ineffective air conditioninglimited breakfast
The air conditioning was not working effectively. The room remained uncomfortably warm. Despite reporting this issue, it was not adequately resolved . the breakfast selection could be improved. There was a noticeable lack of variety in the hot food options. The coffee quality was below standard. It lacked richness and flavor, i expect better for the price.

Fantastic Location. Comfy Rooms

central locationclean roomclassic designhelpful staff
The location was fantastic. It was right in the center. The room presented a clean, comfortable space, and I admired the classic interior design. Staff were very polite and helpful, and the check-in process went smoothly. I especially enjoyed the rooftop area. It was so relaxing after a day exploring.
The cheaper rooms face inward into a dark courtyard and these rooms smell damp. the courtyard rooms face other room windows, and you can hear people gargling and snorting in the bathroom. Pretty gross.

convenient locationhelpful staffdim lighting
the location is very convenient. it is just a short walk to plaza mayor and the atocha train station. the staff was helpful and quick to respond to our needs.
The room was quite dark. the lighting was dim, and it overlooked a courtyard so there was limited natural light. I often chose to take the stairs instead.
