Reviews
Your staff made the experience even better. They greeted me every time I entered or left and were always ready to help. The housekeeping team deserves special mention—not only was the room spotless, but they even organized my makeup, which added a personal touch I didn’t expect. Clean towels were always available, and everything felt cared for.
Dora Hotel may be small, but it offers a level of hospitality and personal attention that makes guests feel truly welcome. Thank you for making my stay so memorable, I look forward to returning!
Warm regards,
Emilia Sanchez
Great location. Closed window=silence but lousy indoor climate, open windows=much street noise but better air quality, room next to elevator=noise. Nice room but hard bed. Standard breakfast. Friendly and good service from reception. Nice top-terrase with free coffee/tea availble.
Overall, a good hotel and area.
