This is a wonderful small hotel especially if you want a very clean, quiet room to relax in. The rooms are a bit small (normal US hotel sized). Bathroom sparkles and very modern. Everying in the room worked well - hot water, great air conditioning, lighting, etc. They have a pull down shutter system to lock out the outside world. This was perfect for us to recover from jet lag and being able to take a nap anytime we wanted. Breakfast was also very good - they can make you eggs cooked to order as well as the yummy buffet.
The town center (Plaza) is a 15 min walk up (10 min walk down) from the hotel. Not too good if you are not good walkers. TIP: You can take the city bus from just around the corner to Plaza de Espana for 90 "cents", then amble mostly down hill to the square and back to hotel. The bus routes are posted at the stops and are easy to follow.
If you are driving, the hotel is on the South side of the street and main door has two large "pine trees" in pots beside the main door (hotel sign is not real obvious). You can park temporarily in front to check in and off load bags.
Management speaks good English and is very helpful.
Overall, a very quiet hotel with not much going on. There is a nice PC...This is a wonderful small hotel especially if you want a very clean, quiet room to relax in.

Overall, a very quiet hotel with not much going on. There is a nice PC in lobby, but I used the Wi Fi that worked well (get password at front desk).
I think the hotel is a bit expensive for one with few ammenities. But if you are looking for a "refuge" from the hectic tourist schedule, it is perfect. Tripadvisor shows 3 stars, but believe it is rated 4 stars. Just does not have the services that go with a major hotel.
Tip: Stop in a Churro / Chocolate cafe. Non sugar churros that you dip in a thick hot chocolate, almost a pudding. There is one about 2 blocks from hotel up the street from the traffic light intersection. A cheap breakfast.
The city is wonderful. Felt very safe night and day. Lots of students, but most people dressed fashionably. Lots of pedestrian streets to wander about. Linger on the square with a beer or coke and enjoy the scene.More
