Reviews
Upon checking in, I informed the receptionist that I had tried calling the hotel no less than 10 times and all I got was a repeated answering machine I also sent an email with 3 requests none of which I got a reply for and she clearly informed me that if they were busy then they will not reply which I honestly thought was pathetic.
She should really try changing her attitude simply because if travellers are tired or moody and when confronting such a moody and obnoxious personality it will regrettably reflect badly on the hotel.
The rooms are comfortable and clean.
The Spa is beautifully equipped and most enjoyable for sure well worth visiting again. Maybe I was too tired but that was very relaxing
The garage and parking is very well accessible.
Lastly, the lady who gave us the massage was very professional and released 2 trapped nerves and I'm most grateful.
A DIA supermarket is conveniently located directly across the street. The hotel offers easy access to attractions like Puente Nuevo and the bullring, and seems quite accessible for those arriving by train as well.
A crucial tip: absolutely avoid eating in the two streets immediately adjacent to Puente Nuevo – you're guaranteed to be overcharged!
If you're driving, be extremely careful and try to avoid the old town area. The front desk staff shared that some guests have inadvertently received a €200 fine for entering it.
Cleanliness: Spotlessly clean and tidy.
Location: The location is excellent. It's very close to the long-distance bus station, which was incredibly convenient as I arrived from Seville by bus. Plus, it's just a stone's throw from Puente Nuevo (New Bridge) and the bullring – both were high on my list of places to visit.
Service: The front desk staff, especially a very friendly lady, was exceptionally helpful. She enthusiastically introduced me to the local area and even marked the main attractions on a map. Breakfast was also good.

The host was very helpful and gave us a few good recommendations of things to see and do.
Flexible check in and the staff was very nice and friendly.
Places like this (nice and affordable) always attract a mix of people and of course there is always a couple who has no regard for other guests and smashing doors, talking loudly when arriving late at night.
5 min from the main Street.
