Great property on a really lovely part of the city. Near metro station and could be easily walk to tourist parts if you don’t mind walking around 15-20 minutes. Staff were professional and assisted with requests and queries. Breakfast was decent and plentiful. Loved the complimentary water, drinks and treats in the room around the hotel. A beautiful hotel and would definitely recommend and stay again.

Overall was excellent.
The only thing is that the mini fridge was too noise during the night and I couldn’t sleep.
Also I could hear people on the corridors. Rather than that, the staff was lovely, the look was contemporary and cool. Everything was clean. I will be back.

One of my worst experiences. Two big issues:
The room smelled of cigaret smoke and the people were really noisy, never seen anything like it before. At all hours of the night and multiple times, yelling, throwing things and slamming doors! Never again!

The rooms advertised are the best ones, which are significantly better than the ones provided by the hotel. My room had no view of anything (wall), and the tv was on a sharp angle away from the bed, making any tv watching very uncomfortable. The rooms' walls are extremely thin so any outside noise will prevent you from getting a good night's sleep. Do not recommend this place for the money you pay.

The staff was not polite. At first in the room there was no air conditioning and told me that it was still winter in April with 78 degrees and we have to open the windows to hear all the noises in the night and could not sleep. 2 terrible nights. Then the next day they told me that there were changing the machines. How could they offer stays without emphasis that they are in remodeling.
People go to hotel to rest. So the key is to have a peaceful place.

Overpriced

The location of the hotel was good and the beds were comfy which is the main thing I guess, but the room we had faced the ‘courtyard’ so there was zero light in the room, might as well not had a window at all but I was unaware this was even an option otherwise I would of requested an outside room. The room smelt of sewage which was gag worthy. There was a loud flushing noise going on all night like someone was constantly flushing a toilet which was annoying but overall it was a comfy place to put my head down, glad it was only for one night though and I wouldn’t go back for the price.

Excellent location with easy access to transportation. Decent sized rooms and bathrooms. Daily housekeeping. Safe neighborhood.
Couple of things, no body lotion or shower cap provided, so bring your own. There’s a nespresso maker in the common area that staff don’t tell you about. You have to ask for pods and cups each time you want it. There’s also a microwave tucked away in the common area and you have to ask the staff for it’s use.

Good location but hotel needs to improve

I am quite familiar with the NH hotel group and have visited several in Spain. I found this one disappointing. The location is good, however the room was very basic and I missed coffee and tea making facilities in the room. There was a coffee machine provided on the ground floor but this was only available for a few hours a day and the hot water was not available. I was told to use the microwave to heat water (in a four star hotel?).

The breakfast was not so good and not worth almost €19 per person. If you compare with NH Malaga the selection and quality was not good at all.

Also, the staff need to smile more at the reception.

Staff at check out was kind , rather than that quite unfriendly. Hotels website marked it as a 4 stars hotels, which is a bit confusing during booking if level doesn’t match with actual one. Anyway I wouldn’t go back. I was expecting a bit more for a NH, especially considering price .

Very centrally located and in a beautiful old building, but ultimately a poor value. The room is small and barren, with little lighting and no drawers. The bathroom is large, but with no counter space to place your things. The heat was never turned on, so the room was always cool to cold.
This room is fine at $90/night but at $175/night, I would have expected more room, better furnishing and more comfort overall.

DO NOT STAY HERE The cost of this hotel does not match the service. The rooms are tired and in need of renovation. When we arrived the room had a strong smell of bleach, there was little ventilation and it became unbearably humid after taking a shower. We had to move rooms. No water was provided in the room so you are obliged to spend four euro on a small bottle of water. No apology was offered for all of the problems.
