Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Facilities are basic — The hotel has a bar-lounge area and a TV lounge, but it's a 2-star property with limited on-site extras. The facilities rating is lower than other categories.
- Potential for noise from thin walls — At least one guest noted that the walls are thin, which could be a concern for light sleepers, though the same guest reported sleeping soundly.
- Limited English communication — One guest reported that staff had limited English, requiring non-verbal communication. This may be a consideration for international travellers.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be a drawback for guests travelling with animals.

7.8Verified guest“The location was perfect for us. A short walk from the train station made arrival easy, and all the main attractions, including the Plaza de Toros where we went for a concert, were within walking distance. The area was full of shops and restaurants. The staff were amazing, especially the woman at check-in, who was friendly and let us in early to rest. The room was small but had everything—a comfortable bed and clean shower. The walls were thin, so light sleepers might notice noise, but I slept soundly.”
