“Great hotel... a bit far away though!”
Very nice hotel i must say, one of the best i stayed in.
Starting from the hotel staff, they were very helpful when needed. They speak english well. During my stay in spain i encountered a bad case of food poisoning (not food from this hotel) and one of the ladies at the reception desk gave me some tips on what i should do to help through it and also good directions to the nearest pharmacy and medicine names to buy. (please note that its really hard sometimes to find english speaking spanish people not even the police and at pharmacies!!) - please note also that healthcare is very expensive and for a doctor visit, the receptionist told me that it would cost about 200 euros!
The rooms are big and comfortable with huge windows and thick curtains for those who like to sleep in complete darkness. In ther room there was a nice LG LCD (1 italian station, a couple of english ones and the others are all in spanish) in all rooms.
The bathrooms are big with bidet, toilet, shower/bath and sink. and a huge mirror. They have also the small magnifying mirror ideal for contact leans wearers and ladies for makeup. Water pressure and temperatures were very good too. They had also a very nice luxury package of aloe vera bubble bath, shampoo and soap - something i never found in hotel rooms i been to. The set included also a comb, ear cleaning buds, shoe shine sponge and a bath cap. The pillows were a bit uncomfortable though, however there were some extra ones in the wardrobe and there is also an extra "pillow menu" where you can choose from several types of pillows to be delivered to your room (at a charge i guess!). We encountered some problems with sink clogging and leaks from the backside of the sink, hwever nothing major, the handyman came to take a look at it in less than an hour! (even though he than told us that it cant be fixed that quickly) The bathroom was also equipped with a good hair dryer. Laundry was clean and smelled nice.
Restaurants look nice, however i diddnt eat from there, i only saw them from outside. the food smelled nice too.
the biggest cons about this hotel, is that to go to the city centre you have to take a tram ride through half of your journey, and then another metro ride. The first few days i was ok with that, however it turned really tiring and boring afterwards...
Overall great hotel, i highly reccomended, however if distance is an issue, keep off.
