It was great except that some of the fixtures in the bathroom were a little loose and needed attention.

6/10 Good

The room was definitely clean and the attached bathroom as well. The gentleman who helped us was also very nice. But. But it was definitely in a very depressed area that was quite a walk from the main part of town. And the immediate area was odd, many homes and storefronts boarded up, abandoned, etc. maybe it’s coming back? Not sure, but it’s not there yet. The room is very noisy - close neighbors and thin walls, yes, but mostly it’s the pigeons, seagulls and street noise. And we were on the 3rd floor. I think the advertising on this property is misleading. It’s not a bad place, and maybe for the price, that’s what you get, but I would have liked a bit more honest info prior to booking. Maybe this can be that for you.

Great stay
We had a great time here even though just staying for 1 night. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, modern and very clean. The only downside I would say is that our booking said King size bed, but we received a double. Highly recommend a visit.

Very basic hotel. Rooms are small, pillows were a joke, could not even get ice, it is more like a hostel then a hotel, my opinion.

Very good customer service.
Service is good . The front desk is friendly, accommodating and helpful. Location is good, easy to get Uber. The room is a small for the 3 of us - smallest among the 6 accommodations we had in our Spain/Portugal family tour.
