Reviews
Back to hotel after dinner and they didn’t pick it up
And that day, the room was also not made
And these days, they don’t always replenish amenities whenever they rom is cleaned. Eg there was a day I didn’t have coffee capsule replenished, and another day no drinking water replenished
But front desk is friendly and speaks good English!
Location is its biggest advantage. There are bus stops directly down and on the opposite streets of the hotel, making it reasy to commute around the city.
The shopping mall next to the hotel is great as well. It has a lot of local Spanish brands, supermarket and basic necessities. Great to start with for some quick shopping.
