Amazing, quirky but enjoyable!

This is a most interesting place to stay. Don’t get me wrong, as it was enjoyable if a little quirky in that it is a huge building with high ceilings and amazing architecture. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary, if in need of a little attention, this hotel will delight.

A Beautiful Old Hotel

It was an amazing experience staying in an old but still beautiful hotel. It needs a major renovation to convert it into a modern hotel. We enjoyed most the thermal bath.

El hotel necesita una mejora a fondo, tanto en el mantenimiento como en la Limpieza de los Baños en las habitaciones. El personal es Excelente y su atención merece un 10, por lo que las deficiencias provienen de otras fuentes ajenas al trato directo del personal. También podrían mejorar en el ruido excesivo que produce el Bingo y los bailes, que no todo el mundo comparte. La finalidad del Balneario ha de ser el reponer fuerzas, disfrutar de la tranquilidad y facilitar las condiciones que ayuden a superar , aunque sea solo por unos días, el estado de ánimo de los pacientes que acuden a él. Les deseo suerte en todos los empeños que hagan para mejorar su calidad y siempre ser recordados como el mejor Balneario de España.

Historic Hotel, sont expect Holiday Inn Express

Nice historic hotel with spa. A page out of early 20th century history. Room not size of typical modern hotel but hall much wider. Grand staircase and breakfast in Grand Ballroom. Beautiful setting.public areas very commodiois because folks didn't sit in their rooms.

Sitio agradable para pasar unos días . Por momentos muy masificado. Servicio de balneario limpio y bueno. El personal muy agradable. Los precios de cafetería y restaurante no se corresponden ni con la calidad ni con la variedad , ni con la profesionalidad q ofrecen. Servicio de limpieza de habitaciones ruidoso y no demasiado concirnzudo.

Con encanto pero necesita reformas urgentes

Es algo antiguo pero con encanto, mejoraría mucho cambiando los cuartos de baño y los radiadores, es una obra urgente que tienen que acometer ya, y yo recomendaría además renovar un poco la zona de las piscinas y algunos detalles como poner dos almohadas como ya lo hacen el la mayoría de los hoteles.
