About

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Genuinely helpful staff — Guests repeatedly mention the friendly and attentive team, from reception to housekeeping.
- Quiet rooms, mostly — Several guests noted that rooms facing the courtyard are quiet, and one review highlighted being away from the main road.
- Free parking — On-site parking is available at no extra cost, which is a real plus in a busy city centre.
- Good value — With a room rate from £44 and an 8.6 rating, it delivers solid basics without the price tag of more central hotels.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Reception isn't 24/7 for check-in — Check-in is limited to 3 pm–6 pm, so you'll need to plan arrival time carefully.
- No pets allowed — The hotel doesn't accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with an animal.
- Some rooms face the courtyard — While quieter, these rooms miss out on street views – a point one reviewer mentioned.
- Breakfast is limited — Complimentary coffee and juice are mentioned, but there's no full breakfast spread mentioned in guest feedback.

8.6Verified guest“Great spot with round-the-clock reception, free parking, and a gym. On my first visit, the team helped me figure out the directions. I'd recommend it for a comfortable stay and I'm already planning to return for Christmas.”
8.6Verified guest“Everything about the place was spot-on, from the cleaning crew to the front desk. Ask for a double room facing the street – the Wi-Fi is strong, and they provide free toiletries. The location is brilliant: close to the Isabel la Catolica metro, a big supermarket, and the main square.”
8.6Verified guest“The coffee is excellent. Everything is really comfortable, and the staff go out of their way to help.”
8.6Verified guest“My time at the hotel was great. The Wi-Fi was really fast, and being close to a taxi rank and the metro made getting around easy. The staff were lovely, helped with my bags, and gave me complimentary bottled water. The free coffee and juice at breakfast were a nice extra.”
8.6Verified guest“A budget hotel that's clean with comfortable beds. My room overlooked the courtyard, so it was quiet. There's a luggage storage room, and the staff were fine. It does the job.”
8.6Verified guest“Handy for the subway and off the main road, so it's quiet.”
