The Principado has an excellent location. The rooms are a nice size. Everything is clean. The staff is friendly. Prices are good. The breakfast is good and the workout room is sufficient. However, there's not a coffee maker.

Disappointed at check in as they gave my two rooms away to others. After that issue was fixed they then advised me that they canceled one room as they felt it was a double booking mistake. Hotel did credit me a refund but then wanted to charge me more to “rebook”!
