beautiful hotel
- Average breakfast at best. No hot dishes.
- Some standard rooms located on the first floor don't seem private at all. I would still book a superior but not go for the room 25 (Alhambra view) especially in the summer where you can't enjoy the terrace anyways, since it's so hot.
- No Room Mate feel. Obviously this property got annexed to the Room Mate family but no real investment was made. They should know that setting the Room Mate standard should be more than just putting orange toiletries and a green Apple. Very disappointing. I expected so much more from this place.
