Had to put the heating on when I arrived as the room was very cold. The decor was very old, paint peeling and skirting loose. The washbasin was clean, hairs on it and the water from the tap was just a dribb. Having a shower was difficult as when you held the shower head up the water stopped altog. At the garage, the hotel advertised the price as €12 when it was actually €17.

Non merita le tre stelle

Arredo antiquato, camera sporca. Copriletto con macchie enormi sopra, capelli lunghi tra le lenzuola e sul pavimento. Colazione continentale ma il primo giorno mancavano totalmente cose dolci. Il personale non parlava nessuna lingua a parte lo spagnolo. Ho provato a chiedere degli adattatori per la presa del pc (quella in camera aveva due fori) e non mi hanno capito. Sapevo che non era un hotel di lusso ma non mi aspettavo un posto così.

Hotel piccolino e tranquillo

Hotel funzionale a 2 passi del barrio pesquero, dove ci sono ottimi ristorantini per mangiare il pesce. Hotel piccolino e pulito, staff gentile. C'é stato un disguido con la colazione che avevo pagato con hotels.com, i cui agenti del customer service non sono stati capaci di risolvere il problema. Il capo receptionist alla fine ci ha offerto la colazione per le 2 mattine,all'hotel risultava solo il soggiorno senza colazione che in realtá avevo giá pagato.
