Just stayed here 3 nights. The staff were very nice even when i messed up my check in time. The hotel is well situated. The room was tidied every day and fresh towels put out. I’d happily stay again.

The hotel's policies need improvement, and they should provide services befitting a 4-star hotel. Initially, the reception staff were friendly, and the Spanish people were very kind, but the hotel's services need improvement. I called reception and asked why they hadn't provided water in my room, as is standard in 4-star hotels. They told me there was water in the refrigerator that I could drink. However, when it was time to check out, they told me I had to pay for the water. I pointed out that they were the ones who told me to drink it, and they replied, "No, we told you there was water in the refrigerator!" Furthermore, slippers weren't provided in the room, and neither coffee nor tea was available. Honestly, the hotel's policies are very poor, and I don't plan on returning.
