Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Basic facilities and comfort — With a 2-star rating, rooms are functional rather than luxurious, and the Comfort score of 5.6 indicates some guests find the beds or furnishings dated.
  • English may be limited at reception — Some guests report that staff speak limited English, which could be a hurdle for non-Spanish speakers needing detailed assistance.
  • Varied room quality — While some rooms have private bathrooms and balconies, others share facilities, and the Quadruple and Triple rooms lack listed amenities such as heating or a balcony.
  • Street noise potential — Given the central location on a busy street, some guests may experience noise, though soundproofed rooms are available.
